Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul. (common bit that lyric)

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Luke 18:25)

For we walk by faith, not by sight.' II Corinthians 5:7

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Thats my savior :wow:

The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. :mindblown:

Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. Love others as well as you love yourself. - Demonic posts show how little you love yourself, friends.

If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.(Gospel of St. Thomas) :mindblown:

Friends, quotes from Apocryphal books may cause confusion to those new to the word. As many are still under debate and others proven false.

The context of this quote is that a man came up to Jesus and asked "good teacher, what must I do to earn eternal life" he told the man to keep the 10 commandments to which the man responded he had since birth. Then Jesus told him "then sell everything you have and follow me" the man walked away very sad because he was wealthy and couldn't bring himself to do it.

The quote is a parable. It means 2 things: 1. Jesus is questioning his motives on why he called him good. It wasn't him saying "don't call ME good, I'm not a good guy" he was saying you call me good but do you know what good is? 2. He's saying if you really think I'm good be prepared to submit to what I have to tell you

See the man thought living a righteous life was enough to enter heaven but when asked to give up all he had he couldn't do it. The quote is really a proclamation of Jesus divinity as the son of god, that the only way to god is through him

The deeper meaning is that we have to unlearn the adult behavior of earning what we receive. Eternal life is not something you earn by being "good" and righteous but rather a gift from god. an you receive this gift like a child from a parent.Jesus wants us to be more childlike depending on the father (god) to provide for us. In this mans case giving up the security of material wealth for gods security

Center self, inner self
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors
and "sinners."' But wisdom is proven right by her children.

I love that verse. Jesus spent time with those who were ostracized from Jewish society. Ppl took it the wrong way and judged him. He's basically saying those who have true wisdom are proven right in the end
