Bible Question:
Good Morning EdB! Thanks for responding... When you said 'the scripture God’s owes no man', I thought of Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. KJV He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. NIV He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and that which he has given He will repay to him. Amp One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, and He will repay him for his good deed. NTL Can you point me to 'the scripture God’s owes no man'. Thanks again for taking the time to response. Abba Father bless you... |
Bible Answer: Dear mbooker, I have been doing a word search on your question and have not found the verse I'm looking for but it says someting like "what do you have that you have not been given". The point is scriptural even if my quote is inexact. Illustration: A beggar approaches a servant of the King and asks for a loaf of bread. Now, the servant has instructions from his King to feed the poor, and has also been told that if he does so he will be rewarded. Because he desires to be found obedient by His Lord he gives the beggar the loaf of bread. Question: Has the King,to whom all belongs (the loaf, the servant and the beggar),now become a debtor to the servant? John |
