I'm not sure if I'm using the right word for 'what they did'---when they did
their story about "Wheel with Me" (a workout app for wheelchair users to gain more independence), but treated
that story as if it were totally separate from the life that Aaron Tredway
hopes you 'Don't Miss' (see the title of his book, offered through the bold
text below).
Granted, most of
their segment with Aaron
was about 'focusing on
Significance
rather than
Success'---with a Jesus-quote: "What will it profit a man if you gain the entire
world, but destroy your soul?" (possibly interpreted 'Success
isn't worth it if you don't enjoy the process of #Attaining it), implying that
one should 'Seek First the Kingdom of Our Father--of Righteousness--and Enjoy
Life.'

Their false implication is this: that "Faith" is all about 'knowing- and
saying that you can do something (usually attributing that power to Our
Heavenly Father, Our Anointed Brother, & The Authority of Their
Commission),' while 'actually
using that power (and showing its glory
to all who can see (including That Holy Trinity))' is possibly
"rebellion against Our Heavenly
Father."
'That kind of Faith' (the idea that it's all about 'doing nothing but thanking
God') is why I'm tempted to side with atheists when they point out how
obviously-wrong Christian preachers are who cite The Storybook as "proof"
against real-life evidence.
Luckily we have 'what I would say is the solid foundation upon which The Bible
is built to stand true':
James 2:14-26, regarding the insignificance of Faith if it doesn't bear fruit in
Works.
The word “Attaining” is built on ancient words that mean "to Touch- (Handle-, Attack-, Strike-, Appropriate- or Manage) To."
just like #Attainment #Attain #Attained #Attains #Attainments #Attainings
#Attainable
I would sum up that passage with its last verse, #James2Twentysix (tagging:
#James226, #JamesTwoTwentysix, #JamesTwo26):
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so Faith without works is dead also. (NKJV)
Lining that verse up with some other translations,
