>>That’s makes no sense...

 

Ex 20:3-6

3 "You shall have no other gods beforea me.

4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand [ generations] of those who love me and keep my commandments.

NIV

Ex 32:7-8

. 8 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.'

NIV

 

Romans 1:25-26

25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over....

=================================

Because of what, gave them over to what?

That’s a real stretch......real stretch. I mean, in that way, you can apply the First Commandment and the Romans verse to everything in life - which was my point when I said only in a general sense.

It does nothing to advance your argument with me, because we don’t disagree on the verses, but we certainly disagree on how to apply them. You think you understand the God and mammon thing, but you don’t.

The free market is the best way to organize the affairs of men, period. No other system on this earth are as compassionate in the end results. That in spite of the fact that there are cheaters in the system...people who game the system.

But all of world history, about which you are ignorant, proves that freedom is far superior to any state run economy.

As for Greece, it does not require me to exonerate EU to say Greece brought most of this on themselves. To talk about the mortgage meltdown, I never said the banks acted properly - all I said, and I stand by, is that GOVERNMENT was the catalyst. It always is in these deals. Then that starts the crony problem.

And that’s not putting mammon over God to say that, even though your witchcraft infested mind thinks so.
