My Understanding of Gold and Silver - A Christian Symbol

[jennifer_bloom]

I think this image is perfect to represent the complex relationship people have with themselves, their environment and their Gods

The gold here is a representation for personal achievement and accomplishment

The silver is a symbol for spiritual growth and personal maturation

While pursuing personal achievement we must not neglect personal growth

While pursuing personal growth we must not neglect personal achievement

The process of growth without achievement is laziness and desolation and loneliness and hunger

The process of achievement without growth is pride and greed and hatred and death

Both drives must be pursued in great capacity to maintain the foundation of life

That's simply an elaborate version of the yin and the yan, a symbol older that the Christian religion

It's an interesting way to view and see gold and sliver 🤔

Sorry but that is incorrect and not the biblical symbolism of gold and silver.

Silver symbolizes value as well as purification as we are purified and refined spiritually by god in a similar manner to how silver is purified and refined by a silversmith. Through fiery trials.

Gold, in the Bible, often symbolizes what it does elsewhere: wealth, power, and status. However, it is not always that way in the Scriptures. At times it can mean something that endures and withstands fire, which is precisely the way ministry should be. A person’s work should be able to withstand the fire; a person’s life should be able to be refined like gold. So, depending on the context, gold can be important in the Bible for various reasons. It could be used a compare/contrast, an enduring substance, or wealth. The Bible, however, never comes out and says gold is evil, but it does offer some caveats about it: don’t trust it, don’t hoard it, and abuse it. All things, after all, belong to God.

I always thought that silver had an association with temptation or sin because judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.

My view is gold represents consciousness and value systems and some say glory or happiness and intelligence while silver represents understanding and insight and inspiration - you could say Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus because he wanted to replace Him and become the new leader.

Confused...

You say Christian, then you say Gods.
Christianity is monotheistic, as in ONE God.
GODS implies a non-monotheistic religion, like Norse, Pagan, Roman...

This is Yin Yang and it is sadly chinese symbol.

it means good and evil inside everything.

[Cryptic-Game]

Gold and silver means nothing compared to how valuable Jesus is that God gave us for salvation.
