God says the following about money; 1 Timothy 6:10 (KJV)
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
1 Timothy 3:3 (KJV)
3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
Matthew 6:24 (KJV)
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
I don't believe there is such a thing as economic injustice at the national level. Frankly, most people cannot handle money as is amply demonstrated by those who win hundreds of millions of dollars playing lotto, only to sail through once again to povery/bankruptcy in 2 or 3 short years. Though possibly once anti-Christ takes control, it may well exist at that point for a little 'season.' Your last two attempts to attach economic injustice to Scripture were unsuccessful as I have pointed out. And in past postings on the matter, you said God would someday or today, be leveling the economic playing field and I totally disagree that is forecast to happen this side of Armageddon. However, you'll enlist my support on the matter if you can demonstrate it to be a valid teaching within Scripture.
Just an example: Ford Motor did a cost-benefit analysis and decided it was cheaper to settle lawsuits than recall the Pinto and fix a little problem (when rear ended, it had a tendency to blow up). That is a form of economic injustice, in that silver and gold is counted more dear than flesh and blood.
"Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
"Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied." Before spiritualizing these words...
"Woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
"Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will grow hungry."
I do not believe, actually, the Great Reversal will take place in this temporality, though in Acts 2: 42-45, a certain reversal of attitude has already taken place.
In sum, I am not suggesting that a hard working person who is successful should be taxed at 40% so that those who won't work can have big screen tv's, or that hard work and financial success are to be frowned upon. That is ridiculous. I am suggesting the power elite on Wall Street and in board rooms should tread carefully, as the God who spared not for flesh and blood will not spare those who honor silver and gold above flesh and blood.
