Is this a good thing?

Why would you think that it wouldn't be?

Hint: Check out the word used there for earth (gē).  :D

Hello Chrissie

G1093
γῆ
gē
ghay
Contracted from a primary word; soil; by extension a region, or the solid part or the whole of the terrene globe (including the occupants in each application): - country, earth (-ly), ground, land, world.


Why would anyone want to inherit soil, ground, or the world when we are trying to come out of it?  I guess I am missing the spiritual aspect of this.
The poor seem to be blessed with the kingdom of heaven which seems a much better alternative.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi feat!

Sorry, bad hint.  :oops:

Think of it more in terms of 'land' maybe?? Like entering into the promised land??

I was thinking of something else, too.. but when I went to go gather some more verses for it, I found that it might not 'stand up' very well.... so just ignore me.  :roll:  :lol:  :lol:
