Bible Question: I like your point of view, and even agree with it. Do you know of any other scripture that expresses 'our view'? |
Bible Answer: With a cherry on top? My friend, I am honored to have agreement with you. May there be much more agreement among us, by His Spirit! About supporting scripture, I can find no 'perfect' reference. How about Ecclesiastes, where the Preacher talks about excessive toil being vanity. I suppose that in the same way you cannot take money to heaven, neither can you take big muscles. As to 'couch potatoes,' Proverbs talks about laziness. As to an 'over-pumped mind,' Jesus spoke of the dangers of over-zealous religion often, citing the Pharisees, Saducees, scribes and lawyers as being close to the Law, but far from God. Sorry for the generalities. If I come up with something specific, I will post it. Let us continue to share! In Jesus. |
