Money as Idolatry

MONEY AS IDOLATRY

Money as Idolatry

The apostle Paul exclaimed that the love of money is the root of all evils.

1 Timothy 6:10 NET For the love of money is the root of all evils. Some people in reaching for it have strayed from the faith and stabbed themselves with many pains.

He did not say money is the root of all evils but that the “love of money” is the root of all evils. A certain amount of money is necessary to live in this world. Even the disciples carried around a small box of money for their immediate needs. It is the greed and the desire of receiving of vast amounts of money. In other words collecting money or wealth is viewed as one’s purpose in life and most other things, including the recognition and worship of God the Creator is put aside. Mammon or wealth becomes idolatrous as in the worship of an idol.

Paul gives a list of common idolatries in the last days and “lovers of money” is the second item on the list. Paul’s list of idolatries seems to describe most of Congress, government, corporations, and the far left ANTIFA types. (Just my personal opinion.)

2 Timothy 3:1-5 NET But understand this, that in the last days difficult times will come. (2) For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, (3) unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, savage, opposed to what is good, (4) treacherous, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God. (5) They will maintain the outward appearance of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these.

Jesus described this “money as one’s idol” situation clearly in Matthew 6:24. A person cannot serve two masters. If money is your master than God is set aside. If collecting and receiving money is your primary concern then the Kingdom of God is despised.

Matthew 6:24 KJV No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (money or wealth).

Thoughts From Henry Makow

“Money” as Occult Spell – June 6, 2018 https://www.henrymakow.com/

When we think of money, we usually think of the coupon form, the official looking paper slips of various denominations. This is deceiving. Money is really an abstraction denoting material value.

There are hundreds of millions of transactions every day. Do you really think paper slips get moved from bank to bank? No, all that changes is a number in your account. Yes, a tiny fraction of paper slips change hands when we use cash but this is negligible.

It starts off as “credit” which the Rothschild’s bestow on your country when banks provide a loan. Then it can take any form. Money should be thought of as a kind of electricity, the lifeblood of the economy.

Banks are local franchises of the Rothschild world banking cartel. They keep the accounts. They decide who gets to tap into this electrical grid. One day when cash is abolished, they will ban dissenters.

“Money” comes into the world as debt, usually the national debt which is backed by the credit of the state. The collateral for this debt is its citizens. 

In the future, the Rothschilds could demand repayment of this “debt”, an abstraction they created out of nothing. As their debt slaves, one day this may be a pretext for our enslavement. 

Imagine it (the money machine) is run by Satanists (cabalists) who hate humanity and wish to enslave it. I’m not just speaking of physical enslavement. Money is used to enslave us spiritually as well. 

Most of our waking thoughts are devoted to money. Millions are wrapped up in the stock market and watch their net worth fluctuate from hour to hour. Most people spend their day trying to make money or fretting about whether they have enough money for their old age. 

Basically, the man behind the curtain has already enslaved us spiritually by making us obsess on money and the things it can buy. We associate money with liberation. But many super-rich people are not happy. Kate Spade, who committed suicide yesterday, is said to be “worth” over $200 million. If anything, money is a spiritual foretaste of our physical enslavement. 

Money and sex are the North-South of our mental compass. By no coincidence, the people who make us obsess on money, are also behind sexual liberation and pornography. Both occupy our thoughts. Both take us away from God. Both dehumanize and degrade us.
