This is funny. Now you're boasting about your great finances? And living quarters?

Hopefully its ok that my 2 oldest children are homeschooled, and the oldest both ahead of schedule and working a job that allows her to always make it to church, to pay for her car. Hopefully its ok with these brothers that we adopted 2 more children, and that my wife stays at home, because she chooses to, I prefer it, and we are blesses to be able to afford it.

Sounds great!

And maybe its ok with these guys that we have late model cars. Yes they are financed, but Im not mechanically inclined, so I buy cars that are unlikely to break down. I also like to buy brand new when possible, so the wear and tear is what we did to it.

You got ripped off if you bought brand new unless it was maybe a Honda.

Of course they'd probably call me worldly if I drop the top on my 2016 Mustang, but I also keep it real by driving the kids around in the 2015 mini van or 2013 Mazda 3 hatchback. All evil, I know.

The evil is behind the wheel, in all actuality.

We take family vavations, Disney World,

You're financing the antichrist.

Sea World, Six Flags, sporting events, recently visited Kentucky and the replica ark and the creation museum. Also the louisville slugger museum and corvette museum.

Was the replica ark and creation museum good? I've heard about but haven't been able to see it.

We attend a good church,

Is it the Lord's church?

raise our children to know God provides all, and if He takes it all away we will still serve Him. He has blessed us, but all these things ate temporal and perishing. I have not accomplished anything with my own hand or intellect, it all comes from God. And I'm thankful for all His provision, if thats ok with yall.

Sounds great! One thing, though. Does your church teach you to be so venemous towards others while pretending to be holier than the rest of us paeons? Just wondering.

[good samaritan]

This thread has become so very personal to people. I could care less how much any of us are making. I am sure there are instances where a wife may work and everything works out ok. The kids grow up to be good upstanding citizens. The point I was making was about an ungodly culture and how many in the church let it dictate their lives.

If wives seek a career instead of a family that is their personal choice, but lets not pretend that they must. Another thing I wonder for working mothers is how it affects them in later years. How do Mothers feel when their children are gone and they realize that all the money in the world was not worth the time they could of had with their children. BTW, I am not aiming my comments at anyone personally.

One thing is for sure the biggest blessing in anyone's life outside of God is their family. People need to think twice before taking mom out of the home. I am sure that a mothers available love is worth more than any monetary annual income.

PS Happy Early Mother's Day.

Nah, just pointing out a few things, since y'all ripped Aquilla for making ends meet. Told him to have his wife quit her job and to move to the ghetto. Insinuated he wasn't a good Christian because his wife works. Specifically said he was living above his means, and even made a comment about adultery.


So I figured, hey if the moral police are out, may as well give them the evidence in case they want to issue a citation.

The bigger point is, everyone is different, and God blesses us who have little and have more. Its not a matter of material things, but rather if we can be content in whatever state we find ourselves. If we can trust God no matter what. I was dirt poor for a long time, had cars repossesed several times, had awful credit, had electricity and phones getting cut off, and on welfare.....and that was when I believed in tithing. I'm in a season if life where I'm blessed right now. I say a seaaon, because it could all change, and God may again see fit to show me how to be content while living in a motel, and working two jobs (stocking produce and delivering pizzas). I don't know, so I don't generally make such specific comments about what I've been blesses with, lest I entice God to chasten me.

PS-I enjoyed the ark for the size and many displays within, only drawback is there seems to be an unnecessary emphasis on dinosaurs. Still cool to visit. I liked the creation museum better. I was expecting cheesy and small. It was very done and professional. Only drawback again, a bit too much emphasis on dinosaurs.

Lol, if I want to ride on some plastic elephant or on Big Thunder Mountain, I doubt that's funding the antiChrist anymore than using google to search anything, buying a box of kelloggs ceral, nabisco cookies, a pepsi, or a Burger King Whopper, or for that matter paying taxes to a wicked God hating government who then uses those tax dollars to fund abortion, Islamic terrorism and regimes, and the Palestinian cause. Probably safe to say that if we use money at all, we are funding the antichrist.

Now, if the ole antichrist is Mickey Mouse himself, I will issue a retraction.

One last thing, my finances are not great, I'm just saying you don't have to live in the ghetto or in abject poverty to get by. Really having good credit and God blessing me in many ways (every way) has helped me. My household is 6 people, income doesn't even sniff 100k. Not even 75k. I have essentially no education (dropped out of HS, but did later return and finish, have a diploma thats it), and essentially no job skill, so I manage retail. I couldn't fix something to save my life. I can't even drive a trailer good enough to get a CDL. I didn't post what I did in anyway to look down on anyone, but just to push back on how aggressively y'all were coming at Aquilla.

PS-Aquilla your in the right on this one.....but your politics still stink. :heehee

I notice you have no problem with someone ripping mothers and wives, and playing the "I'm better than the knuckle dragging fundies" shtick. But hey, if you're gonna play, gotta play one side or the other, right?

Ill have to see about visiting that museum, before the progs force it to shut down for "bigoted intolerance" against quadriplegic homosexual eskimos or something.

Jason Badejo, if you are the model on how we ought to live? Then you are doing a very poor job. While attempting to show your rightness, you are doing the same as you accuse others. You have proved many times that you are mixed up. In theology, and now in YOUR arrogance. Yes, arrogance. You just hate the Apostolic movement so much you can't deal with it. And, yes, God is your witness and you hate me and anything I post opposite of your views and ideology. You defend Aquila calling our neighborhoods, ghettos? Beautiful Fort Lauderdale to you, but ghetto to Aquila? Didn't pick that up? Or that my wife leads a boring house wife's life? You defend that? Jason you defend that not because it's right or wrong. But because you can't stand what we represent.

[madras]

Lots of projecting. You are an ungodly man.

[Scott Pitta]

I thought we were discussing Deuteronomy 22 :5.

Looks like we are skirting the issue.

We should redress the issue at hand.
