Topic: Money above all things, Yes or no ? - page 56. (Read 23837 times)

I was very diligent in looking for money, but money is not everything for me, the family is my priority, so when looking for money I will not forget the time to go on vacation with the family, also will never leave the prayer.
If you are too crazy with money and you leave everything for money, you will regret because everything can not be bought with money.

As a Christian i believe in the power of money, The Bible itself says that Money answereth all things and therefore its good to get money but the Bible also warns that the love of money is the root of all evil. Some people love money more than their own family and that's a very serious problem. Money will not buy you the love and affection of family in your old days after you alienated them. I therefore say that seek money but seek it diligently.

yes i agree it is the money who can really change a person ,who can make a person to do bad things.everybody wants to have more money people didnt  satisfied that is why they want to have more money.money is the biggest instrument that making people deeply drag in to sin.it is verry worst.

I think no. For me knowledge above all things, since the root or the base of all of this is the knowledge without knowledge there will be no computer and technologies if there is no computer or technologies there will be no algorithms, mining, bitcoins and altcoins so i think knowledge is above all things. Because without knowledge you're not able to have a skill and will not be able to earn money

The problem nowadays is that some people 'praises' (their) money which is bad.


Basically we need money in order to sustain our lives. Every thing now has a price so you can't blame people why they depend or want to earn money. But earning money is not an excuse to at least thank God for everything.

Today, people say, only farts are not paid. All need money. That is, no money then have nothing. But do you think our purpose is to live and be created into this world? What exactly are we looking for. Many people have financial advantages but eventually end up suicide. It signifies that wealth does not guarantee happiness. So my opinion, what we really need is happiness, happiness can we get with enough money and time with people we love always there.

Money above all things? As i can see now, i think yes money is above all things that drives our daily life because all we want in our life if you have money you can easily buy and do. And also now, some people are depend   on money. But the most important things is our belief in god, god that give everthing rather than money.

For me, money is just a material that you give when you want something. Money is not important for me as long as i have my family. I just need money to get what i want nothing else.

Its your choice if you go only to church to beg money.

Money is a big temptation, but that's not all. The money will not give you the opportunity to buy health or true love or respect. Money gives great opportunities to man, but only depends on the person whether they bring good or evil. When money is the only thing that interests you I pity you.

I have to admit that money means a lot to everyone, and a lot of people willing to do anything for money and money can makes our lives easier, but not all people skip the church for money, I think praying is very important, not all the things can be bought using money, by praying I got peace and my mind can be at ease

Not every body is a religious person, so don't judge them. Not all people go to church is a good person. Even Pope Franscis say “If I say I am Catholic and go to mass, but then don’t speak with my parents, help my grandparents or the poor, go and see those who are sick, this does not prove my faith, there’s no point,” Money might blind some people but not all of them.

I disagree with this point. First, some people may respect you for other qualities than money. For instance, for you being smart or raising good kids. Secondly, if you have a lot of money that doesn't mean everyone respects you. Some people may even despise you, because you probably got your money in some evil unfair way. Finally, the one thing  money surely doesn't give you is happiness. And that is quite a problem, because poor people may be unhappy and at least have reasons for that, whereas when people who can afford everything realize they can't buy happiness, it is likely to end up with a serious depression or even a suicide.

Your on Bitcointalk, Bitcoin= money, so your pretty much on a forum that is made for talking about money, and even better still your on the part of the forum "economics" which is the part that talks about money.

There is no doubt that money is super important to us, but what you are asking here is whether money should be that important. Money provides life, but sometimes people will spend too much time trying to earn money. This is an important dilemma that people are faced.

Of course not, God is above all things and there's no such thing that can surpass God. Maybe some people is patronizing money so much that they fail to remember God but you can't see or judge people in general. There's still some people here who maybe searching for money but still they are not forgetting God and attending mass every sunday in church.

It can give happiness since we can buy things we wanted,we can travel and we can help those who are in need, but life is not all about Money,  money sometimes makes once life ruined or family broken. It will depend maybe on how we lived and experience of living. Sometimes when we have money or we keep on working to have money we forget to have a life,we have a family to be bond with and friends and obigations to ourselves. We should balance our priorities don't focus too much on money.

But for some, money can be their source of happiness. In a social experiment, they gave beggars some dollars and it made them happy. So tell me, who says money does not give happiness to someone?

I'd say money over most things to meet your basic needs (food and shelter).  Once they are met, then social interactions become more important.  I think things like going to church are based more on belief than potential income.  People that aren't religious aren't going to do that regardless of their financial situation.

Money is not happiness but it sure makes it easier to be happy.

As for the religion side of it, I'd rather relax over both church and earning money (I assume you mean work).

I do not know why one can not earn a little money to sustain himself and not praise God a little bit later. The God has said to leave one day a week for him only if your money making endavours are making you blind of the spiritual world.

Sadly its not the way you are describing it. Its the other way around. If one had not a God in his heart, he will seek the ways to fill the void. If you are having a void in the heart and you need money clearly more than anyone else has, and its clearly more than you would ever need. Boy... you have a problem here.

About the parents. Without me my mother would not survive financially, and would be kicked out from her house for not being able to pay any bill. I have a riddle for you. If I would not earn enough money, and I would be bitter to help her - would I honor her that way?

Btw. God has said to be charitable. Another thing he had said to not be burden to others. How to be charitable and not be a burden to other having nothing?

The world is an awful place, we should try be least awful as possible, but saying that a christian cannot think about money, is driving people away from christianity, as it is completly impossible. Give us a way how to and not condemn people for doing it ok? Christian should not be an obscenely rich - thats true, but define that. What if someone wants money not to need it in the future? Because thats the only way not to need money - to have them enough to buy yourself a sustainability.

Food is above all others. To have food at right times, you must have enough money. Lion can be a king of jungle but there will be no guarantee that it can eat on time because there is no civilization and hence no momentary system system in jungle.

After civilization, momentary system found its importance and from that people invented a comfortable life style. If you have money then you can eat at your preferred time. Without food, there will be no possibilities of surviving. That is the reason, people are not giving importance to God and prayers but to earning methods.

Bitcoin must be a revolution here. After 1000s of years, human again entering into a decentralized momentary system. It will completely change how a person do see/save/live with a momentary system.
