USURY, MONEY, AND PROFIT HAVE COME OUT FROM EVIL: HELP THE TRANSFORMATION TO THE MONEYLESS SYSTEM
Too little, too late, is what's been happening all around the planet by design. The crash was caused so the key players could get the tax dollars to buy up their smaller competitors. They have plenty of other dirty tricks yet that they'll be rolling out as the disaster they made continues.
They still want privatization. Don't kid yourself. They want all the pension funds. Robbing widows is an old pastime of theirs. It's Biblical you know.
They are doing their best to set the stage to target government entitlements. They will insist that all the nationalization that has occurred be reversed. Then they will say that government spending and deficits must be reined in on the back of the poor and retirees. They will say that the only way to finance Social Security is via privatization. They will say that inflation must be reined in by higher interest rates, which will increase unemployment and further weaken unions and lower the wages the superrich will pay the poor, further enslaving the poor to them.
This will take time through which to cycle. They will depend upon the mainstream media they own to control the messages. They will depend upon short-attention spans, shocked and numbed minds, memory lapses, and new people (young) coming into the system who haven't experienced the scams and don't know enough about just how devious the superrich are.
Usury is a sin. Usury isn't just high interest rates. That's a sham definition that was put forth by the usurers who are the private bankers. Usury is interest on debt, period. Any interest is usurious in other words.
Interest is completely unnecessary to a well-functioning society and economy. It is a burden and drain on the whole system in fact. It was never necessary. It was invented by the selfish who over the millennia have deliberately created situations that back others into corners where they are offered interest-bearing debt-slavery or starvation. It is so far from the New Commandment as to be it's polar opposite.
There are many other things that are unnecessary evil along with usury. Profit of the private-capitalists kind is unnecessary, evil, and a drain on the whole. It is selfishly motivated, which is evil. This too is Biblical.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36) That's Jesus posing a question for everyone's edification.
Another thing that isn't really needed is a medium of exchange (currency or money).
People could very easily get together and simply decide to help each other do whatever project they agree to work on to bring forth. When people first ventured into the wilderness, they made what they needed from those things provided by the natural system God provided and still does. In the capitalist sense, they didn't buy it with dollars. They didn't trade what they had for it with anyone. They certainly didn't owe anyone interest on any debt.
You may think that the world is too complicated now to do things that way. It is not. The only problem is with people being stuck in their own minds. They had false ideas hammered into them all their lives. They've been hammered into what those who gain the world want so those who lose their souls for fleeting profits now can have as much of that false-hearted wealth, power, and control as possible. The problem is with short-sightedness. The problem is with selfishness.
The current system is dumb. It is not the best way. Central-planning isn't the way and laissez-faire capitalism isn't the way. Decentralized/centralized planning is the way. That's no false paradox.
Human mentality must evolve. Consensus around unselfishness must be developed. It must be at the grassroots and in the places that serve as hubs for facilitating the sharing of unselfish information and all that would necessarily accompany it.
Do away with usury. Then begin to do away with debt by replacing it with giving as much as possible. Then do away with money entirely. Then do away with profit. Do away with trade by replacing it with giving without holding out for gain. Doing all of this will create the mentality that will result in everyone having the highest quality of life beyond present imagination.
Do away with the Federal Reserve System. Do away with the privatized national bank. Do away with borrowing from anyone to create currency. The people don't need to owe anyone any interest simply so the people may print money. That should be obvious to a little child.
The banking industry is an evil invention. There are many people within it who don't understand this. They've been swept up by the whole system. They try to be as faithful as possible in the unrighteous mammon thinking that that is the best that can be. It isn't.
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (Luke 16:11)
Look at those words and consider all the different and consistent things they impart. What is the right thing to do given the situation or circumstances? That's what people are constantly asking themselves. What should I do? What is right? Should I cheat? Can one cheat within a cheating system? Is that the right thing to do considering the position into which I've been forced? Are there extenuating circumstances? Are there mitigating circumstances? Must my family starve, because the rich have placed me over a barrel via their lies? I trusted them. I shouldn't have. Regardless though, why can't I just take from them since they've lied and cheated? Wouldn't just taking what I need from them be acceptable in God's eyes? Wouldn't it be justice?
There are also those who did the system's bidding and were then exposed. Why should they not continue gaming the system?
And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. (Luke 16:1)
And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. (Luke 16:2)
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. (Luke 16:3)
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. (Luke 16:4)
So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? (Luke 16:5)
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. (Luke 16:6)
Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. (Luke 16:7)
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. (Luke 16:8)
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (Luke 16:9)
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. (Luke 16:10)
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? (Luke 16:11)
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? (Luke 16:12)
No servant 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. (Luke 16:13)
There are many self-style Biblical scholars who cannot read and comprehend those verses. They are very limited in what they get out of them.
Let me explain the verses for you somewhat. The bad steward had been up to no good. We aren't told exactly what he had been doing. We are told though that while he still had time, he ingratiated himself to debtors who were willing to go along with the fraud. Now, this troubles readers, because they become confused by not being able to grasp that Jesus isn't saying to do this sort of thing on the dark side but rather the side of the light. The point of the verses is that children of the light are those who will forgive those who have offended them as they themselves want to be forgiven by God. It isn't complicated. In addition, Jesus is instructing that you don't want to get into the bad-stewardship position in the first place.
Now, none of this means that in the worldly system that you are going to be treated justly by those in the relative position of lord. Plenty of people in positions of power are going to crush good stewards below them and work to undermine good stewards above them and next to them. In fact, part of the system is that good stewards are threats to the bad and the best steward (or would-be steward except he or she is kept down) is the biggest threat and target. The biggest threat is targeted by the worst, who are capable of the worst, including literally crucifying others.
It is the bad stewards who have designed the current system that is based upon selfishness and coercion regardless of whether it's called capitalism or socialism or a mixed economy.
The alternative I've stated above for no usury, no profits, and no money (mammon) is idealistic. There is nothing wrong with that. It is not impractical. It is the most practical. It is not unrealistic. It is getting to what is truly real that is not false-hearted.
We must change the language to bring forth Heaven on Earth. God is the word.
People think it's hypocritical that I ask for monetary donations for the Christian Commons Project™. They don't read the whole plan. They don't read the other posts on this site about translating the pent-up psychological value they see in that money into the moneyless system.

To all homosexuals and their supporters, condoners, promoters, accepters, confirmers, and the like:
Unless you have something completely new that hasn't already been refuted, don't bother. It won't show up.
Rehashing what has already been refuted is a waste of everyone's time.
I'm not interested in casting pearls before swine, giving the children's bread to the dogs, or rebuking a forever scorner.
Learn or go away: There is zero wisdom in homosexuality. Homosexuality is wrong. Nothing any homosexual or anyone else can say or do will alter it. No one needs the Bible to know it either. It's prima facie. There's no such thing as an unrepentant-homosexual Christian. There never has been and never will be. That's the way of it. If you don't like it, change.
Do site searches on the various topics concerning homosexuality to determine if your "point" has already been handled. Currently, I provide three different search methods. The "WordPress" search is still the most thorough.
The same can be done regarding militarism, capitalism, coercion, and many other main issues and themes.
TREATMENT, RUDENESS, POLITENESS, OFFENSE, TRUTH
Many times over the course of this website's existence, I've had commentators complain about how I've treated them and/or others. Much less frequently has anyone taken exception to those commentator's comments. I assume that's because for one, I appear to be holding my own.
Often, I have raised the fact that Jesus called certain people "serpents." I've often also mentioned how he cleaned the temple with whip in hand, not that he used it on anyone. It certainly doesn't say that he did, and neither was he charged with it in the kangaroo court of the serpents who ended up murdering him by proxy just for, among other wonderful things, speaking out and speaking truth.
If I say that those who are engaged in serpentine behavior are the New Testament "serpents," then why take offense at my saying it rather than standing with Jesus and me about it?
If others don't like it that I treat others or them the way I have in this regard, why don't they take it up with the serpents and/or their own consciences and God?
If I wanted to catch flies, I'd use honey. I don't want flies on this level. Human beings aren't to be on the level of flies. If the truth is bitter as vinegar, then ask yourself why and learn to taste it as sweet but not sickeningly so. Why attack the message and messenger, as the serpents did, and become a serpent by so doing?
The issue is not "name calling" on some bratty, childish level. When Jesus said "serpents," he was not being as a brat. His level was completely adult to adults and children. He dared say that the children understood the clear and plain truth before the adults who, afterall, had been abused and socialized by the serpents. He still calls adults back. Those who hear him and know his voice (truth) turn around and do the other required things together as well.
What is it for a human being to be more serpentine or reptilian than what God initially gave? What was and remains Jesus's point? What is the reptilian brain versus the vastly higher human brain with its cerebral cortex and frontal and temporal lobes and specific areas of altruistic sentiments and abilities? What are those higher areas before they are damaged, before the communication pathways to them and between them are diminished by evil that is always some form of abuse? How are those pathways reestablished or created where they never were in this fleshly life?
The snake lays its eggs. The eggs hatch. The snake parent doesn't nurture or raise the offspring. It's every snake for itself. Human parents and family are not designed to be that way. Humans hand down the learning of nurturing. Many people get better training than do others, and many people have a greater aptitude for learning and predisposition for the higher and highest virtues. Many are less abused. People can change for the better and best though, no matter where the starting point. They only can't if they don't — if they reject it.
Snakes, of course, also come in venomous varieties and in strangling varieties, etc., such that they have been attackers and even devourers of humans for eons, guilty and innocent alike.
Now, Jesus knew that most people could relate to what were, and still are, largely considered "good" parenting skills and "good" "family" relations. He regularly used those concepts to get people to consider the wider implications for the whole of humanity. He did know that many would refuse. He let them go. He didn't demand secular or false-religion legislation to rein them in with threats of violence and imprisonment. He was not and is not coercive. Even his Church is a voluntary place to be.
What he still teaches (through the written words in the New Testament and as those connect with the Old and also teaches through the Holy Spirit he definitely sent as he said he would) is, among many other things, that "good" is vastly better than has been commonly accepted and that real "family" is everyone left after all the rest have rejected the higher and highest good. He raised the standards far above the Old Testament and far above the "modern" standard.
The American Empire and the American people in general aren't even touching the hem of his garment, let alone even attempting to stand upright and side-by-side with him.
I point out that Jesus was, and is, a Real Liberal Christian. He is the one who brought back this censored truth that is the light. After he had spoken it and lived it and was murdered for doing so, the censors set about to re-censor it and did. They couldn't put it out though — couldn't completely extinguish the truth. I wouldn't be saying it now again with all credit to God, just as Jesus, if they had been able to completely block it.
I point out that each of those terms ("real," "liberal," and "Christian," along with "Church") are actually redundant terms — synonyms that are so close that they become one. The term "liberal" here is not the common usage, which common usage is a deliberate corruption of the term. There is no harm in real liberalism. There is no vileness in it. There is only beneficence. "Real" may be understood as the opposite of false-hearted, dark side, and dead of the Holy Spirit. Christian is both real and liberal in those senses. To arrive at living, doing, being those full senses requires what Jesus lives, does, and is in the highest. Finally, the Church is the whole.
Who are they who want to drag it down, censor it, work against it, lessen it, ignore it, etc.? Well, who sides with Jesus and who sides against him? Did the serpents side with him then? Do they now?
We call war-mongers "hawks." We call "peacemakers" blessed and "doves." Why do the hawks not take offense at "hawks" but do take offense at "serpents"? "Hawks" is not yet as telling to the general public, but I must tell you that all hawks are serpents. Why do some say, "Greed is good" but take offense at "serpents"? I tell you there is no difference between the selfish and the serpents. Why do people take offense at serpents when they do not take offense at homosexuality? I tell you the homosexual spirit also comes out from the dark side. It is a choice. It is harmful. Many are abused with it. Many never overcome it. Their very brain matter is transformed by it. Then they claim it is good when it remains confusion and definitely wrong and harmful.
Many arguments were put forth in support of tolerance. I understood that Jesus "tolerated," as in he did not execute wrath but rather told the truth and let the blind follow the blind (blind to the truth) into the ditch of their own making. I have watched while the movement has been corrupted into condoning what was once only to be tolerated. I have watched further while it has moved from condoning to promoting even to the youngest children to get to them before the truth does. I have seen evil at work, and I sound the alarm. I face censorship and other negative reactions for it.
As the American Empire claims to be a light to the world, it murders innocent babies by Hellfire missiles fired from predator drones controlled by armchair, video-gaming serpents in uniform. It tortures those who are not even suspects. It spies on its own without even probable cause or reasonable suspicion. It lies its way into wars for spoils and control. It neglects its poor, whom it treads down for the sakes of the superrich — for the sake of the massive flow of mammon from the bottom up (no trickledown — trickledown is a farce and always has been). All is claimed to be okay in America though — that America is headed in the right direction — because soon, even "don't tell, don't ask" will be a thing of the quaint past and homosexuals may be able to sleep together and have sex in the barracks with the "blessing" of the Empire while they practice murdering the innocent for the sake of homosexual, greedy plutocrats who own them and who, in turn, are owned by the dark-side spirit named by God and Jesus as Satan.
Whose side are you on? I speak truth to warn. I don't tell the secular government what to do other than occasionally to say what at least would be less hypocritical within their fallen, unenlightened system. I do so for spiritual reasons. What I want is the Christian Commons.
Now, if you submit a comment:
What you write here against the Real Liberal Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ will mark you in the Biblical sense unless you show that you have turned and are repenting in time to escape the damnation of your own choosing. That's the way of it. Don't be tempted by the devil to stand opposed to the call of righteousness. Overcome such evil temptation. Help others to help yet others to come to righteous behavior through-and-through.
Check out how even after reading this, people will still take it out of context and twist it to an evil end.
