“money is the creation of the best power within you”
I find this quite gross actually.
Discussion
People who find a statement like that gross are generally the type willing to do work that on some level is contributing to something very wrong.
People who produce good & services that are actually good for others tend to see money as a beautiful thing.
Well thats not the case for me if your implying it is. Money is not the best power within me. That would be God and his Spirit!
Honest money is literally the tool we need to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth.
He will send you a boat, but you have to be smart enough to recognize it & get on.
“Honest money is literally the tool we need to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth.”
Pure blasphemy.
I really don’t want to argue but I have to call it like I see it. I hope you don’t feel any disrespect friend. 🙏💜
A disappointing but common response... I'm always a blasphemer or just "not a Christian" according to a whole bunch of people who seem to think they are, but no one ever seems to be able to make a decent argument 😐
My friend, I think what you said is blasphemy but I do not think of you as “not a Christian’.
As for argument, i think the other passages of scripture can serve as an argument against your point. Do you disagree with the scripture passages i shared?
I think it is correct to guard oneself against empty or meaningless pursuits, which might be afforded by someone with money. I think the divide between good & evil is in the prioritization of the pursuit of what is true vs the prioritization of status & power. I think that is what a lot of the Bible is trying to illustrate in one form or another.
Money is not the real problem. Seeking status at the expense of what is good or true is the problem. That applies to politicians & bureaucrats who lie to get ahead, as well as the person who just keeps their head down & goes along with what is wrong to keep their job, because doing what is right might cost them their current social standing or their nice comfortable life.
I think it’s meant that money is a creation from the best of humanity. I mean do you find the statement gross if you read on the rest of the sentence.
Money is ONLY controversial because of how distorted it is today. It’s created without the labor and production that should be how money is earned (not just as a 9-5 worker but anyone who does anything productive in society).
It’s just optionality because we don’t know the future as human beings. It’s the product of busting our asses as a storage unit.
As for the original post. Cantillionaires aside anyone who wants to be productive and make more money is fine by me. It’s made without coercion and they have the option of what to do with it…better than some government parasite confiscating money (no one ever says the government who collects TRILLIONS has too much money!) saying what it should be used for then failing.
