So the Trinity have had the decorators in for 2,000 years!
Surely it will be ready soon?
But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
(1 Corithians 2 (NKJV)
HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord! Holy! Holy! Holy!

Just as I said, [b]It is the atheists and evolutionists that can give no evidence for their belief and say, "the burden of proof is on you" and with their fingers in their ears say, "I can't hear you, nah nah nah! Evolution, evolution, evolution!" 😏[/b]

The truth value of your statement is 0. Reason: evil has been documented in tribes that have no conception of money.
Wealth in material resources: furs, precious metals, weapons, women, herds of animals, magical totems.
Wealth in influence: the favor of the chieftain, being next in line for chieftain, becoming the tribe's medicine man.
Wealth in knowledge or ability: knowledge of trapping animals, knowledge of agriculture, knowledge of medicine, skill in hunting or fighting, skill in games of chance.
I could go on, but you get my point.

I thought he had minions for that sort of mundane stuff? Polishing is hardly fitting work for the king of heaven.
Funny thing, the God concept. Most agree that a dictator is a bad thing. Unless the dictator happens to be omnipotent. Then it's a wonderful thing...

P.S.
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

Originally posted by KeplerPerhaps it is not mundane to Him. After all He was the adopted son of a carpenter while on Earth. He created the heavens and the Earth and all living things. So perhaps He believes if you want something done right, you better do it yourself. 😏

I agree that if you want things done right you must do them yourself. In other words, if you want to do good, you must find your own goodness, if you want wisdom, you must seek it, and not invest all of your potential for goodness and wisdom into an imaginary father figure as a denial and a justification for your circumstances or out of fear.
