Did God give us limits...or did he say through Jesus that we can move mountains?

Yes, and I believe we were directed to be Jesus arms and hands here on earth for our season.  God may not need anything from us, but He sure does use us whenever He wants to, however He wants to, and that is His sovereign right.  We need to be willing vessels, if we want to recieve a blessing thru all the trials and such.\n\nYou can effect people without having a clue you are doing it.  It comes from the example you live out in your life, and if you are following the Lord, it will be for your good and the good of the Kingdom.  We all have had thoughts of what WE want to do for God, but what about what the Lord has planned for us, are we willing and ready to be used, sometimes without even knowing it.  Sometimes used in ways we would not consent to, except for Jesus in our heart.\n\nI have given money, knowing there was little chance to recieve it back, I have taken on care for 2 young boys, I have given up many personal rights, all in God's plan for my life.  There have been many more instances, and so many blessings from my trying to be obedient.  This is not what I thought I would do for God, but He has shown me that to raise my children in His knowledge is more important than whatever plan I thought would be for His glory.\n\nSo in this fallen world, we have to listen to the still small voice, and be obedient to it, even when we don't understand why... it isn't in our mind to know the mind of God. Blessings.

Who said we were content? That's the point - we're not content - we're on the edge of our seats!\n\nIf we were content in knowing that we'd be going to heaven, we wouldn't care about our actions on earth. Or some would care, but not care to perfect it and strive to try and make sure that they will be admitted to Paradise.\n\nThis life is a test - not knowing whether or not we're going to heaven is supposed to keep us with the mindset of continous spiritual improvment - and make us the best we can be as human beings!

"And when Musa came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said: My Lord! show me (Thyself), so that I may look upon Thee. He said: You cannot (bear to) see Me but look at the mountain, if it remains firm in its place, then will you see Me; but when his Lord manifested His glory to the mountain He made it crumble and Musa fell down in a swoon; then when he recovered, he said: Glory be to Thee, I turn to Thee, and I am the first of the believers. "\n\n\n007.144 \n\n\nMoses couldnt handle the greatness of what was he about to see so he fell down

We as Christains are not bound by the old testament anymore thats why Jesus came to set us free from those laws..Jesus says to love one another as He has loved us..Very plain..To know Jesus we will want to walk more like Him everyday and not do things to cause us to be seprated..

None. God said I am the begining and the end. The alpha and Omega. In me all things are and have their being. Where would the limits come from??

When it comes to prayer for Salvation for others - God can set up the situation that can result in Salvation even if it means taking them to a whole new low so they have no place else to go - BUT - ultimately such people must make that final decision themselves.\n\nWhile nothing is impossible for God..., he will not make that final decision for the person(s).  Either we accept him willfully or not.

God allows us to choose to do whatever we want to do.  It is society, humanity and organized religion that puts boundaries on behaviours and sets moral guidelines and laws to be followed.  God could care less what we do.  God loves us regardless and since there is no hell, we will still all return to be home with God when this physical incarnation ends.

The bible is 'Gods' word to us.It says to pray without ceasing. That means on a daily basis.I have had prayers that haven't ''yet'' been answered. They are still in his care waiting for right time or till I realize it isn't His will for my life, and I find peace about it.Hang in and hang on..God is faithful.   ''He is able to do exceedingly ,abuntdantly above that which  I ask or think''

One night in a reckless act of youthfulness, I drove my jeep 12 miles up a canyon on parallel snowmobile tracks.  When I finally got buried, I was on my way back down but going too fast so I drove quite a distance off the trail.  I uncovered the jeep, but had no traction, so I prayed to God.  He immediately answered, like he had been watching me, I asked him to put me back on the track, and he said why.  I said Jesus said, and he told me to get back in the jeep and he would put me back.  He did and as I continued the journey down the mountain I asked what I owed him.  He laughed and said I owed him nothing that he didn't already own.  My life became really interesting after that because others saw the tracks and wondered. A local religious person even offered me a Motor home to live in as we together would make money with this message.  I declined because its not any different than what others teach if they have learned what Jesus teaches. Proof I suppose would be pictures of where I had been buried in the snow and my exit out back to the trail?  Someone must have pictures because I told no one in the area of that drive.

What the Bible means to me is that Jesus is our Lord and God is our God and we will be saved in the end if we ask for forgiveness for our wrong-doings. God doesn't expect us to be perfect but he DOES expect us to try do our best for other humans and he expects us to love him above everyone, even your parents, siblings. I was shocked when my mom said she loved God more than she loved me, her daughter. I didn't know it was possible to love someone that much.....like how much I love my family. But I guess that's the "law" and I need to "get over it" and learn that God is above all others, etc...and that way he will gladly take me with him  to the gates of heaven. You asked. I answered.

It is written that God gave man the power of reason,,and the power to question his own creator,,,,,so the answer could be,,,that human kind,,,was been given limitless power to interfere with Gods will.\nthe more we question,,,the closer we get to God.

"To whom much is given much will be expected."  Remember the story of the poor woman at the Temple who gave her last two pennies?  Her contribution counted far more than the huge donations of the wealthy men.  Also, we are told, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal.  But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be."  Finally, Jesus says "the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those that find it."  \n\nSo my take on it?  VERY hard for wealthy people to get into heaven.  My reasoning is that these people are unwilling to give away their wealth to those who need it.  When they have the means, they turn their back on the poor.  Yes, I know that frequently the wealthy give huge sums to Church or charity, but this is very little compared to what they posess.  Jesus told the wealthy man - who, remember, was a good Jew who kept the Commandments - to sell off everything he owned and give the proceeds to the poor.  People who cannot do that to the extent that they are still living in luxary are attempting to serve two masters, which is impossible.

Too much! Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, giving them these orders: “Do not go off into the road of the nations, and do not enter into a Sa·mar′i·tan city; 6 but, instead, go continually to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 As YOU go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’ 8 Cure sick people, raise up dead persons, make lepers clean, expel demons.  > YOU received free, give free. <  9 Do not procure gold or silver or copper for YOUR girdle purses, 10 or a food pouch for the trip, or two undergarments, or sandals or a staff; for the worker deserves his food.

Jesus' keynote teaching is known as the Sermon on the Mount. Inherent to the Sermon on the Mount is an undeniable assertion, in Jesus' own words as related in more than one of the Gospels in each case, of the relativity of our personal capacities for spiritual expression and progress.\n\n\nThe Sermon on the Mount can be regarded as tripartite\n\nAn invocation towards leading a spiritually centred life\n\nAn encouragement of mild forbearance\n\nA litany against materialistic worldliness\n\nAn invocation towards leading\na spiritually centred life\n  And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:\n  And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,\n  Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\n  Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.\n  Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.\n  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.\n  Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.\n  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.\n  Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.\n  Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\n  Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.\n  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.\n  Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.\n  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.\n  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.\n  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.\n  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.\n  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.\n  "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. \nJesus Matthew 5: 1- 19\n  \nAn encouragement of mild forbearance\n  Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:\n  But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.\n  And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.\n  And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.\n  Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not away.\n  Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.\n  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you;\n  That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust\n  For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans do the same?\n  And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?\n  Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. \nJesus Matthew 5: 38- 48\n  \nA litany against materialistic worldliness\n  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold
