All of us know one thing which is “LUST”or in another sense it is “GREED”, but I think both are nearly the same.\n\nLets see what bible says about a desire.\n\n“DESIRE WHEN BECOMES PREGNANT GIVES BIRTH TO SIN”.\n\nWe see that desire is the beginning of a Sin, it is the root of a sin. So when we have a look at the character of Judas ASCARIOT we find out that he kept all the money and arranged everything he was kind of a manager. But another thing he always took something from the money from himself, we see he was greedy and greed is the strongest of all desires. When this desire grew it changed into a great lust “THE LUST FOR MONEY”, and day by day it grew and grew and ONE DAY HIS LUST BECAME SO STRONG THAT IT SOLD THE CHRIST.\n\nAs we know it before when desire becomes pregnant it gives birth to a sin so his greed his desire for money made him mad, sin overtook him in the shape of desire. \n\nIt is very much symbolic because there was a fruit(something which we gain) in heaven for which man sold himself to Satan. And here in case of Jesus, Judas also took something shiny and good looking because in the garden of Eden Eve Saw. MANY PEOPLE ASK ME WHY DOES JESUS SAY HIMSELF AS SON OF MAN? THE REASON FOR THAT IS THAT ADAM AND EVE SOLD THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDREN TO SATAN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN, AND JESUS WAS ALSO SOLD BY JUDAS ASCARIOT TOTHE HANDS OF SATAN FOR CRUCIFICTION BECAUSE SON OF MAN ARE SOLD TO SATAN FOR PUNISHMENT BUT ON THE OTHER HAND HE WAS GOD(JESUS IS GOD AND MAN AT THE SAME TIME), SO HE DEFEATED DEATH AND BROUGHT SALVATION FOR US.\n\nGenesis 3:6\nAnd when the woman saw that the tree was good (suitable, pleasant) for food and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave some also to her husband, and he ate.\n\nWhen we see Judas also had something in his Sight which looked good the “THIRTY SHILLINGS”. SO THE SIN OF JUDAS ASCARIOT IS DESIRE(GREED AND LUST) WHICH SOLD JESUS. \n\nAnd I think questioning the text means nothing because we know what is the meaning because we believe that JUDAS ASCARIOT BETRAYED HIMSELF BY SELLING JESUS, JESUS ALREADY KNEW WHAT JUDAS WAS GONNA DO. JUDAS ASCARIOT WAS TESTED BY HIS OWN DESIRES AS IT IS SAID IN THE BIBLE THAT WE ARE TESTED BY OUR DESIRES. \n\nJUDAS'S DESIRE SHOULD BE BLAMED AND HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT CONTROLLING HIS DESIRE. THE BLAME ON HIM IS NOT WRONG.\n\nGOD BLESS EVERYBODY

Lust is a carnal desire, a fleshly thing, it fades with nuturing, satisfaction complete, move on.\n\nLove is more spiritual, not of the flesh, but of the mind, and it flourishes with nuturing!

Nope, the love of money, which is greed. It can be a sin of the religious and the non-religious alike.

Do you remember that Jesus brought a new covenant, to love each other as I have loved you?  Answers are where you choose to find them.

We say that it means just what it says:  that temporal marriages (i.e. "to death do you part" civil arrangements) are just that:  temporal.  They do not extend into the eternities, and those who marry outside of God's covenant will not have the ability to have eternal marriages in heaven.\n\nSee additional LDS scripture on the topic:\n\nDoctrine & Covenants 132:15-17\n15 Therefore, if a man marry him a wife in the world, and he marry her not by me nor by my word, and he covenant with her so long as he is in the world and she with him, their covenant and marriage are not of force when they are dead, and when they are out of the world; therefore, they are not bound by any law when they are out of the world. \n  16 Therefore, when they are out of the world they neither marry nor are given in marriage; but are appointed angels in heaven, which angels are ministering servants, to minister for those who are worthy of a far more, and an exceeding, and an eternal weight of glory. \n  17 For these angels did not abide my law; therefore, they cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly, without exaltation, in their saved condition, to all eternity; and from henceforth are not gods, but are angels of God forever and ever.

I don't quite get your question right. Any way, they are different things that you are talking about.\n\nAdam and mankind was created to have eternal relationship and communion with God but Adam blew it by his wrong choice. He listened to the enemy rather than his friend and disobeyed the simple command. He not only lost it but also transferred the loss to the posterity. But God still made a provision through the death of Jesus Christ. Those who put their trust in Jesus will be restored to the original position.\n\nRegarding time and times there are different expressions in the Biblical language. You cannot apply the same rule everywhere because it depends a lot on the context.

No not at all. If you are in love and both are willing to obey God's words. There are no big deals that can ever go or work against that. Have faith that the Lord will guide and protect you. Pray for each other and the best of all pray together for the love of God to be the center of your love to each other.\n\nGod bless you!

No, as the dictionary says.  But why draw a line?  Fidelity is a moral issue. As I recall some part of one's marriage vow says something about forsaking all others.  Perhaps the following will provide relief from one's concscience. \n\nForsake (v) To renounce; to reject; to refuse. \n\nadultery (n.) Voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a partner other than the lawful spouse.

The passage that describes how giving should be done under the New Covenant of grace is as follows:\n\n"But I say this, He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. Each one, as he purposes in his heart, let him give; not of grief, or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that in everything, always having all self-sufficiency, you may abound to every good work; As it is written, "He scattered; he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever." Now He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for eating, may He supply and multiply your seed, and increase the fruits of your righteousness you being enriched in everything to all generosity, which works out thanksgiving to God through us. \n(2 Corinthians 9:6-11)\n\nGod loves a "cheerful" giver, not a person who gives grudgingly. Many Christians feel that a tithe is too little to give back to the Kingdom work of Christ when they consider how much He has done for them.\n\nGod doesn't want or need your money if you don't give it in faith that He will honor you by supplying all of your needs in return.\n\n"But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. \n(Philippians 4:19)\n\n"Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed? For the nations seek after all these things. For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. \n(Matthew 6:31-33)

Debt, Mortgage, and the Law Merchant\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n\nEcclesiasticus 21:8 (Septuagint - Apocrypha), "He that buildeth his house with other men's money is like one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb of his burial." \nWhat is the meaning and origin of the word mortgage? The term mortgage comes from mort and means "death" (as in mortuary or mortality), and gage means "pledge." Mort-gage means a "dead pledge." In Bouvier's Law Dictionary of 1856, Dead-Pledge is defined as "a mortgage of lands or goods." It's a pledge of death because its an engagement in debt, which is a neglect or violation of our duty; we're not supposed to engage in those things. This is why we're not to owe man anything: \n\n\nRomans 13:8, "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another:" \nThere is no love when one neglects or violates the Law of God. The definition from Bouvier's is a full disclosure that one is walking in bondage and death when engaged in mortgages and debt. \n\n\nNehemiah 5:3-5, "…We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses…We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards…and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards." \n\nThis article will explain how debt brings into captivity he who engages in it.\n\n\nProverbs 22:7, "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."\n2 Kings 4:1, "Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen." \n\nWhen one enter into debt, who is he a servant to? He is a servant to the merchants of the earth, because their law, the Law Merchant, has full jurisdiction over debt within their system. Between brothers there's not really any debt, because we give and expect nothing in return, for "it is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). But when we're dealing with the natural man and we go in debt with the world, we're entering into a private law, which is known as the lex mercatoria (Law Merchant). \n\n\nPrivate law, not God's Law\nThis quote is from Stone, Smith, Frank and Rommage, a book called Fundamentals of Business Law, from 1950. \n\n\n“The merchants of the Italian city states and of the cities that were members of the Hensiatic League rejuvenated general European trade in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, following its almost total abandonment after the fall of Rome. These traders took precepts from the ancient law of the Romans Empire, adapted them to their times, and created customs of trade and ways of doing business that became accepted among the merchants of all Europe. And hence, this body of business, or commercial law, obtained the name Law Merchant. The law of agencies, sales, negotiable instruments, insurance, carriage, debt, guarantees, soffage and transit, liens, partnership and bankruptcy, was made by these traveling, international private merchants.” \nIn other words, the whole debt system that's set up today, when one enters into it, one is entering into that private law of those private merchants, and that's who they become a servant to. \n\n\n\n\nWhy Mortgages are Ungodly\nThe idea of paying interest on anything that is loaned to you is foreign to the Word of God, because interest (usury) is condemned by God (Exodus 22:25-27, Leviticus 25:36-37; 23:19-20, Nehemiah 5:7,10-11, Psalms 15:5, Proverbs 28:8, Isaiah 24:1-3, Ezekiel 18:8,13; 22:12-13). So, when one pays those usury fees (interest) they are part

A covenant is an irrevocable contract.  That one partner in a covenant abrogates its terms, by no means nullifies it, but rather subjects that party to the penalties stated in any such covenant.  God is faithful and keeps up His part of every convenant.  Man, on the other hand, is not so and has suffered the consequences since day 6.

We traditionally translate shalom as "peace".  This is often a good translation, and may well be the best simple way to render to word used all by itself as a greeting.  ("May you be well/whole" might also be suitable, but are rather awkward.)  \n\nBut since words in two different languages seldom mean exactly the same thing in ALL their uses, "peace" is not the best way to render it in EVERY situation.\n\nThe word actually refers to various sorts of "wholeness" from good health, to good circumstances, to inner tranquility.  When referring to relationships, for instance, the emphasis is on "peace" (for that describes relationships that are 'whole').\n\nFor an overveiw of the emphasis of the word in OTHER contexts, here is a list of the 'range' the word has in biblical Hebrew:\n\n=completeness, soundness, welfare, peace\na) completeness (in number)\nb) safety, soundness (in body)\nc) welfare, health, prosperity\nd) peace, quiet, tranquillity, contentment\ne) peace, friendship\n(1) of human relationships\n(2) with God especially in covenant relationship\nf) peace (from war)\ng) peace (as adjective)

It's pretty obvious what God means when He says that it is a detestable thing for a man to lie with another man as a man lies with a woman.\n\nIt is made even more so obvious when you look at 1 Corinthians 6:9.\n\n"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders..."\n\nMade even more obvious in Romans 1:26-27 - "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."\n\nTranslators often use the oldest and most reliable Hebrew manuscripts to write their Bibles. The only differences among the versions are in that of wording, but the collective meaning is not lost (slightly altered, maybe). For instance, in Genesis, the word "yom" is used for "day" in the 24 hours sense, so we can apply that to Genesis 1, which uses "yom" and thus the days of creation took six literal days.\n\nAre you indeed even AWARE what those verses are talking about, or are you just blindly holding to the homosexual's argument that those verses don't really refer to such things, because you sure don't give any substantiation to back up your claims. Your case does not have a point to begin with, because you are just spouting hot water.\n\nAs Paul said in Romans 7:7-8, "What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet." But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead."\n\nThe law (Exodus, Lev., and Deut.) reveals sin for what it is.\n\nMay you find peace from Christ.
