Neither money nor wealth is necessarily wrong or bad. Taking your focus off God is what is wrong. Applying greed to wealth makes it worse.
Is there a God?? how long does it take people to find it??
Just cause someone wants God to be true desnt make him true, especially since it says on the Dollar Bill "In God we trust", so I seriously doubt it that there is god
Because the US Government is the last organization that should use God in the same sentence with anything they do or stand for
or liberty for that matter but this is another Story
The "God" that is mentioned on the money, is the money itself. Lots of people love money... especially of the Jews, who had formerly been God's chosen nation.
Science has proven that God exists. Nature shows that God exists.
Backup a little. Where is it written that the Jews are no longer God's chosen nation? I have always wondered about this theological topic...
I get your point.
The Hebrew people rebelled in the desert at the exodus from Egypt. All of them fell in the wilderness, and only their children and grandchildren entered the promised land.
Throughout the days of the judges, the people rebelled. Many of them were slain by the heathen nations in and around the promised land.
The people sinned and they fell, big time, to the Babylonians. Many of them were killed. They were hauled off to Babylon, and Jeremiah tells us about the few that were left, how they wouldn't return to God. The land had rest for 70 years.
The people wouldn't accept their Savior, the Messiah, even though that was the only real reason God set them in place at their beginning... so He could bring the Messiah out of the Israel nation. You know, the Messiah, about Whom Moses said in Deuteronomy 18:15, "The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers." So the nation of Israel fell to the Romans in 70 A.D., and were wanderers, this time, for like 18 hundred years until 1948.
Is that the Jews you are talking about? Or are you talking about the real Israel, the people who believe God the Savior, the people Saint Paul talks about in Romans 9:6-8 when he says, "It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, 'It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.' In other words, it is not the natural children who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring."
This is one of the biggest problems of the Christian church. They haven't properly identified Israel. Saint Paul says in the beginning of Romans 11:
1 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel:
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”?
4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
7 What then? What Israel sought so earnestly it did not obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,
8 as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes so that they could not see and ears so that they could not hear, to this very day.”
9 And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
The point? The blessed Israel of God is the believers in the Messiah of the promise God made to Abraham. No matter how genetically pure of a patriarchal stock Israelites might be, no matter how perfectly they follow the laws of Moses, if they are not believers of Jesus salvation, they are not the chosen nation. You can see this by how God cast physical Israel out, but had mercy on them for the sake of the believers among them.
