What does the Bible actually teach about moderation and balance?

[jennifer_bloom]

I believe the Jewish bible teaches you should be religious, but you should not be so religious that you lose respect for non-religious people.

That is why the bible says to do good, but do not do more good than what is necessary or beneficial for the world. If you are too good, you will begin to compete with and judge those who are less good than you.

It says, you can be hostile but don’t be so wrathful it interferes with your happiness, behaviour, family, or personal goals in life.

Just like chocolate cake is good. But nothing except chocolate in your diet is torture and punishment.

Have boundaries and use common sense.

Too much virtue without building your happiness can lead to jealousy.

Too much hatred without building your understanding can lead to death.

Well like I've always said I've never read the Bible and I'm pretty sure that God has never ever wanted people to become religious he wanted people to become spiritual and you have to understand that no religion owns God he has not backed any religion whatsoever


Now there are many prophets that have started their own religion Christianity Jesus Buddha Muhammad John Smith that is their religion their books that teach what they have been taught

But no matter what the Bible teaches are any other book teaches there are parts that are left out because they didn't want us to understand or to know what they are it's all a manipulation if it's not all there the closest thing to it all being there is the Ethiopian Bible

That's the only Bible that I know of that hasn't been altered are things taken out because they have been changed for us to be manipulated into believing something they wanted us to believe in. If it's been altered in any way then how can you believe in any part of it

That's just my thought of it I'm sure that there are many many great things I know there's many great things in the Bible and any other book

And even though I am a very spiritual person I want to know the answers I want to know the truth but I can't believe in something that is not all there or has been taken out to change the way that we think that they don't things that they don't want us to know it's just wrong so I have to do search research on my own

I've only read parts of the Bible, but I don't recall anything it ways about moderation and balance.
