Money is not what is evil, for gold and silver are good and righteous money, paper money and fiat currency specifically is what is evil. This new form of money is a recent global phenomenon of the last 100 years, for gold and silver before this time was money for thousands of years. You have not understood why fiat currency is evil.
You don't learn too good, and you're obviously not too bright either. You got your tail bounced out of here last year, and now you're back with the same lame game.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

Permaculturalists do actually believe the energy will run out (oil crisis) etc. Thats why they prepare.
But there are alternative sources of energy.

I did a PDC the onky caveat was a lot of permies were people who already had land. But most people dont own any and have to make do with what they are given, which can be very poor or degraded land. Ive got clay. Its hard work and you have to keep working with it to get it fertile again.

quick fix fertilisers dont work in the long run.
The thing is its hard to go off grid when you are tied to the grid and alternatives are more expenisve than the status quo. You have to basically retrofit everything.

Our decisions on exactly how the end days will by worked out by the Lord is a copy of the decisions the Pharisees made about the coming of the messiah. God has never in all his prophecies told just how He is working out the prophecy, and God hasn't told us about how He is working out the last days.

With all these ideas of how God will do it, I hope we aren't getting it as wrong as the Pharisees did.

What we need, only, is faith in the Lord to listen for His voice at all times.

without having read the thread at all -- let me go ahead and utterly destroy the premise by mentioning one simple fact:

gold is fiat currency.

Gold is not fiat currency. The value of gold is based on weight. 1 ozt of gold today is the same 1 ozt of gold tomorrow. Whereas the value of paper money is merely an illusion. One piece of paper says $5, another sames $10. It is imaginary money. Today it has one value, and tomorrow another. Fiat currency.

the fact that gold's value is declared by discrete units doesn't make it any less fiat currency.

you cannot eat it. it does not keep you warm. it does not provide shelter. it is exchanged for actual useful things by an agreed upon measure whereby it represents actual wealth. "fiat"

your argument is laughable, and not scriptural. this isn't 'Bible discussion'

It is not fiat, because 1 ozt of gold is a true measure of gold. Like 1 lbs of rice. Or 2 lbs of corn. These are true values of weights of things. That is why gold money is stable, because its value is true. Whereas the value of paper money and fiat currency is merely an illusion, an imaginary number assigned to a piece of paper. Which is a value the banks can control, to their advantage, to cause debt. It is a ponzi scheme. All fiat currencies eventually collapse. As Voltaire wrote, "paper money eventually reaches its true intrinsic value, zero". That is the very reason Venezuela is hungry, because of the collapse of a worthless form of money, fiat currency.

it is fiat, because gold is not wealth. it is not useful except for representing usefulness. it is only useful because 'by declaration ((fiat))' it represents actual things which are needful. all currency is fiat. barter isn't.

your argument is worthless, and it's not 'Bible discussion'

It has nothing to do with "usefulness". The mere numbers in your bank account are even less useful than gold. "Usefulness" is not what makes money money. Money is something everyone agrees is valuable, and uses to buy and sell. Gold is money, and has been used as money for thousands of years. Whose value was based on weight. People bought and sold according to the weight of gold. That is why the Torah commands righteous weights and balances, to weigh gold accurately, to buy and well with. Whereas the value of the money today is merely an illusion. Its what impoverishes the world. Its why the founding fathers of the USA were completely against it. I'm not preaching anything new. Just only preaching to pigs who have absolutely no understanding.

let's actually talk about the Bible, instead of ridiculous argumentation over lust for money.
we're Christians, right?
The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,
but the poor does not hear rebuke.

(Proverbs 13:8)
what use was the gold in the temple when the glory of the LORD departed?
it invited envy, destruction and pillaging, and that is all it was good for.
real wealth is in God: more precious than rubies, more valuable than gold, is wisdom, to fear Him and love Him only

To God gold is asphalt. He paves his streets with it.

I always do get sad to see how truly lost this generation is, including most believers like yourself. It won't be long before you all realize I was right regarding the money of today. Then you will regret not believing me when you had the chance to, and honoring the only man that will ever tell you this truth, from a random online forum.
If paper money was the mark of the beast then that would mean anyone who has used it even once is going to hell once you take the mark there is no turning back, plus they are trying to get rid of paper and coin and make it digital why would they take away the mark?

All sins will be forgiven man, including using false weights, so long as someone gets rid of the false weight. Getting rid of fiat currency is a test of belief and obedience, because it is very difficult to live outside the financial system, but not impossible. Digital money is a form of fiat currency, just as paper money is another form of fiat currency. That is why "paper money AND fiat currency" are the mark of the beast. Two distinct things. Just as the prophecy mentions two distinct things regarding the mark of the beast, the name, and the number of the name.

I’m not sure if you’ll still be around to read this.
Quickly, l want to ask.

Do you believe God gives each of us the answers to things ( all things) that puzzle us?
You sound sure that you may be right?

Well, God have me what l believe is a different answer to all of this.
Come to think of it, there are dozens of members here who claim the same as what l just said...yet, they are multiple claims?

They all don’t jive? One of us may be right, all may be wrong , but one thing is sure...we all can’t be right.
Agreed?

So who is right?

You say to believe you? So my main question is this....why did God inform you and not all of us?
I should trust what God tells me? We established that in my first few sentences.
Cause God will give us the answers we seek, correct?
Since we all came to a stalemate...now l should trust you, cause you feel God told you specifically?

So....
Trust you over what l feel is Him now?

Just wondering,
Thx.

But, but, but, how do you justify SPENDING all that evil money on pre paying for everything.
Do you really think God will bless your efforts when you use evil means to obtain all your stuff?
That's like saying "let me sin all I want now and abound in unrighteousness and be filled with evil, but I will escape judgment because I'm going to abstain for 3 years".

It actually is not.

Gold has value in and of itself.

All sins are forgiven yes but the mark is another matter entirely it is a mark that you pledge your allegiance with the antichrist with you pretty much hand over your soul
The mark is coming and is even here now, you think it an accident they want to turn cash currency to digital? the fact that even now they are getting more and more people to take an rfid chip and they use ink tatoos as well you can even scan the ink tatoo to not just buy and sell but bring up your medical hostory as well as even open your front door.

The mark is coming they are getting peop[le ready for it but when it comes it will be either take it or die I don't see that with money we have now do you?

Because God chooses who he wishes to grant understanding to.
