Very appropriate quote from Matthew 7 for Gaetan:

Quote:

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

You are the hypocrite saying people who use money are evil while at the same time saying you work for money.

The Bible and Jesus doesn't condemn the use of money, but the "love of money" which creates various "evils".

Money in itself can't be evil or immoral. Money is usually paper or some precious metal which is just used as a means of exchange. Why can't you get that?

And yet you already know that I have no religion. Typical of you Trump religionists to hypocritically accuse other people of what you do. You use money, don't you?

Don't you agree that evil religion needs to be eradicated from the face of the earth since it turns peoples' brains to pudding?

Jesus says this: ESV Mt 10.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

5 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’[c] 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers,[d] cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay. 9 Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, 10 no bag for your journey, or two tunics[e] or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. 11 And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, greet it. 13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. 15 Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

RoboTimbo · 11th January 2019, 08:41 AM

So those were instructions just for the 12 apostles then, not for the world at large?

The world of money is the world of Satan according to Jésus Christ, that's the conclusion you have to make according to what he said.

No, that isn't the conclusion one makes from what was claimed he said. Why do you add your own weird religious interpretation to it? That's a Trump thing to do.

The conclusion that people without pudding brains make is that Jesus was for separation of church and state. Money is a state thing, not a church thing.

Trying to make money a church thing is evil, according to Jesus.

You've been wrong here for almost 10 years and you don't show any signs of shaking the dust off of your feet. If you believe your Jesus said to shake the dust off your feet, why haven't you?

Jesus said to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and to render unto god that which is god's. And yet you try to render unto the church that which is the state's.

You read the words of Jesus and then you do the opposite of what he wants. You are typical religious hypocrite.

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius[a] for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went.

“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’

7 “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.

“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’

8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’

9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’

13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money?

Gaetan, if Jesus opposed money, why does he tell a parable about someone working and receiving wages?

Joecool · 11th January 2019, 11:12 AM

The Parable of the Bags of Gold

14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’

21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’

23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’

26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.

28 “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Gaetan, someone who made a profit was rewarded in this parable. It says nothing about working for free.

You are still misunderstanding what you first quoted. He wasn't giving instructions for the world, but for his followers. His ingroup. He specifically excluded people already not in the cult.

Also, Jesus put the restrictions on his disciples of not charging for gifts he gave to his disciples. That is to say they shouldn't charge for work they, themselves are not doing. They have zero ability to raise the dead on their own merit. If they do manage to raise the dead, they have done zero work. Ergo, zero pay.

Threats of violence that you have no ability to carry out is not the best way to gain converts. Might as well threaten to turn me into a newt.

Gaetan, do you really understand what you are posting or just posting scriptures that fit your narrative?

Jesus says that yes, money can be a stumbling block for some. For example:

The Pharisees “who were lovers of money” (Luke 16:14)
The money changers in the temple (see Matt. 21:12-13)
Judas Iscariot (see Matt. 26:14-16; John 12:4-6)

But if Jesus saw money as some kind of plague, why then were some wealthy men considered as his disciples? Wouldn't Jesus have rejected them? But he didn't. Therefore we can assume that money has a place in his world.

In his life and ministry Jesus himself benefited from the wealth of others and even instructed his disciples in the use of material goods for their own spiritual pursuits (see Luke 22:35-36). Wealthy individuals — including Zacchaeus and Joseph of Arimathea — followed Jesus. Others — such as the Gerasene formerly demoniac — desired to leave all in order to follow Jesus, but was prohibited from doing so by Christ himself (see Mark 5:18-19).

Who said the left is God.? You are just making up stuff again. The left is not religious. They approve of abortion and gay marriage. I don't care but the left seems to approve of things that you oppose. You are of bad faith and you worship satanism.

You received without paying; give without pay. 9 Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, 10 no bag for your journey, or two tunics[e] or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. 11 And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, greet it. 13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. 15 Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

The world of money is the world of Satan according to Jésus Christ, that's the conclusion you have to make according to what he said.

No, that isn't the conclusion one makes from what was claimed he said. Why do you add your own weird religious interpretation to it? That's a Trump thing to do. The conclusion that people without pudding brains make is that Jesus was for separation of church and state. Money is a state thing, not a church thing. Trying to make money a church thing is evil, according to Jesus.

Gaetan is offline Report Post Quote this post in a PM You've been wrong here for almost 10 years and you don't show any signs of shaking the dust off of your feet. If you believe your Jesus said to shake the dust off your feet, why haven't you? Jesus said to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and to render unto god that which is god's. And yet you try to render unto the church that which is the state's. You read the words of Jesus and then you do the opposite of what he wants. You are typical religious hypocrite.

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard 20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius[a] for the day and sent them into his vineyard. 3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went. “He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ 7 “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. “He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’ 8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’ 9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’ 13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Gaetan, if Jesus opposed money, why does he tell a parable about someone working and receiving wages?

Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’ 21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ 22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’ 23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ 24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’ 26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. 28 “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ Gaetan, someone who made a profit was rewarded in this parable. It says nothing about working for free.

You are still misunderstanding what you first quoted. He wasn't giving instructions for the world, but for his followers. His ingroup. He specifically excluded people already not in the cult. Also, Jesus put the restrictions on his disciples of not charging for gifts he gave to his disciples. That is to say they shouldn't charge for work they, themselves are not doing. They have zero ability to raise the dead on their own merit. If they do manage to raise the dead, they have done zero work. Ergo, zero pay. Threats of violence that you have no ability to carry out is not the best way to gain converts. Might as well threaten to turn me into a newt.

I wander if there is anyone on this forum who vale the trouble i keep. Gaetan, do you really understand what you are posting or just posting scriptures that fit your narrative? Jesus says that yes, money can be a stumbling block for some. For example: The Pharisees “who were lovers of money” (Luke 16:14) The money changers in the temple (see Matt. 21:12-13) Judas Iscariot (see Matt. 26:14-16; John 12:4-6) But if Jesus saw money as some kind of plague, why then were some wealthy men considered as his disciples? Wouldn't Jesus have rejected them? But he didn't. Therefore we can assume that money has a place in his world. In his life and ministry Jesus himself benefited from the wealth of others and even instructed his disciples in the use of material goods for their own spiritual pursuits (see Luke 22:35-36). Wealthy individuals — including Zacchaeus and Joseph of Arimathea — followed Jesus. Others — such as the Gerasene formerly demoniac — desired to leave all in order to follow Jesus, but was prohibited from doing so by Christ himself (see Mark 5:18-19).
