Warped concept of God 

Forum: Messageboard
Re: Ridiculous but God is good .... (Eternally Saved)
Date: 2001, Nov 07
From: John Doe 666 John666

Why are Singaporean Christians equating monetary recievings with God's blessings ???? God's blessings can come in the form of poverty, famine, loss of jobs..etc God is more interrested in moulding our character to be like Jesus than to give us food and money .....Do you not know that???? Your concept of God is 'a daddy who gives all your material blessings' I am saddned by this. Do you know that people in poorer places in asia, specially pastors, work for No pay??? Are they not blessed by God...?? They are blessed my friend..... Your narrow definition of God will change someday..... He is not a sugar daddy as you might think.....That is OUR warped concept of Him......
