None at All

The Words of 
Jesus the Christ, 
the Son of God:

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.-Matthew 6:24-34***Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Judah was the 4th son born to Jacob (Israel) and Leah. Jacob was the youngest fraternal twin son born to Isaac and Rebekah. Leah was the oldest daughter born to Laban the Syrian, Rebekah's brother. Isaac was the only child born to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai). Laban and Rebekah were born to Bethuel the Syrian. Bethuel was born to Abraham and Sarah's brother Nahor. Abraham, Sarah and Nahor were born to Terah. Terah was the great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Arphaxad. Arphaxad was born to Shem. Shem was born to Noah the ark builder. Noah was the great-grandson of Enoch. Enoch was the great-great-great-grandson of Seth. Seth was born to Adam and Eve. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God created Adam, the 1st man. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Adam's wife Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. Over 800 years after Judah was born to Jacob and Leah, David was born into the tribe of Judah. When David was 30 years old, he began to reign only over the tribe of Judah in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. When David was 37 1/2 years old, he became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites. David was a warrior and fought battles against enemies before and after he began to reign. Solomon never fought in a battle, and during Solomon's reign, no enemy nations attacked the Israelites. David was a shepherd, musician and psalmist. Before reigning as king, David killed a lion, and a bear, and lived in a cave, and in the wilderness, and among the Philistines. Solomon was born after David began reigning over all of the Israelites, and had established the City of David, and was living in a royal residence built for him by King Hiram of Tyre. David acquired wealth by seizing the gold, silver and other valuables from defeated foes and by receiving payments from defeated kingdoms. Solomon became ruler of the wealthy kingdom left by David, and Solomon's wealth grew to an unparalleled level, according to the will of the Lord God. Various nations paid fees and sent payments to Solomon. Gentiles, people not born into the Israelite tribes, brought Solomon silver, gold, and a multitude of other valuables. The queen of Sheba presented Solomon with spices, gems, and approximately 4 tons of gold. Moreover, the queen of Sheba spoke of the manner wherein those under Solomon's direct authority were dressed. Jesus was not born into a wealthy family. When Mary was with Jesus and Joseph in Jerusalem to present her offering 40 days after Jesus was born, according to the law that the Lord God gave Moses for the Israelites, 2 birds were the sacrifices Mary offered. When Jesus began to preach, teach, and perform miracles among the Israelites, Jesus did not live in a home of his own.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-11:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles 1:1-9:31, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
