Malachi 3:15 says from now on we can say blessed are the arrogant who through their evil work get rich, Mark 7 tells the story of the gentile woman who asked Jesus to heal her daughter and he tells her, ""why give food to the dogs when there are children who need food?"" further stating he would like to first help is own family the Jews, and she responds by saying, but even the dogs are fed the scraps off of the table. Mark 10 says that to follow Jesus and be awarded the gift of eternal life in heaven a person who has possessions and a home or property must sell all they have and give it to the poor. Mathew 7:7 says that all who ask will receive and they will receive what they request in prayer, and elsewhere in that same book of Mathew Jesus instructs that the lord is my Shepard and I shall not want...then there are the ten commandments that discuss lying cheating and stealing, as well as Mathew saying that man's law will be the same in heaven as it is here on earth. Since God has refused to answer my prayer request for money and to leave here right now and live in a big home on the beach with an in ground pool, then all I can say is he has ignored my needs, wants and prayers or could not answer them. Jesus' faith was only tested for forty days not eight years.
