Charity is enlightening, usury leads to darkness
-
Praise be to God,
I now find myself thinking that charity is blessed whereas usury is cursed. Charity lead to ease, enlightenment, which defines as easing. Whereas usury leads to darkness, difficulties and focusing on particulars.
It is time the Gospel becomes a testimony to the world, it is time for the universal truth to come to earth, time for peace. Do you not realise God controls everything, what you fail to see, the Lord has already encompassed it, just have faith in the future, believe in the present, and devote to the past. When you do not devote to the past you lose your soul, because you forget the purpose of existence, to sift those who are appreciative from the unappreciative, those who have faith in prophecies to come, believe in the miracles of the present, and have wisdom from the past.
Ever come across things and you didn't say a thing, but later when you thought about it, you saw a reality in it. Praise be to God.
Charity is blessed, usury is cursed.
Jesus said man cannot serve both God and money.
Jesus said an owner of vine, let it to some tenants, on harvest he sent his servant to collect a portion of the crop. But the tenants beat him and sent him empty handed. So he sent another servant, and they mistreated him, treated him badly and sent him empty handed. Then he sent a third, and they even wounded him, and threw him out.
Then he sent his son, perhaps they show some respect, and the tenants thought let us kill him so that we can inherit the land.
So what is left to the vinekeeper to do? To come and destroy these tenants and give the vineyard to others."
The people said 'may this never happen'.
Then Jesus looked straight at them and said, "then what is the meaning of that which is written, "The stone the builders refuse shall be the cornerstone". (Luke 209-17)Charity is better than usury, giving instead of stealing, righteousness instead of wickedness. And so the Children of Israel were thrown out, and in their place "anyone who believes in God, believes in the Last Day, and leads a righteous life, will recieve their recompense from their Lord, they will have nothing to fear nor shall they grieve. (2;62) This includes the Jews, the Christians and the converts, but belief is implied as a prerequisite.
Jesus said, who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel
Whereas our charity is very little, whereas what they earn through usury is the equivalent of a camel to a gnat. Even in the temple, Jesus saw the widows small offering better than the gifts of the rich, because she was giving from what she lived from and they were giving seeking pleasure, instead of no pain.
Jesus' words have come back, and they are speaking to us in the present day.
Choose blessings instead curses.
Choose wisdom instead of ignorance.
Choose one God instead of many.
