You only have one really important thing to decide
Jesus , yes or no.


Why worry?

In this life there are only two things to worry about.
Either you will be rich or poor.

If you are rich, there is nothing to worry about.
But if you are poor, there are only two things to worry about.

Either you will be healthy or sick.
If you are healthy, there is nothing to worry about.

But if you are sick, there are two things to worry about.
Either you will live or you will die.

If you live, there is nothing to worry about.
If you die there are only two things to worry about.

You will either go to heaven or to hell.
If you go to heaven, there will be nothing to worry about.

If you go to hell, you'll be so darn busy shaking hands with all your friends,
You won't have time to worry!

SO WHY WORRY?

Says Jesus,

"Verily I say unto you, it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a tentmaker's needle"


Is Jesus right?

This is life in a nut shell, I am by no means a person that has money, I scrap for every thing I have and get and need, I have to memorize this and keep it, so I can draw courage and strengths when thing don’t go my way. Thank you

He's right.
The reason is that those who have an abundance of material comforts are prone to feel that they don't need any help from God.


Matthew

20The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

21Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.


Proverbs 28:27
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.


Matthew 5:
19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.


Psalm 37:16
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

KJV

Im sorry, Jesus is not the ONLY answer. Look outside of the box. Be mindful of your words.

Making a god to suit yourself is called “idolatry,” and it is a transgression of both the First and Second Commandments.

“The First Commandment says,
'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

That proves He isn't the only God!”

That's true. Man has always made false gods. An old adage says, “God created man in His own image, and man has been returning the favor ever since.” Hindus have millions of gods. Sometimes gods are made of wood or stone; other times man makes up a god in his mind. Whatever the case, making a god to suit yourself is called “idolatry,” and it is a transgression of both the First and Second Commandments. "



This taken from a christian website. And:


... we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
1 Corinthians 8:4-6 (NKJV)


You contradict your own holy book?!

The scripture cited explains it. There is only one true God. He never said he was the only god, what he said was that he is the only true God. When the commandment tells us not to worship gods, it is referring to these false gods, such as Dagon, bezebub, Jupiter, Odin, and so forth which are worshiped via idols.



Psalm 115

2Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.



Leviticus 26:1
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

Im gonna go with worshiping Jesus as God idolatry.

Worshipping an idol that represents a false God is idolatry - hence, IDOL-atry.
