Topic: What does the bible say about Bitcoin? - page 7. (Read 18401 times)

The price of the beast:

Of course Bitcoin will not be the one world currency spoken of in revelations, we probably won't even be here when that occurs. I think investing in Bitcoin just like investing in general with Fiat is perfectly fine. Jesus paid taxes to Caesar and they used the legal currency of the Roman empire at the time. Even though the fiat system is based on evil, there is nothing that we can do.

Bitcoin though is paving the subconscious of peoples mind to one day accept the one world digital currency, again just because Bitcoin is doing this indirectly does not mean Christians cannot get involved with it and use it, just as Fiat/Taxes are used for much worst evil things.

"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's"

That's the way Christianity should be presented. Bravo.

Maybe He just wanted to bless us with funds to give to various charities or needs?  I have learned that when God speaks that it is wise to just do what He says.  I can't see the "big picture" but He can.  Maybe putting my trust in USD is really stupid and God knows this so He is saying that I should diversify?   If He is ready to rapture the church that is fine with me too.  Life on this planet gets tiresome.  I had a pastor once say that this life is the closest to hell we will ever be.  Seems about right.  To "live is Christ but to die is gain."  But I digress.

As for listening to God, the times in my life when I decided to do my own thing and not ask or listen to God's advice is when I really screwed things up big time.  

Of course, many on this board do not think that they are in need of a relationship with God/Jesus.  I guess they are smarter or wiser than He is or do not think He exists and think I am just crazy but the book of Proverbs has plenty to say about that so I will not post anything. Everyone can just read it for themselves if they are interested.

I have concluded that Revelations talks about AltCoins:

So the bible fell from the sky? Church did write the bible http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea

That's funny. God led you to Bitcoin? Is he trying to start the rapture by creating the one world currency? I guess enough time has passed. It does seem overdue.

Answers in Genesis is one of my favorite organizations.  We have given several large donations to them.  I love that they are providing answers for people that really need them.  Not everyone cares to research, but for those that need more scientific evidence they can at least find it here.  AIG should take BTC.  

I do ponder if Christians are worried about using BTC or investing in it because of what it says in the book of Revelation.  I personally think Christians should be very interested in it, just from the standpoint that it is outside of governments control and that could be useful in a time where persecution is rampant.  I don't know.  Maybe I am overthinking this?  But hubby and I literally felt led of God to buy some.  Sound strange but it is true!

The earth is flat! What most people think of science and the bible, yet if they again spent a few seconds researching they would realize that the bible actually taught a round earth, and some of moderns science recent discoveries about expansion and mass.

All the scientific proof you need.

http://www.answersingenesis.org/

Most advanced scientists all come to the same conclusion that god exists. Just because you deem that there is no scientific proof doesn't make it reality, if all you did was 2 seconds of googling im sure you would find plenty of scientific information. Proof can also be found personal testimonies and observing the world.

Has it ever crossed your mind why humanities whole time system is based on Jesus name? The whole worlds meaning of time is split based on the death of Jesus. Before Christ and After Death. Do you think a false lie would have such a huge long lasting impact on humanity?

Usually the people who reject the teachings of Christianity, true Christianity not what some church leader tells you for his benefit, are usually hate to say it but evil filled people.

The teachings of Christianity

Love yourself as one another. And that god the creator of the universe came and sacrificed himself and let himself willingly get murdered for us to have immortal life?

So which part of Jesus do you guys hate so much? The love people part? Well if you do than it just shows what a complete evil person you are.

Btw I was an atheist than agnostic/new age then I cried out to god of the universe and asked him to show me himself and his true name, and Jesus was the only one who answered. No I was not brought up in a christian home and never knew about Jesus. The things that happened to me which I calculated the probabilities to happen were literally .000000000000000001% chance, the fact that these events happened based on a probability of never happening in 1 billion lifetimes is enough scientific proof for me.

If you truly have an honest and loving heart, meaning you were always the person helping people because you were just a nice person. Call out to Jesus and ask him to prove himself to you, if you sincerely mean it, you will see enough scientific evidence in your life to prove gods and his existence.

God says whoever truly desires to find him will, I did that day not knowing his name and I found him.

Max Keiser states: Satoshi Nakamoto = the return of Christ / Cyber-Christ to save us from financial destruction.
So if he says that... all the Christians can start accepting bitcoin 

ps.

If the Catholic church starts using bitcoin... that would be so great!

Yeah, but almost all of them are Old Testament verses, and a lot of Christians tend to just discredit all the Old Testament as hooey to get out of explaining them. I do believe in one thing; if there is a god, I think all religion's would be an absolute insult to his/her/its intelligence.

My favourite biblical quote: "nothing" - god.

You're just making up your own religion as you go along. That's a fine concept with plenty of support or their wouldn't be so many different sects of the Christian cult. That's the biggest problem with Christianity for me. If there's something you don't like about it you just don't believe that part and move on. You do that too much and there's no reason to keep believing.

If you take a simple quote like Timothy 2:12: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man she must be quiet." That's pretty understandable given the climate at the time but in modern times it just doesn't work so let's throw it out.

Or the likes of Leviticus 18:22: "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman", because it's bad, m'kay. That's obviously not going to work in the modern world let's chuck it out.

I don't like Psalm 137:9 either: "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." I don't care what lesson you're trying to teach or what metaphor revolves around this, just keep kids out of it. Let's just forget that one was ever in there because there is never a reason good enough to kill kids. Chuck it out.

Can we just keep kids out of this Jeremiah 19:9: "And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them." Get this outa there.

Why does HE hate children so much 2 Kings 2:23-24: "23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them." Obviously we don't need to read about children being mauled by a curse from GOD.

If I remove all of the things that are either sick, disgusting or stupid then I'm not left with enough canvas to paint my religion on. I'd rather just scrap this one and start over.

It does snow in the deserts, and reach freezing temperatures overnight, plenty of evidence of it on YouTube, and this is during Global Warming.

I don't believe in global warming, or everything in the bible, but Jesus was probably real (multiple evidence sources), and had a positive message for humanity.

Let's speak about Romulans and their cloaking devices, do they exists?

The Bible says.

Usury: Lending money at interest is bad. (Fiat is money backed by debt it only has value because we are all in debt) Government for our parents to register our birth and we are used as collateral against government loans. The Bond holder is your slave master.

Fair weights and measures: Cheating people on the value of their money is bad. (The value of fiat is manipulated by Exchange Stabilization Funds and Bond purchases) Inflation means most people will have to keep working until they die!

The most important video you will ever watch on how debt based fiat money really works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqvKjsIxT_8

There are many things that you have no personal evidence that exist, yet you have faith that they do.  I'm sure that I can guess a few.

That's still a false choice.  It's entirely possible to view 'natural selection' as it as known today as one process (perhaps one of many) by which God creates.  Like setting up the rules and letting the program run.  While it's demonstratablely true that teh process of natural selection is the dominate force in play today, that does not show that it's always been the case.  We, almost certainly, don't completely understand that process itself, because there are many examples of species on earth that do not conform to our understanding of natural selection and it's outcomes.  I have personally met many professors that will admit this, and a few that have openly converted to a more biblical worldview due to these same contradictions.

I'm aware of that, and there are other explainations that are more plausible.  There is some evidence that much of the known world suffered a massive saltwater flooding event around 8 to 10 thousand years ago.  That is not to say that I think that this particular story is factually accurate, but it's not necessarily just a story either.

Actually, we could have.  Our most recent common ancestor was during the middle ages.  http://www.stat.yale.edu/~jtc5/papers/CommonAncestors/NatureAncestorsPressRelease.html

However, even the bible cannon contradicts itself on whether or not they were the only people to survive.  It's more likely that they were the only people to survive that they considered of note.  Keep in mind that most of the patriarchs of Genisis are there because they were the wealthy leaders of a large "household".  A more recent comparison would be the original owners of Biltmore; whose official household consisted of only three people, but lived inside the largest single private residence in the Western world with nearly 1000 staff members.  Certainly, Noah wasn't the only family to own a boat at the time.



I didn't say that I was a young earth advocate.
