Question 1 -
(a) Why is it as God loves us and wants the best for us, that people are not given the opportunity to succeed so they can do his will and praise him?

If the unsuccessful majority were only given the opportunity, many more may turn to and praise God, giving testimonies how good God is and lead people to God. Surely this is a positive outcome for those who love him and must be what God wants as it would draw people closer in praise and worship and thanksgiving. (b) Why is the opposite the case for many Christians, a life of frustration, sickness and failure where people are disappointed and angry with God ?

Many people in the examples below would want to seriously do God's will. 1/3 of the worlds population are hungry and many of them would be Christians. All their time would be spent trying to survive so they would have little money or time to minister to or help others. Other Christians are in prison for doing nothing wrong, therefore they would have a very limited way of doing God's will. They would have a very limited number of contacts. Others are so sick or disabled they cannot even read God's word let alone be able to minister or do anything to help anyone. Even well people in countries of high standards of living have technical difficulties to stop them doing God's will. For example a Christian works full time to write a book to convert others. But he has difficulties which make him take much longer than he intended to take to finish it, and he therefore dies before he gets a chance to show anyone. His life was full of frustration as he hoped to do wonderful things for God. Some have no finances to purchase the tools they need to do God's will. Others have no people to help them over the difficulties that stop them from doing God's will. Others are deceived that something is God's will (such as marriage or a career) but it may not be. The time it will take to sort out their problems will then prevent them from doing God's will. For others, the enormous amount of time to make the correct decisions in a complex and deceptive world and the mistakes made would prevent them from doing God's will. Also Christian parents would hope to do many things for God, but they can't if all their time is spent looking after their children, especially if the children have disabilities. (c) Could Satan have greater power to stop people doing God's will, as people say it is not God's fault and it probably is not a Christians fault, if they try hard?

In fact reports indicate that the accuracy is not better then chance alone, and also the successes of healing are not better then chance alone. Yet my experience indicates that many Pentecostals may be truly seeking God and many of their beliefs are correct and based on the bible. Many God seeking Christians try hard to do God's will but fail. The Christian life is like walking around blindfolded in a dangerous place.

Question 3 - As things are so bad humans easily get discouraged and are weak. It is an uncontrollable psychological thing in human nature for many to lose motivation and commitment when they think that God does not love or hear them. The devil seems to effect people against their will. Christians seek God hard but their prayers appear unanswered and they are still getting nowhere while trying hard to do God's will. They also know other Christians are having the same problem. People are leaving the church and are angry with God, as they claim they have been lied to when the church said they would be healed or lead by God. I read a Christian could not find God after several sincere attempts. As a result he burnt his Bibles. (a) How can people who are under trauma, who have been promised false hope, have faith in and have the courage to keep praying to and keep loving God, if they tried hard before, and their prayer were not answered?

It is advisable to read these verses before continuing.

Question 5 - Where a pension is referred to it means approximately only a little more than the amount of money needed to survive. God may consider this comparison too extravagant, especially in some countries, where the majority of people would be hungry and earning much less than a pension.
            Everyone should work hard, and we do need people providing essential goods and services. If things were fair and there was no corruption, there would be plenty of money to go around. The problem is that almost everyone is trying to do something to make money, in a corrupt environment where there is not enough money to go around. It could be satisfactory for everyone to try to make money if the system was fairer and the hardest working and most honest Christian people were succeeding financially. But often they lose more money then they make. Christians financially fortunate enough to be in professions earning in excess of a pension could retain them if it is an essential or beneficial service in God's sight and if they use all their excess for God's will. We do need people to provide money for God's purposes. However, it is so difficult to earn in excess of a pension. Almost no one is doing what the Bible commands, which is putting either all their time, or all money that they earn in excess of an approximate pension into informing people of the truth or helping people. Therefore people who don't earn more than a pension may be best not seeking to earn more than a pension. Instead they may be better off doing volunteer ministry or helping others.
            Many Christians try to get into a career or business hoping to earn more money than a pension so they can give the excess to missions. You would think in this case God would allow them. But often they fail to earn more money than a pension so their endeavor to do Gods will did not eventuate and their time is wasted. (a) Why is this so?

They would have been better off doing volunteer work for God's ministry. Something must therefore be wrong. It appears as if they were deceived into trying to earn more money than a pension. Deceit is not from God. They are still seeking to earn excess money in an over competitive and corrupt environment where many others are trying to do the same thing and fail. The disciples did not seek to earn excess money at all even for a good purpose. Instead they mostly gave their professions away. Luke 16:13-14 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. And the Pharoses also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 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. It is highly esteemed among men to earn more money than a pension. The present situation is of high unemployment and business failure rates, where too many people are trying to make money that is not available under the present corrupt system. If one succeeds in a career or enterprise to make money, they are therefore preventing someone else succeeding under such a competitive environment of limited opportunities. This is causing the unfortunate people years of unsuccessful hard work looking for and trying opportunities that they hope to make an income from. But often they lose more money than they make. The bible commands us to give everything and show love with deeds. At http://www.mt.net/~watcher/bluey.html someone who was involved in the occult quoted "Satan's entire kingdom runs on the principle of competition; just the opposite of God's kingdom where everyone serves each other." Trying to earn money involves competition.
           The disappointment and low self esteem incurred by people being prevented from earning more than a pension is causing suicides, drugs, family breakdown, crime, injuries, anger with God and people not being thankful to God. Under this corrupt system a profession to earn more money than a pension is often full time and very demanding. Therefore it can take over peoples lives, not giving them enough time for God. The pressure some jobs and study cause, can also lead to the above problems. To have any chance to gain a career under the corrupt system people are forced to study unnecessary information for years. It is a system of unnecessary high pressure and competition, which stops people focusing on the important things. Also the education system and many places in the workforce are infiltrated with evil philosophies and evil organisations which subtlety deceive once Godly people. Organisations including the Trade Unions teach people to be greedy and proud and not care about their country's economy or other people. Others deceptions convince people the worlds philosophies and entertainments are ok. This is because the education system and workforce teach them. What almost everyone thinks is good in the education system and workforce, can hence be dangerous. They often involve becoming part of and submitting yourself to the control of a Satanic system. The bible verses indicate not to do this. The deceptions convince almost all people including a persons best friends. Bad company lure people into evil activities. If people take part in the world system it generally corrupts and destroys them. People who succeed in earning more money than a pension are often proud that they are among the minority to achieve this. They often look down upon those who earn no more than a pension, even though many who are poor are the hardest working people. Few people are likely to use what they earn in excess of a pension for God's will. Instead they normally use it for their own benefit, and once they are fortunate enough to get some money they often are greedy for more.
           If people try to earn an income greater than a pension, they require more goods and services than someone who is satisfied with enough income to survive. These goods and services include energy, fuel, water, rent, interest rates, registrations, licenses and essential products. The problem is that these goods and services are mostly purchased from those with wealth and power. If people try to earn more money than a pension, it transfers wealth and power to those who are evil planning a one world dictatorship. At the same time it is causing honest hard working people to go broke, when they lose more money than they make. Therefore banks and multinationals can take their properties and gain more power. Trying to earn more money than a pension is therefore destroying good and helping evil prosper.
           It would be good to help people not to commit suicide, but how would you do it if they think the below? Suicidal people are warned it may be best not to read this paragraph. Informing people that some unfortunate people are in such plight, will encourage the more fortunate to help the needy. Under the current system in countries of high standards of living approximately 95% of businesses are making a loss, real unemployment is approximately 20% and poverty has risen to approximately 30%. The figures are much worse in poor countries. Qualified people who did well at university battle hard for years to find work. They lose time and money due to the effort they put in and unfortunate circumstances. Small businessmen work hard ( often 100 hrs a week) and innovatively for years only to lose money. For many hard working honest people, the harder they work trying to make money, the more money they lose, the more trouble they get into and the more trouble they cause others. This is because they would need help from their friends while trying to make money. If they borrowed from friends or needed other assistance they probably promised to repay them or return them a favor when they started making money, but to their horror either bankruptcy, unemployment and no time prevented them from doing so. All their time was taken up trying to get out of their problems which were caused by trying to make money so that they could use it for God's will. Even if they are converted and only seek to do volunteer work in future, their problems still often linger on to haunt them for years. They are trapped. These problems prevent them from doing God's will and helping others like they had planned. Some people are a burden to others and cannot help people due to health reasons. They feel they would help others if they committed suicide. They also see that if most people or everyone committed suicide than it would prevent more people being born to suffer in the world and than going to Hell. Also it would reduce the population pressure and hence poverty. They also see that there is no point going on, when they see almost everyone including themselves getting nowhere and being denied an opportunity to do God's will, despite suffering and trying hard. (b) How can we encourage people to go on, not commit suicide, and have Children given these risks?

In many situations positive thinking is good. In fact, often it is wrong not to think positive in many cases. On other occasions you have to believe a lie to think or speak positive things. For example many people think that most people succeed and are well off and that they will probably also succeed and be well off. Some things like believing in miracles causes discouragement and anger with God when they don't work yet God says we shoud believe in these things.

           Under the current system trying to earn more money than a pension is like gambling in a casino. If you are fortunate you earn more money than a pension, otherwise you are worse off. Gambling is considered evil.
           Most Christians??? would say no to these questions but you must remember that most people at the end of a civilization are wrong. Lot was the only one saved from his civilization and Noah and his family were the only ones saved at the end of his civilization. Math 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Math 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
           Mostly people who succeed financially are corrupt as they have to be part of and on the same wavelength as a corrupt world which will lead them to sins such as pride and greed. Most people who succeed financially are either ripping people off or dealing with corrupt popular products such as drugs, fashions and ungodly entertainment which probably are abominations in God's site. 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. People who desire to get excess money or receive excessive money fall into many pitfalls. As most people in the world earn below the equivalent of a pension and one third of the world are hungry (not due to their own fault), people who earn more than a pension may be considered rich in God's sight as they would be in about the top 5% of income earners in the world. They would also be in the highest few percent regarding standards of living. 1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. (d) For people earning no more than a pension, could seeking a career or business to earn money in excess of a pension in our situation, where most are missing out, be wrong or of the devil, even if it is planned for God's will?

            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; 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 from 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; 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 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?

Question 7 - We should be taking Jesus and his apostles as an example and teaching people what is commanded in the Bible. They wanted to see people doing what God intends so they can enter the kingdom of heaven. Sorry if this sounds too hard but I am aware that Jesus and the apostles said things like below. This is not directed to you personally. It is just an example of what could be said to groups of rebellious people.
           Jesus and his apostles were extremely bold and gave either their jobs or money away to do God's ministry, unlike most people today who who do not follow their example. What would Jesus and the apostles say to people today? The information is also based on the information in question 5 and that I heard if you earn as much as a pension in a country with high living standards you are in the top 10% of income earners in the world.
            Where the word fortunate is used, it indicates a financial advantage in this world. This advantage does not indicate a person is hard working or honest. God therefore expects people to use this advantage for God's will.
           Remember the apostles accused people of murdering Jesus when they did not directly do it. Some of them among the group accused, may not even have supported it. People were called thieves when they were not stealing in man's view. Some of the verses below refer to people as, hypocrites, vipers, liars, murderers and betrayers. Instead of saying some people are murderers they said you are murderers. They stated ye which means you who would be the people they were talking to. This was probably to stir them up more so they would do something about their life, repent and believe. Weaker talk has less of an impact. Some of the people referred to in the below verses were actually believers in the church who had the wrong idea. Some of the bolder remarks also included in the verses at http://www.truechristianity.com/christian/bold.htm are: Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.; Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers; Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money; Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor; He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; be content with your wages; O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?; Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?; Thou hypocrite, ye have made it a den of thieves; Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.; Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified.
            The below verses indicate that the church is too lukewarm and not bold or hot enough. Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
            Would the apostles say the below to the people of today? How would we do it? As an act of love, should we say something like below to people obviously in error to stir them so that they will repent and become strong believers?

            Jesus loves you and he would love to see you become Christians so you can be blessed in heaven. I would like to see everyone including you more well off in this life. It would be good if everyone could easily find paid work and only work a small number of hours to receive plenty of spare money and time for God's will. The problem is this is not the case. Most people are much worse off than you. The term "excess money" below means the money you receive in earnings or profit minus what you would receive if you only received a pension or unemployment assistance. For example if you earn $25,000 per year but if you were on a pension or unemployed you would only receive $10,000/year, your excess money would be $15,000/year. This is only an estimation as God may consider that you actually have more excess money than this, as only a small percentage of people in the world receive excess money. Savings would also be considered excess money.
            Congratulations if you earn more than a pension and use all your excess money for God's will. You are considered innocent if you are using your income in excess of a pension, to pay off a debt that resulted from trying to do God's will. God's will can include many things such as helping others, lobbying people to support the sincere hard working needy, or helping missions and ministries. It could include purchasing tools for God's will. If you think, why should I give or use all the money to God's purpose that I worked so hard for, just remember the poor honest Christian people who worked harder than you, who suffer health problems due to their trauma of not earning anything, and being denied a right to do God's will as a result.
           If you earn more than a pension and unless you give or use all money you earn in excess of a pension for God's will, you are guilty of taking other peoples jobs and income away, bankrupting or destroying small businesses that are normally earning much less than yourself and stopping people doing God's will by denying them the funds. Therefore you are stopping people from hearing the gospel and getting saved. Also you will be partly responsible for other peoples poverty, trauma, illness along with suicides, mental problems and crimes by unfortunate people. Perhaps you could be considered as bad as a criminal in God's sight and it is money that is either directly taken from poor people by you or money they deserve but you are wrongfully accepting. This is like thieving and murder if it leads to someone else's death. If you work for a small business manager and you earn $25,000 a year and only work 40 hrs a week. The poor honest small business manager is among the vast majority of people who are victims of greed and corruption. He is losing money and has a net earning of less than a pensioner despite innovatively working or slaving hard for over 60 hrs a week. But you are taking from him much more that you really need to survive while you watch the manager destructing into poverty and maybe suicide. This you would be partially responsible for if you don't use your excess money for God's will. If you don't, you are probably seen as an unloving, greedy viper and hypocrite that destroys honest peoples lives in God's sight. This is the nature of evil.
            Unless public servants use their excess money for God's will instead of themselves, public servants could be another example of unloving criminals who take more than what they need from the government. Some highly qualified people have unsuccessfully tried hard to get jobs for 10 or 20 years. They even said they were on the verge of suicide on national television. If you are taking the positions they want and not using your excess money for God's will, you could be guilty in God's sight for causing their deaths.
            If you want wage rises that increase costs, cause others unemployment, and destroy small business you could be even a worse criminal. Every hard worker is entitled to a wage. So why are you not using your excess money, or time to fight for the rights of those slaving in poverty, (for no more than pensioners wage) all around you, instead of greedily trying to grab more for yourself. If you destroy small business, there will be mass unemployment and slave labour, under multinational control. Surely you must be intelligent enough not to want this.
            If you support strike action that hurts poorer people than yourself you could be considered the worst, most evil criminal of all.
            Even worse you probably encourage or deceive others by telling them that they must try to earn more money than a pension. You are also encouraging them to take jobs away from others and wrongfully use their money on enjoyments, entertainments, fashions, unnecessary possessions, and investments in ungodly places that don't need it. You are lying to your family and friends, and encouraging them to do things which both destroy their lives and give them no time for God (question 5). You should be telling others to volunteer to do God's will instead. You are probably also encouraging others to be proud of their paid jobs, and you are probably also proud of having a job which is evil. Your motive should be to work to help others and not for money for yourself.
            Very few small businessmen are fortunate enough to have a net earning of more than a pension. If you do, but don't use your profits for God's will, you are guilty of unfairly competing against and destroying other small businesses.
            That means you need to use all your excess money for God's will. The only other option is you give your paid occupation to someone who will use the income wisely for God's will and you do volunteer work earning at the pension rate. This could include helping the needy or doing God's ministry. If you do you will still have more money than most others who often work harder and are more clever than yourself. If you don't, how can you watch other hard working, honest, Christian people dying and suffering in poverty all around you, and not help them. God commands that you repent and follow him which means asking for forgiveness and doing his will, otherwise you are the children of the devil and you are going to Hell.
            If you are saving money or investing money for yourself and not using it, or planning to use it for God's will, you could be guilty of denying others the funds to do God's ministry. Also you are partly responsible for causing others to suffer in poverty. If you don't use your savings for God's will, you will soon lose your money anyway, when the economy collapses or you die.
            If you are unemployed or on a pension you should do volunteer work to help the needy or freely do God's ministry which would involve many different occupations. You could start working hard today. Don't waste your time and money trying to earn an income in excess of a pension which will only take someone else's career off them or prevent someone else getting a career where there are not enough career opportunities to go around. There are plenty of opportunities for ministry or helping people. Under the current corrupted system, trying to earn more money than a pension, is almost as bad as trying to gain money by gambling on a poker machine or casino. Often it also involves working or studying in a system infiltrated with evil philosophies and evil organisations such as the Illuminati and Trade Unions. People with little chance of finding paid employment would be better off being satisfied with what money they are receiving. The apostles did not seek to earn more money than a pension. Mostly they did only unpaid work for God's ministry.
            Stop wasting your time and money on unnecessary things which could be considered idols or evil in God's sight, such as the things mentioned in question 6. Instead use your time and money for God's ministry and helping those in need.
            If you make satisfactory income it does not mean to say you are more clever or hard working than people who don't. It is just that you were fortunate to be in the right place to meet the right people at the right time. If you were unfortunate like being born in a poor country you probably would be in poverty and maybe crying out for other people to help you. By saying you are better than others by being successful is wrongfully putting yourself above others who are more hard working and more innovative than yourself. For example you may have randomly contacted only 20 people in a days work and very fortunately found the one person in your country of 19 million who can team with you and make you succeed. But someone else marketing in the best possible way spent years and enormous expense advertising and made one million people aware of what he needs but could not find the one person who could help him. How can a financially fortunate person like you say you are better than other people.
           Under the current corrupt system you have to be fortunate to succeed financially. If you do, but don't use your money wisely, you deny someone who works harder than you the opportunity to succeed financially. If you don't use your time or money for God's will and to lobby for a better future, you will have no future. Do you care about your future and your families and friends future? If you do spreading the gospel would be top priority. God will forgive you if you accept Jesus and repent. (end of speech or letter)

           The disciples offended many, were put in prison and were killed for their bold testimony, but they also won many to God. The people they influenced were more committed than most today, as the bold testimony of the apostles example motivated them to put their life right.

1John 3:17 - But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? Luke3:11 - He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
