What I Saw In The Bible Today by shortgun(m): 6:37pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
I will like pastors, Bible students, theologians to explain this verse I came across in the Bible today to me. Proverbs 22:16 Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty. The part where it says whoever gives to the Rich will be poor Does that mean as Christians we should not give gifts to the Rich? Note: This is not a thread to show ur hatred for Christianity or Talk bad about the Bible. Thank you. |

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha That verse is outdated, now we are told to give to the rich (especially pastors) to tap into wealth. ![]() 1 Like |

Why give to the rich if not in anticipation for a clap back? The poor will only pray for you and do not have the wherewithal to repay your gestures. This is where the blessing lies. 2 Likes |

try to understand. it means that who ever oppresses the poor*steal from the poor* and give what he steals from the poor to d rich will meet poverty. those guys dat have rich godfada dat tells dem to xtract from a poor man for them.. not who just give to d rich. didnt Jesus Christ healed a centurion kini. 3 Likes |

Yahweh is god of confusion. His son said that "to those who have, more will be given". Please come to Satan today for real Salvation. |

One fact about life, people usually give to those that already have. My friend had a baby in a primary health Centre this year and her husband gave all staffs on duty some cash to show gratitude, when she was about leaving, she said they gave her a package that the govt sent to be given to all women who delivers there, it contained rice, garri, maggi, etc. but the woman who delivered before her and couldn't pay the 2k delivery fee was treated harshly and when the neighbour finally paid the fee, she left and she wasn't given the package. She needed it more but it was being given to people like my friend who didn't even use it at last. We give more expensive things to the rich to impress them but tend to overlook the poor that needs them. In summary, it's sad but in this world, nothing goes for nothing. I think this is a type of giving to the rich we tend to overlook. The becoming poor of course is not always a literal wealth. |

psucc:Makes sense....but there are instances where people brought gifts to the rich in the Bible |

dkronicle:I don't think dats what the Bible is talking about here. The verse is talking about two category of people who will become poor as a result of their actions. 1.People who oppress the poor to get their way 2,People who give to the Rich. I am very concerned about this verse cos am amongst those who give to the Rich |

It's very simple and straight forward. U don't oppress pple to become rich. The consequences is grave. And to those that give to the rich with the ulterior motive of seeking one favour or the other(bribery) will also meet their nemesis. *Everything depends on your motive. |
Re: What I Saw In The Bible Today by shortgun(m): 7:46pm On Dec 05, 2016 |

shortgun: Don't oppress the poor and collect what he has and give it to the rich - if you do this , you'll become poor . Pay attention to the commas |

shortgun: Proverbs 22:16 Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty. This simply means Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth will only come to poverty AND Whoever oppresses the poor to give to the rich will only come to poverty Is it now clear ? I just broke it down for you |

shortgun: Sorry. What you think is inconsequential in the scheme of things, per how pastors decide to interpret the Bible in their churches. |
Re: What I Saw In The Bible Today by menxer: 9:14pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
KingEbukasBlog: The confusion is with the word "oppress." many think only of the political class in that regard not the pastors who uses godly guise to oppress the poor. Oppression can be in any form, the worst being mental/spiritual dressed in "righteousness, Vis a Vis, God loves a cheerful giver, Sow into the anointing for a break through, taking care of pastoral needs opens God's store house for you, etc |

shortgun:Hi guys, is this thread about what I saw in the bible today? ok. Here is what I saw in the bible today - Can you help explain verse Jon 5:35 It clearly says John was a burning and shining light. now I am already wondering if John was plugged in, where did they get electricity from ? Here Jesus explains why all the miracles, prophecy, Signs and Wonders are an extremely important part of His Mission. Jesus says clearly in these biblical refs that the WORKS that He does bear witness that the Father has sent him. Joh 5:35 John was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. Joh 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the miracles/ WORKS which the Father has given me to finish, the same miracles/ WORKS that I do, bear witness for me, that the Father hath sent me. Joh 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who has sent him. Today, we are blessed to have the evidence of Jesus’ WORKS Biblically and scientifically verified in the Holy Scoan Church Nigeria and on Emmanuel TV. Only the WORKS bear witness of a real pastor, not their elaborate speeches, conferences and motivational speeches. Joh 14:12 Truly, Truly, I say to you, He that believes me, the miracles/ WORKS that I do will you also do; and greater (more) miracles/WORKS than these shall you do; because I must soon go unto my Father. |
