James wrote: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights. . ." do you have even the vaguest idea what he is talking about?
In Ecclesiastes, Solomon wrote: ""that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man" and " Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God." Apparently, since God created everything he put emotion in man to appreciate feeling productive. That humankind feels emotion could be considered a gift of God. He also wrote: "Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God." If you accept that as it is translated God is responsible for the employed as well as the unemployed. If he is responsible for the good he is liable for the bad and therefore deserves praise and blame. I believe the bible disagrees with that.
God has set the world into motion and has told his followers how to function within the rules he has established.
The NT is replete with examples of what those first Christians prayed for and they are not what we pray for.
