The Kingdom: money

Monday, February 2, 2009

When did it start? When did the theory start that the goal is to get a pile O money between now and 65 and then coast till death? Is this in line with the Kingdom?

Who started this? Is this how the rest of the world does it? Is this how God wants us to do it. What parallels are there between the pile O money we are trying to build and the Kingdom?

What about those that are not wanting to work for the pile, but are leaching onto the others pile?

Is money in any way tied to the Kingdom of God?

The verse we seek to unwind

LUKE 17:20 Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, 21nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."

22Then he said to his disciples, "The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 23Men will tell you, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Do not go running off after them. 24For the Son of Man in his day^[c] will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. 25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

The rulz

Welcome and here are the sand box rulz.

1.) Come here if you want to Seek the Kingdom of God. This is not a place to change others. It is a place to change yourself with the help of others.
2.) No personal names allowed. Only handles.
3.) We are here to coalesce around the common essences of truth Seekers of Christ find across all perspectives and traditions.
4.) No prosletyzing allowed. We should not try to convert anyone to our perspective.
5.) The primary focus of this is discovery. No trumps to stop lines of reason or discussion allowed.
6.) All who come here should be willing to challenge their faith and their tradition. If they cannot, they will be offended, and cannot help the rest of us grow.
7.) Everyone here should be secure enough with their Savior that they need not feel threatened by another who has a different perspective.
8.) No judging allowed. You can think what you want. But you are not allowed to verbally pass judgement on another.
