You've got to deal with the way things are set up in this world.

Learn how to use money to your advantage.

Give 10 percent to God and throw in an offering, I chose 1 percent of my gross, which is definitely working for me now. I have absolutely no lack. I will be working a minimum of 70 hours this week. God is faithful to give us what we need.

If you think that's too many hours, your right, there's "not room enough" for me "to receive it". I need to hire someone to help me, and am in a position to do so or not. It's my choice how many hours I work now, not someone elses.

Luke 16: 9, 11
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon (money) of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
• • •
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon (money), who will commit to your trust the true riches?

Doctrine and Covenants 82: 22 (LDS scripture)
And now, verily I say unto you, and this is wisdom, make unto yourselves friends with the mammon (money) of unrighteousness, and they will not destroy you.

When people ask me how I can afford to tithe, I ask them how could I afford NOT to.

Altering the content of the Bible and changing words to make it more "reader friendly" does nto mean they put it in it's proper context, especially when you start doing that you start to see more contradictions within the bible itself.

I only accept the King James version of the Bible, and the Joseph Smith inspired version.

Hang on... let's look at the whole exchange (and this time the Joseph Smith Inspired Version alone, just to keep you happy) - Matt 4:6-7:

How does "tempt" even make sense in this situation? How would Jesus risking his life "tempt" God? To me, the implication would be that if Jesus were to throw himself from a height, that God would be tempted to dash Him on the ground below - this seems rather nasty.

Prove, is not the same as Tempt. Tempting is a Sin, Proving is different because the blessings ahve already been promised.

Satan did not tempt him with something that had been promised, he tried to tempt him with something that was not promised anwyhere.

I'm not sure what you mean by "prove". I never used the word in my post.

I'm having trouble trying to figure out what you're getting at... are you implying that during this exchange between Jesus and Satan, Jesus was referring to himself as "the Lord thy God"? I was under the impression that Mormons weren't Trinitarian, and that they didn't believe Jesus to be God.

Did anyone else pick up on the thread title?

And extremely simple formula which will INSUREextreme financial success

What exactly is there to insure against?

I understand you probably mean ensure, but I think it's funny how words can come out sometimes in ways that we don't mean...

I'm not sure if tithing is a requirement since we don't have a temple in the traditional sense (a building that is) but I think any investment in the Lord's work is a good thing.

I was referring to the post that FFH made about "Prove me herewith" which you were relating to tempt. they are two different things.

Satan told him that God would send his angels to catch him (simplified). Jesus was talkign about the Father. not himself.
