What does this say about you fate?  I don't see how this applies.

Perhaps He might.

Ecclesiastes 5:14 states, "or wealth lost through some misfortune, so that when
he has a son there is nothing left for him."  

This is the place in Ecclesiastes where the Preacher is saying that riches are
not the best this that we have.

Jesus said to the Twelve AND others around him, "The secret of the kingdom of
God has been given to you."

Jesus also said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as
small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to
there' and it will move.  Nothing will be impossible for you."

John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

At least you got one verse partly correct.

What is that crap that you have written?  

John 4:21-24 says, "Jesus declared, 'Believe me, a time is coming when you will
worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.  You Samaritans
worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from
the Jews.  Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will
worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers
the Father seeks.  God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and
in truth.'"
 
It appears that you had no idea what you were talking about according to what
you say is John 4:21-24.

Cute.

No wonder you do not believe in it at all.  You quote nonsense.  You should
believe, for it is truth.
