Greed and Power

Because of short fortune made from the recent selling and melt down, many seem to lose the sight on what is going on. When you see evil at work, you would need to be able to condemn the evilness, if you are to be saved. Of course, Jesus also said to pray for them; but also performed evil spirit casting to pigs to be slaughtered.

Certainly the Words seem to be paradoxical; but there is no doubt that those who profited from suffering others will not go unpunished.

I have seen many who do not care about watching evilness at work and do not do anything. That is also being a part of being evil as it is written if you have caused a small being to fall, then, it is better for you to put a stone around your neck and plunge into sea. The risk which not doing anything when you are a bystander, is that you could have prevented or stopped the evilness. God may have given you the opportunity to do your duty to stop or may be testing your faith in Him and your willingness to do His Will.

Mark 9:42 And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck.

Matthew 5:30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

Being politically correct or financially wealthy is often detrimental to being saved or for doing the Will of GOD.

A poster brought up, "MONOPOLY":

As for "MONOPOLY" in spiritual sense, Remember that GOD is the Ultimate Monopoly and He will judge ALL according to His Rules.

I was talking about "Spiritual sense" and don't think that you can separate the Words of GOD in any economic or political terms as the same fundamental truth ultimately applies to all human knowledge and its application in actions. Not only in actions, but all our thoughts will be judged according to His Rules.

But we need to know all surrounding circumstances to shed light on a particular situation or sequences of events. Furthermore, only GOD is the Ultimate Judge and knows all the truth and has complete knowledge.

May God have Mercy and Grace on US.
