Amen -- don't you just love to read the scriptures by the light of the Spirit. Silver and Gold have I none - RELIGION, indeed! Oh, I'm so glad to have you around, Paul.
True, the natural minded man looks at that scripture and sees a man begging for money from a man with none to give. Scripture is for our learning, what could be possibly learnt from the natural minded man's view upon that scripture. The beggars are still begging in this world because religion does not have anything to give them.
What is it that Jesus Christ gave us that he desires us to freely give?.
My peace I give unto you, is something he most certainly gave us. A Peace that comes from knowing we are not separated from God. Now to me that is something worth freely giving, especially considering it was freely given unto us.
You can preach the Gospel, but the peace comes from God, not you.

You cannot give what you do not have. If you only understood that we are becoming what we are. We bare the same image. I am the vine. Those who actually believe they are branches of the vine are not separated from that vine, those who believe in separation obviously are.
Camps waits patiently for the 3rd person of the trinity to show up.

Why do you use every opportunity to say something negative about other people?
Peace is a fruit of the Spirit, and it originates from God, not from me, and not from you. I have peace, given to me by Christ. I can pray for Christ to give it to others too, but since I am not Christ, I cannot personally give out what is Christs to give. Same with salvation. Christ saves, not me. I can preach the Gospel, and pray for people, but Christ does the saving. Do you understand this?

When Jesus said at Matthew 10 v 8 B that freely [ without charge ] you [ his disciples ] have received, freely give.
Jesus was stressing that there should be No charge for teaching about Jesus just as Jesus did not charge.
As a matter of Scripture, the only time Jesus had the ' plate passed ', so to speak, was when he fed the people with fish and bread.
Matthew 10 v 7 mentions as you go preach. They were to preach the same theme as Jesus preaching which was the kingdom of God is at hand.- Luke 4 v 43; Matthew 24 v 14.- Preach even though many would oppose their kingdom-preaching work. - Matthew 10 v 34- 39

Oh please, you are constantly saying the likes of me are denying what the bible says, give it a rest and grow up.

What do you think Paul, John and Peter were meaning when they said peace be unto you?, just saying it to sound nice, or did they actually believe in the power of what they were saying.
What about this verse.
and if indeed the house be worthy, let YOUR peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.
I take it this means you do not understand what I said.
No, I don't accept what you are saying, even though I know full well what you are saying. Hope you don't mind.
