“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.
