Curious
words to put on money, particularly in a nation purporting to separate
church from state – let alone, the economy. Even amongst the
religious, precious few pray for god (or gods) to protect or bless
their money. Certainly health and wealth –plus, broad
concepts such as peace, love, and harmony. But money?
What does god have to do with money? I mean, its value is intrinsic,
isn’t it?
In the Old
Testament, money is mentioned thousands of times. Not dollars, pounds,
or drachma, but GOLD and SILVER. Moreover, no metal is more frequently
mentioned than gold – in dozens of different terms and
situations…

closely – of course – by silver…

I’m
more worried about violations of “church and state” than
“church and money,” but it certainly makes me think. Remember, in
America’s fiat currency system, “money” is backed
solely by full faith and credit in the government’s ability to
stand behind its “Federal Reserve Notes” – i.e. DEBT
– and, equally importantly, to maintain the value of such notes, which
it clearly has not done…
In other
words – per the subject of today’s RANT topic – it’s
all about confidence in the government, clearly waning with each
passing day. Switching to religious parlance, what’s the difference
between CONFIDENCE and FAITH? And when it comes to “dollars,” do
you have either? Or, conversely, what about PHYSICAL gold and silver bullion,
backed by intrinsic value, and not subject to anyone’s CONFIDENCE
or FAITH?
Then
again, the bible deems gold and silver money in thousands of
instances, and is widely-understood to be DIVINELY inspired.
PROTECT
YOURSELF, and do it NOW!
