If God does not want us to make money our goal, why do we labour?

[jennifer_bloom]

Today I thought about enjoying security after my hard work paid off and I saw moth in my bathroom - I think God was telling me not to make money my biggest goal

[RealMarek]

We labor because if we don’t work, we die. Cultures in a late stage of development tend to produce so much material excess that this is forgotten. Eventually enough people forget it and the whole system collapses.

Money is temporary, God is forever

[DoctorSex]

Great question,

The root of this question is the conceptualisation of money.

Imagine for a moment, that each human on earth is given a magical powder called, "Ashe", for example. No bigger than what can fit in the palm of your hand.

And this Ashe is by definition, magical✨ and with this magical powder, You Can CREATE.

Creation is what spiritual folk mostly define as the original works of God.

And so you could philosophies that this 'Ashe' that each human is given, is honestly a gift from God to man, to experience his joy.

But there's always a catch! As the day drags on, your Ashe is draines from you😪, and each morning you're given a topped up, fresh set of Ashe. 😁

Well you can stop imaging now because this is an ancient concept, and Ashe represents your Attention and Concentration.

That may be a strange concept to initially play with.. just like the concept that, Energy can never be destroyed. It can only be transformed.

So when you spend your energy arranging a special date and the recipient enjoys their time, or you're an expectant mother. There is a transfer of energy. The works of Ashe.

The game of our economic system currently is a game of transferring your Ashe Into 💸.

That's what gives Money Power.

Kind regards,

God's power that was in Jospeh saving the Egyptians when their money failed them needs to be in us.

Money is a means to an end. That which belongs to Caesar, and what not. It’s not reasonable to expect anyone to do anything for free, so we need a medium of exchange that has real value because we have to work to get it in order to have a functioning economy. A barter economy is absolutely a functioning economy. That barter economy however does not allow rent seeking politicians to get their corruption and graft off of it, so in order to get their piece of the action, they need a cash economy in which transactions can be taxed.

[ArtieWhitefox]

Caesar's name and image were on the coin. That identified who the coin belonged to. That is what jesus was saying. We are gods. God made us. God giving to god what is God's is people giving to others what is God's. Ask and receive is using our ability to communicate. Devils don't want that. They are faithless wanting people to use a thing that is seen.

[ArtieWhitefox]

Labor for yourself and others. People are laboring only for yourselves to obtain a thing that will be useless when God's gifts are gone. Joseph saved the Egyptians when their money failed them.

The carnal mind does not think like God thinks. The carnal mind money. I money. I am rich. God makes us to be rich with what he made. His children make wonderful things with what God made. God does not want to say pay through them.
Evil minds conceptualized the consept of money. The unseen Faher did not do that. Faith comes from the Father of lights who gave to us all good things from above. Devils are faithless. That is where the consept of money came from. Dervils lied about what faith is thropugh church leaders. The church in reality is a coven for witches posing as righteous people perverting the words of the li9ving God. They say jesus is our Saviour bowing down to cash. You know what they want you to think faith is and what religon is. Both are not many.

If God doesn't want us to make money then why is he always passing around a at at church! J/k🤣

God made the universe and then he rested. He set the example for us in that way. We work so we can honor him in service to him and to eachother.

[ArtieWhitefox]

God is not in the church. The church wants to make money. The theives in the temple wanted to make money. They sold doves. That fact is not talked about.

“If you don’t work you don’t eat.”
God needs you to work to contribute to society. It’s when you get greedy and care about wanting more more and more than what you need and will hurt others to get more. That’s where the problem with money can come in.

[Avicenna]

It's definitely not our biggest goal and we should definitely not love money, but we can use it for a lot of positive things, especially charity and taking care of our families. I believe God does want us to make money (ethically, of course).

[Light909090]

So you don’t Think god wants us to Unethically Use our Authority that money Grants to Possess Authority over another.
That’s pretty dark dude

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Many do their job (builder, doctor, teacher, artist) to help the society or for aesthetics. Money is a drug, so go give me a hug!

[Fireguy17]

Since nothing is free, you need to make money to be able to survive.

[ArtieWhitefox]

God made us to be able to survive giving to us what he made. God will do that through a person helping others according to how God blessed them to help others to survive. God has self control. He knows that all that is has sin in it. That is why God will not try to gain all that is unto himself. People regulating themselves. Indians regulated themselves. The Great Spirit in their mind.

[Fireguy17]

@ArtieWhitefox Indians also traded for what they needed, so they needed something to give in exchange for what they needed, so no matter how you say it, nothing is free.

Money is merely a means to an ends. You have to decide what ends you want to achieve in life and figure out how important money is in achieving them.

[Makeushiver]

According to genesis we labor because cain slew abel.

[Light909090]

That’s False but okay thanks for the Valuable Information

[Staximus]

We work to pay bills. I think you have a moth problem.

[Light909090]

Then don’t make money be homeless. God told you to not make money which means if he did that then he doesn’t want you to make money so Quit your Job and go join a Monastery become a NUN

[Sarahplus2]

If God knows another way to pay my bills I am all open. Why is it everytime you wipe your ass you have to consult God about it?

[fiveinthemorning]

I would take this question to Quora. Better suited.

[Agape93]

Because shit costs money

[MoonCrest]

I guess a Christian would say that since labor is a punishment caused by original sin, then making money is just a fallen practice🤷‍♀️

[turk55]

God is the guarantor of sustenance.
