Don't worry leave it to God

[brian100]

I had a conversation w/ my own sister many years ago about how you don't get anything in life unless God had gave it to you. She had told me 'no Brian-- you don't get anything in life unless you go out and get it!" I said to her, "no" you're wrong. And told her to do nothing and let God bring it to you! I then said if God takes your back then what will you do? That's what happened to her and many years now on State Disability. We no longer speak but I would have told her your health comes from God, too.

Here's the teaching that I had learned from Jesus

All you people need to listen to Jesus!

 

[atpollard]

He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have [something] to share with one who has need. [Ephesians 4:28 NASB]


Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you, nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we [kept] working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you; not because we do not have the right [to this,] but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example. For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies. Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread. But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary of doing good. [2 Thessalonians 3:6-13 NASB]

He says to let God handle it.. and it's true. God does everything for me.

I really don't know why you can't simply quote from scripture as it doesn't take very long and there is even an online bible at http://biblegateway.com available for easy searching, copy and pasting of scripture. The passage you are talking about is Matthew 6:25-34 and I will just point out one verse out of that set that completely refutes your point.

Here's Matthew 6:33

33 What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need.

Who says let God handle it? Pronouns really aren't useful unless it's clear who or what they refer to.

I suspect this is the bit where you go back to a movie rather than Scripture. If you're getting theology from movies you might as well choose a movie that lets you do whatever you want than a movie that tells you how to live as if you can earn anything eternal by doing it.

I tried letting God do everything for me and was roundly disappointed. God apparently couldn't even be bothered to lock the door for me. After a while I gave up and did it myself. Maybe things don't mean quite what they first appear to mean.

 

[brian100]

You have to let God handle all your needs or you will not get anything in life. God has handled mostly everything for me for a long time now.

What Jesus says is really true.

No, he said if you let God handle it then he will give you these free things.

God apparently couldn't even be bothered to lock the door for me. After a while I gave up and did it myself.

Wow your faith is nothing.

You might as well of said God couldn't stop you from dying when it's your turn.

Did you ever think God made you remember to lock the door?

Have you let God forgive you of your sins then since you claim you let him do everything?

But you said God would do everything for me. He clearly didn't. Reminding me to do something isn't the same as doing something - if it worked that way I could have had a really easy life at work. You know, the boss asks you to do something and instead of doing it you sit around doing nothing for an hour or two and then remind the boss he needs to do that thing he asked you to do an hour ago.

Funny you should mention dying in the context of my faith being nothing. Part of the reason I'm not worried about all this COVID silliness is that I know I'm going to die sooner or later and I know it's in God's hands. So, sorry to break it to you, but it looks like you've presented yet another argument that falls totally flat.

 

[brian100]

Right, God works thru you to get things done. Now you can hear what I'm saying.

I didn't have to figure out my Shroud of Turin thing b/c God had taken care of it with a postcard to me. Nobody can say I did all this by myself.

Shroud of Turin: Absolute proof the man in the Shroud is Jesus Christ

You can identify the man in the Shroud just with the Sacred Heart close up 1 close up 2 These images got on it when the nuns tossed water on it to put out the fire in the 1500's. Water stains. Shroud Image (negative image on Linen)

But that's not what you said. You said God does everything for you. Now you're saying God doesn't do everything for you but works through you. So unless you're trying to say that God actually locked my back door when I was the one who turned the key you're just mixing and matching and ending up with garbage. When I drove to town yesterday was it God who pressed the pedals to make the car move or was it me? I decided not to trust God to turn the steering wheel for me on a mountain descent because I've always found those descents to be far more successful if I do the driving.

 

[brian100]

I said if you leave it to God he will handle your needs.

You will not get anything from God thinking you had done it all.

When I was 18
One time I was in my garage saying oh my God my life sucks I have no idea what to do for a job??? Then my HS girlfriend walks in and I told her I'm a loser and she said her girlfriend at work just graduated X-ray school!! bingo I knew what I wanted to do. why? God said so ---& I would ---because his Shroud is like an X-ray.

Shroud of Jesus looks like an X-ray.

You leave it to God he tells you what you will be. I worked in X-ray for 18 years.

I follow Jesus man! Do you? So why did I want this? God told me what I am. I can post my credentials.

I'm saying God makes you who you are. At least he did for me? How wonderful to have a God who tells me everything to do! He knows what I need before I ask! How? he sees the future. He is the future=The Omega That's the faith in God brah! Or Bro! Or Brother!

Imagine being a blind people? Who goes over a cliff into a big dark hole?

Now why was I an X-ray Tech again? It wasn't something I chose? God made it something I had wanted! So don't tell me about unlocking your doors! God has the power to lock it.

Why do I know this stuff and can prove it?? B/c My God is God!

I'm proving the words of Christ is true!

Follow the words of Christ!!! And you will see he knows what you need. You need not to go looking for it. It comes to you? I met my beloved at that school====>in NV! Now why was I there? God arranges it.

But God made sure I was Catholic! I was born to it! Your first step is being Catholic!

Its almost like God made sure his son was taken care of? Why would anyone want to be anything else but Trad Catholic! I reduced my faith down to Jesus and Mary! Like her banner!

If you say I'm going to jump off a bridge and say God better save me you will be dead in no time unless... you were some Saint trying to get away from the enemy!

Saying I will smash my car..... 'to see if God helps'-- don't do that! That's tempting God.

I was only saying leave all your needs to God and watch him help!! But I don't know if he helps Prots yet. I do think Mother Mary helped my woman who wasn't Catholic. I had found proof of it! But my role is to save her! My love will save my beloved. . she's one flesh with me. Where I go===> she goes.

 

[tango]

Wow. I'm really rather impressed at how you weave something together and yet leave it so full of holes, while insisting it's solid.

If I can string your thoughts together it seems God speaks to you through a postcard and God speaks to you through some girl calling you a loser. But at the same time God apparently doesn't speak to you through Scripture, through his son, or through the prophets he sent. And while we're supposed to leave everything to God we're not supposed to trust God to, you know, actually do anything. But if we do something we didn't really do it, God did it through us.

If I don't lock my door because I trust God to do it, God won't do it. When I see the door is still unlocked and lock it, that's not me locking it but God using me to lock it. But if I decide to attempt the mountain descent with my hands off the wheel God won't actually steer the car.

Then for good measure you claim that proving anything about some random scraps of cloth proves the words of Jesus, even though Jesus didn't mention the cloth at all. So you're not only failing to prove the words of Jesus, you're not even exploring the words of Jesus. But some guy on Youtube said it so we can apparently forget the entirety of Scripture and all the things Jesus is actually recorded as having said, because some guy on Youtube posted a video on the same day some other guy mailed a postcard.

Seriously dude, throw this line of thinking in the trash and go back to Scripture. You're going round and round in circles, proving nothing and creating more and more distractions that do nothing other than stand between you and the truth. Click the red X and close Youtube, and open your Bible instead. Look to the risen Jesus, not the scraps of cloth that may or may not once have held his body. Look to the empty tomb rather than the rags.

He says to let God handle it.. and it's true. God does everything for me.

Interesting you identify Catholic with this type of dogma. "God does everything for me", along with other posts in this thread, suggest no effort is required by you, quite separate from performing good works often emphasized by those of the Catholic faith.

*Disclaimer - the term "the Catholic faith" as used by me is merely a figure of speech. I DO NOT intend to suggest that I view Catholics as outside the Christian faith, or somehow a separate faith group

 

[Bluezone777]

I honestly think the only reason he calls himself Catholic is because he attends a Catholic church. I hardly believe anything he shared here is something normally found taught in the Catholic church. I hardly call him a Christian either as I never heard of any Christian who makes a mission out of building a theological belief system that for some reason doesn't actually require sourcing anything from the Bible and even going out of his way to make theological points that are contradicted by passages from the Bible which he has done quite often here.
