Is it a sin to read business books at night?
Miguel A asked:
It may seem irrelavent at first but I am justified when I ask. John9:4 ” I must work the works of him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.” Does this mean I am sinning by reading a business book at night when Jesus hisselve said no one is to work at night.

noooo….but whatever.
No. Shut up.
And who the hell is Jesus?
No I don’t think so. It might have been something from back then. I’m sure it isn’t sinning. Positive. Go ask your pastor.
I imagine that no one could work back then since they didn’t have electricity or whatever.
I believe that was a reference Jesus made to his coming crucifixion, it is a reference to the fact that his death is imminent and that he must do all he can to pass on his teachings while he can instead of wasting his life persuing earthly things that would not benefit his work for mankind. This is a somewhat supported by the fact that the day was commonly the time which represented life and night was the time that represented death; it’s definately not a sin to read at night.
Make your money or at least learn how to.
Oh, come off it! They didn’t have light bulbs during Jesus’ time.
Most of the work was farming, fishing. etc. Most of this work couldn’t be done at night, especially where wild animals would come out at night.
Actually, I remember Peter saying at one time that he had been fishing all night. Proverbs 31 talks about a woman who works far into the night.
Don’t take everything so superliterally. Use your head!
no…you are taking this passage out of context! Geeezzz……
Holy sh*t. Do you really not understand that that verse is talking about life and death, not literal day and night?
There was a reason the Catholic Church kept the Gospels in Latin…
that is not in reference to not be allowed but a time when we will not have the time or be able to work.
No. Stop taking everything so literally. You can work at night. It is always right to do that which is good. Unless your reading about how to cheat people out of their money, or some other scheme, it’s fine to read business books. Just remember to read your Bible, too which it seems like you’re doing.
No, not if you use the business books for a quick way to fall asleep. Anyway that is not one of the ten commandments, hence not a sin.
I’m pretty sure it’s not a sin….
No. Don’t be silly.
stop reading passages and read the book
here maybe this web site will help you. It is talking about how the Pharisees said it was illegal to heal people on the sabbath…not working at night. It explains it better than i do
also i kinda think it is talking about how jesus needed to spead the word as much as he could during the “day” because the “night” or the time was coming when he would no longer be there to do the “work” of the father.
no, if you want a reason, just note there was no electricity then! Of course it may depend on WHAT you are reading…..!
Absolutely not. It’s only a sin to read Biology books at night.
no. read them, make a mint in the stock market and use the powerful blessing of wealth for the good of others and yourself.
you are mixing spiritual wisdom with natural means of understanding.
JESUS is the LIGHT that came into the world right?
WHEN JESUS come again..to take the “BRIDE” yeah..your a bride.yeet a man..LOL.
tell you more in a sec.
who is the bringer of darkness? satan
‘who is the bringer of LIGHT(life).>JESUS is.
NOw.
THEY are spiritual god.
YET>.as you know..when we shine a light in a dark room
darkness disappeared right?
we who are BORN AGAIN..has the LIGHT of GOD in us.
we are the light of the WORLD
and when the LIGHT(S) is taken out.
full gross darkness..will cover this earth.
where.it’s probably be a struggle to WORK!
due to shortage of PEOPLE!..who disappeared!
SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD (light)
and His righteousness(born again)
then all these earthly things..YOU/we need.
will be added to YOU.
GOD’s business operate OPPOSITE of satan earthly kingdom.
GOD said..you want WEALTH?
listen to me..and I will tell you>>WHEN TO GIVE
and more will be added to YOU..pressed down.
shaken together..RUNNING OVER>.shall men (obey GOD) gives $$$$ or things..back to YOU!
NOW satan way of business..lie, cheat..decieved..rob..or WORK your a$$ off..worry about.life..and time..and smartines.s.and so forth..on and on.
depend on YOU>.as your own sAVIOR.
vs depend on GOD..as y our SAVIOR
HE whohas an ear
let him hear
the holy spirit.
INVEST in ministries who are TEACHING prosperity.
and mixed the truth of this.with your business learning.
there lotsof ministries making $$$ by TRUST/faith in GOD.
vs faith in SELF.
self can’t be great..without knowledge and understanding and wisdom..put to work.
So..if you had knowledge of Deut.28:1-14
and others of new testament..mal.3 also.
therre lots of crisscrossing int eh bible..to help BUILD your gross worth.
but I tell you.
there are two spiritual forces
the world is rule by satan forces.
the LOVE of MONEY..is the roots/FOUNDATION
of ALL EVIL.
money is NOT EVIL
but the LOVING MONEY IS.
MONEY to some..is god.
the twin towars in a sort..symbolize $$$ does it?
(my opinion).
but i believe that why that religion over there strike the $$$ TOWERS.
anyway.NO.it is NOT SIN.
yet ..as you read the book of PROVERB
it can MAKE Y OU SMARTER
spiritually.
so if you get smarter spiritually
things of earthly matter are easy to understand..quickly
HOW?
because the spirit of WISDOM..eph 1.
is all yours..by ADKING and believing HE will help you.
get smarter.
HE want you smart about HIS WAYS too.
so spend time with HIM..in the early morning
as well cooling down the brain..and reading someting of the new testaments.
ONLY read the new testaments..FIRST.
its is the lifestyle ot LIVE NOW.
old testaments are history..for reference at this time.
your busy with schooling..i am assuming.
so new testaments help build your inner man to have..peace.
where ther eis PEACE..it’s quicker learning.
proverb is great book..check it out..read one or 3 chapter a day..and start all over again..read one or 3 chapter a day…it is the consistancy that make us smarter..not once a week.like sunday church. man can not live by bread alone..but LIVE by the words that come out of the mouth of GOD..(spiritual vs natural words).
it was harder to work back then ,lamp oil was hard to come by not imposible but hard,, it was dim and nessesary for other tasks ,, at least where jesus lived darkness was realy dark unless the moon was out ,,, thats all he was saying.. word for word is always nice but if you remember a scripture incorectly jesus won’t give you a bad grade.. do your best and god will pass you … he’s pretty easy to please….
