IF YOU ARE CHASING AFTER REWARDS, YOU HAVE THE WRONG GOD❗️

What do you think of a child who says to their Daddy when asked to do something; "What are you gonna give me?"______________________Or a child that only comes around when they want something?_________Or a a person who is in a relationship or gets married, only for what they can get? ____________We are to be chasing relationship with GOD, not "rewards".______________Watch out for false prophets, they subtly led people astray.

**FIX YOUR *THOUGHTS* ON JESUS**!!
Hebrews 3:1: Therefore, holy brothers who share in the heavenly calling, **FIX YOUR THOUGHTS ON JESUS**!!
Hebrews 4:12,13: The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double edged sword... It judges the **THOUGHTS** and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. **EVERYTHING** is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account!
2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or **BAD**!
2 Corinthians 10:5: We take captive **EVERY THOUGHT** and make it obedient to Christ!!
Romans 13:14: Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and **DO NOT THINK** about how to satisfy the desires of the sinful nature!
Matthew 22:37,38: Jesus says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with **ALL YOUR MIND**!! This is the first and **GREATEST** commandment!!"
Colossians 3:2: Set your **MINDS ON THINGS ABOVE**, not on earthly things!
Romans 12:2: Be transformed by the **RENEWING OF YOUR MIND**. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--His good, pleasing and perfect will!!
Romans 8:5,6: Those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their **MINDS** set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the **MIND** controlled by the Spirit is life and peace!
Philippians 4:8,9: Finally, brothers, whatever is **TRUE**, whatever is **NOBLE**, whatever is **RIGHT**, whatever is **PURE**, whatever is **LOVELY**, whatever is **ADMIRABLE**,**THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS**... And the God of peace will be with you!!
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with His angels and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what they have done!"
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!

Col 2:18-19 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

Chuck,
I would suggest finding a pastor or men's group to sit down with and discuss what God's Word said. I'm sure you could even share some of your ideas with them. It's important to divide what is true from what is counterfeit.
Prov 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
2 Tim 2:15-16 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

TOTH,
Why? Most, like here are puffed up and ingrained with counterfeit knowledge. Try to go back to the Orginal Languages and context and they 💩 their pants. They really aren't Christians by definition, they are western reformed Pauliites.
They are so have been so misled, that they think the truth is heresy.
The reality is: only those who have REALLY studied Scripture and history understand what I am saying.

Chuck,
It's funny that you would even say that, because that's exactly what I did when I got out of the U.S. Army. Did my first year at a state school. then went to Bible college. I have a dual degree in the sciences. Almost finished a triple, but I was overloaded already, but could have with two more classes.
Some of what you say is accurate, and some has been...well...all over the place and mostly human reinterpretation.
The best way to recognize counterfeit is to know what something is authentically. When something differs is when you instantly raise a red flag.
Regardless, what I suggested to you is biblical, so for you to go off on a tangent over it is silly. The same exact words I said to you, apply equally to myself or anybody else. Study with others helps for accountability and what others can contribute is often different than what we may be able to contribute as we each have our own gifts.

TOTH,
You're just not hearing me.
For example, I can have a respectful discussion with KJOnly about king James onlyism, a flat earth and never once question her relationship with God.
But go back to and read the Bible in the context it was written and people say you're all over the place or as you've seen first hand, they call you Satanic.
(Btw, it is hard to believe you spent that much time in 'Bible School' and still believe in the doctrine of inerrancy)
