Guns aren't evil either, but you put them in the wrong hands, and they will have a devastating effect. Reality is that without money, there is very little that you could do. Quote

O_o Heck, you hours spent posting on this website this year, would likely amount to a few shifts at work. Heck, the average single male spends 2 hours a week watching porn. 47 minutes isn't the issue. You just don't want to watch the video, and wanted to make the time an issue to deflect from that. Quote

It is not reasonable to expect anyone to waste their time watching a 47 minute video because someone posted it in an forum like this... If you or the original poster have a few points or something you want to highlight from the video for us to review, go for it. Quote LOL, when people have to tell you they are ignoring you...

CouchPotato Posted July 28, 2024 Report Posted July 28, 2024 (edited) On 3/7/2024 at 8:27 PM, Gaétan said: Jesus could not accept the use of money because humans being what they are, it is a tool of temptation which encourages you not to respect the rule of loving your neighbor as yourself because you always want to pay the minimum price for a good and get paid the maximum for your production. Jesus produced a coin from the mouth of the fish to pay a tax. The disciples had a treasury. I suppose you could point out that Judas was the treasurer. But I doubt they abolished the treasury after he killed himself. Paul said to have no concerns about eating anything sold in meat market. To do so one would have to buy it, unless they were stealing. The way to heaven you are proposing, the abolishment of money, is political one. Much like the invention of money in the first place. Mankind (er, I mean peoplekind) cannot make heaven. This ties into the original sin itself. Edited July 28, 2024 by CouchPotato Quote

Gaétan Posted October 26, 2024 Author Report Posted October 26, 2024 To have love you have to do charity so volunteering. In other words, for the love hormones to be secreted, a good thing is to abolish money and live by volunteering, so by doing so, you create the winning condition. The devil told Moses (but that's not what he wanted him to do) and his people to love their neighbor as themselves, and that's the key to heaven, which includes living by volunteering. Quote

There are many forms of love beyond charity. There is no Biblical backing to form a doctrine that you must live by volunteering. Also, as it has repeatedly been pointed out to you already, money is nothing more than a medium to make barter far more efficient. So when you are volunteering for that living... you don't have to carry around a bunch of carrots to try to trade them for what someone else has. This is such a basic concept. I have no idea why you are playing these dumb games here. Quote LOL, when people have to tell you they are ignoring you... From Robosmith: "IGNORE AWARDED DUE TO WORTHLESS POSTS. BYE."

I have no idea why you are playing these dumb games here. You are wrong because Jesus says that: Luke 9:3 New International Version 3 He told them: “Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. Luke 10:4 New International Version 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. Here he says it is criminal, to use money is to act as a criminal: luke 22.35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered. 36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’[b]; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.” Jesus said to render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and you can't have two masters, it is God or money Using money is against the rule of loving your neighbor as yourself because humans are always tempted to pay the minimum for a good and charge the maximum for their own.

Jesus said to apostles to not use money, he didn't say the opposite and i said why, because it is against the golden rule to love your neighbor as yourself, because it is an injustice and i proved it, that's why you can't use money. I proved that you are a troll, don't make any more comments, i don't have time to lose with you. You just say the contrary of what anyone says here, it is a pass time for you.
