My Christian Understanding of Leviticus 26

Leviticus 26

Do not worship intellects

Do not worship bodily characteristics

Do not worship clothes

Do not worship charm

Do not worship expectations

Do not worship competitors

Do not worship luxuries

Do not worship anger

Obey the peacefulness of God

Obey the fairness of God

[ObscuredBeyond]

All valid points; but that's not the heart of it. The text is really against self-centered relativist attitudes about God and His character.

"In my view, God should be about..." That's what's not gonna fly.

Do my worship false idiols. give yourself to Jesus and be saved. The kingdom of God is forever, material things on earth are very temporary

[purplepoppy]

Leviticus (10:6) says if you don't brush your hair God will kill you. Leviticus is a great tool for scaring kids

[collie22]

YES! , God's shown us to walk in his word and don't worship false idols :)

What fairness?

[jennifer_bloom]

That each person deserves acknowledgement, respect, reasonable consideration, free will, and the necessities of life they’ve earned with their own hands

[Creampiekarl420]

That’s not fair when everyone isn’t even created equally because some will have to work harder than others and why a lot of people never try because they’re greatly disadvantaged

[jennifer_bloom]

I believe God rewards people who work harder if they persevere and do not give up. People have different paths but they all have the same God so to me life is fair for everyone in the end.

[Creampiekarl420]

Life is not fair and Jesus proved it because when he came he wasn’t going around helping Christians or people who were better off we aren’t equal it’s like Kylie Jenner saying she’s self made and if she did it anyone can

[jennifer_bloom]

Money makes it harder to love and worship God and many people have money but do not get any pleasure from it cause their happiness is not based upon on it - I get very little pleasure when I dine at restaurants - it’s just a little better then other foods - my happiness is God.

[Creampiekarl420]

I wasn’t talk about the money I was talking about being disadvantaged Kylie Jenner was already coming from a rich family it was much easier for her to become rich because she had the resources as opposed to some poor girl in a slum in Brazil somewhere and by the way money has done more for disadvantaged people than god ever has

[jennifer_bloom]

The bible says without God the whole world would be jobless and starve cause they would not even have the ability to earn money

[Creampiekarl420]

God says money is evil because he is aware that it can replace him in this world especially for those he refuses to help a lot of rich people don’t have faith because they worked for everything they have themselves money guarantees whereas god is silent

[jennifer_bloom]

The bible says to serve God and let money come out of your service to God, it says do not chase money cause you will lose God if you do.

[Creampiekarl420]

Free will is truly worthless and we have no need for it if god just wants us to do what he wants

[Creampiekarl420]

Money rules this world I say make all the money you can god can wait and he’ll forgive

[jennifer_bloom]

I said in a previous post that free will make social connections more intimate, personal and enticing cause you know you were chosen by somebody selfish and capable of ghosting you.

[jennifer_bloom]

The bible says God gives you money if your mature in your obedience to Him, he doesn’t avoid helping you but he wants to order your moral priorities before he helps you

[Creampiekarl420]

That’s why god can wait if he is going to hinder my happiness he can step aside

[jennifer_bloom]

You need God for real and lasting happiness

[Creampiekarl420]

God refuses to give it to me even though he forced me into existence he owes me happiness or an apology until then I get all I need from money 😁

i don't know whats going on there , i do know some people can handle more than others. And i believe if you can handle more God gives more :)
