1. Mat 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. 2. Luk 16:9 (KJV) |
Do you know what the word “mammon” mean? Let me explain for you so that you may understand it fully. The definition is: Earthly goods; property; goods. Many of us fall into this category, consciously or unconsciously. However, if you don’t, you know someone that is. But, don’t make the mistake thinking you are not this way. The way it is today is the way it has always been. The more you get, the more you want. It is like the age old saying, trying to be like The Jones’ and some people go even further.
Here in the USA, there is a family at the top of the ladder that is in violation of the verses in Matthew and Luke and they continuously go after the all mighty dollar although they have, or make everyone believe they have, more money than they really need. Their son is said to have taken from a charity for his own business, but that is another topic for later. Everything that this family does have mammon attached to it. Yes, I believe their master is obtaining more and more mammon not Godliness.
Then look at the proposed healthcare bill he and his minions in Congress want to pass. He has said and his minions have said they would have millions on healthcare while not cutting medicade and other plans when it is far from the truth. They wrote the bill in secret and want a quick vote so that few will know exactly what is there and the outcry against it is short.
I will paraphrase some of the readings from the Bible in order to make this shorter and hope you will understand. Almost daily twitter rampages come from our executive office and what is written is so embarrassing. He does not seem to be able to write anywhere else but into that mass media account. What he write is usually something about himself, in an attempt to rise to a very high level and for people to admire him or against women, of which he has done for years on end. His wife and minions say when he is attacked he will attack back ten times harder.
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
(Luke 6:27-29 KJV)
This man and his minions all say they have religion yet, from what I have observed so far, there is a lacking of any type of understanding religion or religious beliefs. If he was attacked by the media and have an urge to attack back, religious beliefs should have held him in check. If he had been spoken badly about and he resented it, his understanding of Luke chapter six verses twenty seven and twenty eight should have prevented his lashing back. If he had been spoken badly about and he wanted to lash back, Luke chapter six verse twenty nine should have come to mind. Turning the other cheek is not so hard a thing to do. Myself and most other people do it frequently and have survived. This also include the vicious attacks on women that is contrary to everything religion have taught.
As of now, the USA is being run by a Godless individual that either does not understand the Bible and God’s teachings or he have not read the Bible (oh, I remember him saying he does not read a lot and does not like to read). He serves only himself and goods and, as I see it, there is a lack of respect for women. He will see and feel the flames of hell. I pity him and his minions.
