As a Christian I would always wonder how I could live as a faithful Christian in a system that stole through unjust taxation, only to use that money to fund war and death.
That was, until God led me to study #Bitcoin .
One way to not fund infinite wars is to not invest in bonds and treasuries. Buy #bitcoin .
Every dollar the flows into bitcoin is one the doesn't flow into war.
What a blessing to live in a time where we have this alternative financial network.
Starve the beast for the glory of God.
As servants of the Prince of Peace, let's do all we can to promote and bring peace. ✨️
The only legitimate "tax" is a tribute paid to the governing authorities for punishing evil and rewarding good. This is less like the taxes we pay today, and more like paying for the service of civil justice.
How the #Bitcoin rabbit hole helped me think more biblically about war....
Not that long ago I was a pro war normie. I was ready and willing to go overseas and fight the bad guys for freedom.
Then Covid happened, the orange pill was shoved down my throat and I preached Revelation.
All these factors drastically changed my outlook.
Covid made me realize the "enemy" was not overseas, he was much more close. The systems of government we have are frankly, demonic. My government hates Christ.
#Bitcoin helped me see the lifeblood of this demonic system was the money. The money is broken, immoral and funds all the villainy. Police arrested Pastors for having church in Canada during flu season. Police fined me and intimated my children for having church in the park. This was all possible because evil men control the monetary policy and can pay their thugs to infinity.
Preaching Revelation helped me see the conflict and wars of men are just the physical manifestation of Satan raging agaisnt humanity cause he knows his time is short.
Praise God, I can see more clearly. Now I can sympathize with the innocent civilians on both sides and offer them the hope of Christ with no prejudice.
The conflict of the nations is demonic rage manifesting in the physical. This is why you hear people say, "War is hell." Don't side with any devil, side with peace side with Christ.
The Gospel brings an end to war. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. #Bitcoin is a tool that severely limits nations ability to wage war.
Opt out!
From now on, I'm not saying "sales tax" or "property tax" in my day to day conversation. I'm saying, "sales theft" and "property theft".
Also I'll be referring to dollars "political currency units."
I'm not normalizing this abominable racket any longer. Help educate the masses.
#bitcoin together we can win.
I just finished a 7 month #sermon series on the entirety of the book of #Revelation. 🫡✝️Here are 7 tips to help you understand this often misunderstood book.
1. Get well acquainted with #Genesis, #Daniel (Especially chapter 7), #Exodus and the Temple vestments (#Menorah, priestly garments etc). Revelation is chalk full of imagery, allusions and hyperlinks to the Old Testament, especially those books. If you don't know your Old Testament, you will most likely misinterpret Revelation.
2. Discard your expectations and bias for how a message should be communicated. Revelation is not written like your average book. John often takes several images and allusions from different places in the Bible and mashes them together. He doesn't tell you when he does this, he just expects you to get the hint and understand the vision in light of those old Testament passages and images. The revelation doesn't care about your preferred literary methods, submit your bias to the text.
3. Study numbers and what they mean in Biblical history. There's a reason I've chosen to give you 7 tips for this tweet. 😉 Revelation uses numbers like 7, 10, 12, multiples of 12, and a few others to communicate important truths. The numbers are rarely literal, if ever. The book is broken into 4 sets of 7's. Understand the numbers have meaning, find the meaning by mining their usage in the #OldTestament especially.
4. Revelation is the story of history, especially of the time between Christ's resurrection and second coming, told through a spiritual lens. The book is broken into 5 sets of 7s, which build on, repeat and inform each other.
The 7 letters to the 7 churches
The 7 seals
The 7 trumpets
The 7 signs (this one is a bit harder to discern, but it's there)
The 7 bowls of God's wrath.
7 is the number of completeness. In these different iterations of 7, the completeness of God's purpose are revealed. If you read these as different chronological events, you will miss the entire point.
5. Revelation is a message of victory over Satan and his earthly manifestations. This book describes a series of divine victories cloaked in defeat. The insights concerning the working of the devil in history are priceless. The beast, the harlot of Babylon etc, all describe Satan's tactics during the church age. He works through governments, kingdoms, religions and economics. If you're a statist the revelation should offend you and expose you as, at best flirting with Satan, at worst worshipping him.
6. Satans kingdom (The beast) is a counterfeit of God's kingdom. The Mark of the Beast is a counterfeit of the Seal of God. The beast, the harlot and the false prophet are a counterfeit of the Trinity. The mortal wound of the beast being healed is a counterfeit of the resurrection. Etc. If you understand all the works of Satan as counterfeits, you will do well. These are the tactics of Satan throughout time, they repeat. There is not just 1 mark of the beast, but many. Be wise and discerning to see them when they come, or are staring you in the face already.
7. This is a book of hope, grace and strength. If you read it and your interpretation causes you despair, fear and weakness, YOU ARE MISINTERPRETING IT. Or..... you're lost and ought to fear. In which case repent and receive hope, grace and strength.
I have only scratched the surface of this book. 7 months to preach it all, and I feel like a noob still.
I hope these tips were a blessing and will be used of God to draw you closer to Him!!!!
BTW, kinda interesting that it took 7 months to preach it 😉🤫....
Jesus of Nazareth was the greatest economist of all time.
We don't often think of Jesus as an economist, but a deep dive into His teachings reveals Jesus understood human nature/behavior better than ANYONE EVER!
Thats what economics is, it's essentially the study of human behavior.
Many of Jesus' parables us monetary language to illustrate eternal truths about God's Kingdom.
Jesus knew that the behavior of humans in relation to money, labor and value was more than just physical work. It goes to the core of who we are as God's Imagers.
This is why He says things like, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls...." (Matthew 13:45) Because we have all been designed to seek out and attain things of value.
That internal need to acquire wealth and preserve value is pointing us heavenward. Why? Because earthly value is just the shadow of the one who CREATED all value.
In our modern times you could say, "The Kingdom of heaven is like a man seeking a #Bitcoin, and when he finds it, he sells all he has and buys it."
The Kingdom of God is like the BASIC principles of economics. Human behavior in light of scarcity. Its finding the most scarce and precious asset before anyone knows it the the most scarce and precious asset, selling all that is inferior, buying it, hodling it and never selling it!
Think about that! That is what the Kingdom is like! It's realizing that Christ is that precious, scarce asset, then selling everything, and hodling Him for ever!!!
Just like many don't realize the scarcity and value of #Bitcoin, many also can't see the scarcity and value of Jesus' salvation. It was His blood He shed. ONLY His blood could save us, the blood of the Son of God is very scarce. But His blood is of such value that it can save all who come to Him in faith.
The most scarce and valuable asset ever, the blood of the Lamb! It is precious.
Sell fiat and get #Bitcoin! Good trade deal. Give an ever inflating currency for a currency with a final supply.
Sell your sin and acquire eternal life in Christ! The Gospel is the greatest trade deal in the history of trade deals. Jesus gets my sin, I get His perfection.
What a deal, thank you Jesus!
The Bible and #Bitcoin is now available in hardcover!!!
If hardcover is your thing, head over to Amazon and get yourself a sturdy book!
I have been in fitness circles before and I've seen how "health" can be just a big of an idol as wealth.
But the comment on fasting is interesting. Is there a wealth fast? What does that look like?
We pray that our family, friends and church would be healthy. Should we also pray that they would be wealthy as well?
3 John 1:2
I pray that you may be healthy in body and prosper in your finances, even as your soul prospers in Christ.
Is this an inappropriate prayer? What do you think?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, abortion is peak fiat, high time preference degeneracy.
Just look at this tweet from #NaziCanada Justin Trudeau. "#InternationalSafeAbortionDay"
Abortion is the ending of a life, the babies. Just like the Nazis #TrudeauLovesNazis loves to praise, he has dehumanized a segment of the population and is on a crusade to ruthlessly kill as many of these undesirables as possible.
A vital element of being made in God's image is to "be fruitful and multiply." Having children is a low time preference, investment in the future. Abortion is a high time preference, kill the future to save the perceived comforts of today, practice in supreme degeneracy.
Fiat money incentives baby murder. Imagine the idiocy of murdering your baby so you can go to college, get a degree, to work for a soul sucking woke corporation to make a salary that won't even pay your rent???
You people murder your child, so you can eat pop tarts and live in a bachelor apartment you can't even afford. You've been lied too....
I hear it from people all the time, "I can't afford a baby." So they murder the child. Why? Because tyrants like Maple Syrup Nazi Trudeau and his bankster thugs debase your money to fund their woke BS.
Reject this fiat degeneracy. Have kids, and stand against this grievous injustice.
Repent, opt out of sin, opt into Christ.

Fiat money is the elephant in the room of Christian ethics. 🐘
For years I didn't even consider that our fiat monetary system was a serious ethical problem. It was just money and the love of money is the root of all evil so whats the use in digging any deeper?
But once you see it, you can't unsee it. The money is a scam. Its manipulated, inflated and fundamentally a dishonest ponzi scheme.
But worse than all that, it is a sophisticated trap of enslavement.
You ever wonder why they don't teach monetary policy in school? Because the schools are a tool of the fiat machine. They teach you to be a cog in the machine, not to understand how the machine is harvesting your time and energy to enrich the operators at the top.
Go to school, get in crippling debt, get a degree, work a job, invest in a 401k, hope it beats inflation and die.
Everyday we work for a money that other people can just print. This is theft.
As a Christian how can we sit back while our wealth and the wealth of our neighbors is stolen from them? We can't. We must address the fiat elephant with the truth of God's word.
A just balance and scales are the Lord’s; all the weights in the bag are his work.

Late stage fiat religion is shocked and appalled that MOST people STILL believe in only 2 genders! 😱
This headline personifies the heart of man's carnal fiat. Only God can create real value through fiat.
Your gender was decreed by divine fiat, it's already done. You cannot create more than the 2, or change your gender.
Carnal fiat is as ancient as the serpent. This is essentially man saying, "I am God, I decree what is real and right in my life." Or, "You can be like God, knowing good and evil..."
When the unit of account we use to measure value is disconnected from reality, from sowing and reaping, it bleeds into the psyche of the populace.
There's only 2 options, either we live by divine fiat and embrace reality, or we live by carnal fiat, where the rules are made up and the points don't matter.
Oh wow, that sounds super interesting. Email me a copy. Christianbitcoinguide@gmail.com
Just a reminder that fiat money is a ponzi scheme forced upon you by threat of violence by a cartel of bureaucrats who want to subtly enslave you.
They create the money.
They use the money to build big cages and pay guys with guns to put you in the cages to enforce the legitimacy of their scam.
They create more money devaluing the money you worked for.
While the money is being devalued, they tax the money you work for at higher and higher rates.
They also tax your fuel, your home, your capital gains and your purchases denominated in the money they created ex nihilo.
Every 4 years we go to the polls to vote for a new Chief Ponzi Officer who promises to run a more efficient Ponzi and give all the slaves everything we want and need.
🎡 Around and around we go....

The Fiat monetary network is run on violence. #Bitcoin is run on energy. Which way Christian man?
Romans 13:3, government function, "taxation" and the limitation clause we all forget.
"For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval,"
Rulers are supposed to be a terror to BAD conduct, not to good. When governing authorities become tyrannical, it is our duty to defy them and obey God.
Romans 13 tells us to pay taxes to the authorities who are ministers of God who are "attending to this very thing." What thing? Being a terror to bad conduct.
He tells us to pay taxes to whom taxes are OWED. Owed, being the key word. The word taxes is the Greek "Phoros" and has the sense, "Tribute - payment from one nation to another for protection and as an acknowledgement of submission."
This tax is to be paid to the authorities for their legitimate service of punishing bad conduct and rewarding good. It is not an arbitrary payment extracted from the populace to make government fatter. It is owed for services rendered. And a specific service, ADMINISTERING JUSTICE.
Thats it. Government has no biblical precedent to steal your wealth for any reason. Not to build infrastructure, not for health care, not for welfare, not for anything.
They are to be paid tribute because they are owed for administering God's justice with the sword God gave them. This is their legitimately ordained function, and paying them to do this function is not theft because you are paying for services rendered, services GOD ordained them to perform.
This is not to say we should withhold taxes from our governments who have clearly stepped outside their ordained role. We should, but as we do, we need to expose that it is theft and wrong and that they need to get back in their ordained lane. It is the churches job to disciple the nations and teach government where their legitimate authority ends.
Not rebuking them for stealing wealth from the people to fund things that are outside their sphere of influence is unloving.
No where in the bible does the government get authority to, tax your land, tax your income, tax your energy, tax your death or tax your food. Their only legitimate area where you owe them payment is for administering righteous justice and punishment of evil in service to God.
Remember the limitation clause. Paul here is not praising the wicked pagan Roman Empire, he is laying out the TRUE function of government how God intended it. He is also exhorting Christians to live as good citizens even in a wicked system while the Gospel goes forth and transforms hearts.
