It is Best to Start at the Beginning of this Forum to answer these & many more questions.

It is advisable to read these bible verses before continuing. The following question addresses things that are probably wrong in God's sight, yet almost nobody is aware that they are wrong. The below information is therefore not pointed to you or at anyone in particular. If the things most people take for granted as being good are wrong almost everyone including myself have been at fault. The reason they are probably wrong, is that many people including myself, have been trapped in a hole by them, which we still can't get out of. I believe it is doing God's will to love and warn people of danger, as I don't want to see more people get into trouble. Question 6 - God's purpose is full commitment, either directly or indirectly, to serving him and his ministry. Many people including Christians??? do not have this commitment. Christians??? are doing or buying things that rich people accept as normal such as: * having holidays that cost significant money, involve unnecessary luxuries and are not for God's purpose; * playing serious competitive sport; * competition instead of a rightfully regulated fair goes for everyone; * trying to win things; * being involved in unnecessary education; * tidying or cleaning their property more than needed for show; * gardening unless it is for practical purposes such as shade, privacy, food or a means to lead people to God; * fancy or unnecessary cooking not needed to be healthy; * earning and keeping an income greater than a pension; * buying products, property or services not needed for survival or God's will; * buying possessions more expensive than needed; * investing in places that don't do God's will, (especially large companies who make big profits to pay their greedy executives); * being involved in any of the arts that don't glorify God; * toys that are more expensive than which can be afforded by most in the third world; * buying gifts that people don't need; * having parties that cost money and don't glorify God; * jewelry apart from a low cost wedding or engagement ring which is probably good so people will know who is married; * cosmetics; * fashions; * ornaments; * decorations; * Christmas trees; * pets with no practical benefit; * Easter eggs; * unhealthy food; * gambling; * drugs; * souvenirs; * entertainment's or enjoyments not for God's will; * reading fictitious books, magazines and novels, (which do not educate towards Godliness) and * watching fictitious programs such as movies that do not inform people for God's purpose. Most people in the world would be so unfortunate that they would not be able to afford or do many of these things. These things are highly esteemed by men. Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Almost everyone at the end of an age is deceived as in Noah's time and Lot's time when only one family was saved. If people are doing and asking for the correct things, God promises that they will receive a blessing. Presently many are asking but not receiving a blessing. James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (a) Are people not receiving blessings because they are doing the previously mentioned things? These things are not giving people enough time or money for God's will and are denying other people an opportunity to do God's will. They are also destroying honest Godly businesses that provide useful goods and services, as people won't have the time or money to use useful goods and services. (b) Are these things which are not necessary, wrong or of the devil? 2 Kings 17:12 For they served idols, where of the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing. Psalms 106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. Ezekiel 14:6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. (c) Would these things be considered idols in God's sight?
