FALSE TEACHINGS AND TRUE RICHES You must teach & preach these things. Whoever teaches a different doctrine & does not agree with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ & with the teachings of our religion is swollen with pride & knows nothing. He has an unhealthy desire to argue & quarrel about words, and this brings on jealousy, disputes, insults, evil suspicions & constant arguments from people whose minds do not function and who no longer have the truth. They think that religion is a way to become Rich. Well, religion does make a person very rich, if he is SATISFIED with what he has. What did we bring into the world ? NOTHING ! So then, if we have FOOD & CLOTHES, that should be enough for us. But those who want to get rich fall into TEMPTATION and are caught in the trap of many foolish and harmful desires, which pull them down to ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a source of all kinds of Evil. Some have wandered away from the FAITH and have broken their hearts with many sorrows. But you, man of God, avoid all these things. Strive for righteousness, and godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Run your best in the race of faith, and win eternal life for yourself; for it was to this life that God called you when you firmly professed your faith before many witnesses. Before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who firmly professed his faith before Pontius Pilate, I command you to obey your orders and keep them faithfully unti the day when our Lord Jesus Christ will appear. His appearing will be brought about at the right time by God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and the Lord Of lords. He alone is immortal; he lives in the light that no one can approach. No one has ever seen him; ni ine can ever see him. To him be honour and eternal dominion ! Amen. Command those who are rich in the things of this life not to be proud, but to place their hope, not in such an uncertain thing as riches, but in God, who generously gives us everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share with others. In this way they will store up for themselves a treasure which will be a solid foundation for the future. And then they will be able to win the life which is true life. My children keep safe what has been entrusted in your care. Avoid the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call Knowledge. For some have claimed to possess it, and as a result they have lost the way to Faith. May Gods grace be with you all my children.
