>go live into the forest

>>585596

like zacharias, use it to a different end

You can't. That's the tragety of it all. You need to accept it and the pain that comes with it. Resistance may only bring more pain. Either you live like this or you lose its luxuries and benefits. Pray to God to give you comfort. May you have a blessed day.

>>585596

Wtf I'm a communist now. I shouldn't have work for a living, everything should just be free and given to me. So what if the Bible teaches working hard is a virtue or that it's only idolatry if you have a love of money? It doesn't make me feel good. Wah feel bad for me cause I'm expected to hold a job like everyone else waaah

BOARDWIDE CURRENCYLESS WILDERNESS COMMUNE WHEN

You spend 12 hours every day working for food, shelter, protection, a wife, clothes etc.

Money is just there to ease the exchange.

>>585596

Well to truly break free would mean some drastic changes. Either realize you can't serve two masters and give it all up for the greater glory of God, or try your best not to succumb to the near-worship of money and use it to better yourself so that you may be more able to serve the Lord.

Believe me, it's a precious balance.

Materialism can’t defeat materialism. A communist type system can only work on a small scale and must be voluntary.

>>585804

It can never work because the removal of private property is intrinsically evil.

>>585826

Stealing is evil. Voluntarily sharing property isn’t evil, but it is liable only to work among small communities of people. I don’t think private property is inherently good, but Marxism’s attempts to abolish it have resulted in great evil.

>>585830

dude beer lmao

>god

First recognize it is trash pieces of useless paper and not a god. Then work towards doing literally everything yourself with no dependence upon others for anything including food and water. Maybe ask some christians for help getting there.

This anon >>586033 is 100% correct though. Communism implies you have the authority to dictate what God should do with His land, as God owns literally everything due to exodus 19:5 and other things.

>>586033

It's possible to have communities which hold property in common so long as membership of that communities is voluntary (monasteries and the billions of communes under whatever unique ideology). It's unjust and fairly untenable to impose it upon a society, but there's nothing wrong with people choosing to live like that.

>>586033

> But anon, communism is stealing

Depends what you mean by communism. All I meant was a system in which property is held in common. Of course most communists want to achieve such a system by killing or oppressing other people, because they are Marxists. But a system of common ownership is not in itself stealing, if it is entirely voluntary.

> It doesn't matter how small the community is. There is bound to be at least one person who objects to it, therefore it's not voluntary

Not really. If a bunch of people pool their resources together, buy some land, and start a commune there, then there is nothing involuntary or coercive about that. That’s why I’m saying that on a small enough scale, with enough dedicated people, on a purely voluntary basis, this sort of thing can work.

Become debt-free. That's my plan. Once you own everything you have, the money you get is ffor your pleasure and for the glory of God, not to pay your slave masters.

>>586155

You never really own everything you have. There's always property taxes.

>>585745

NOW

>>586148

Communism vs Commonism

Have some anderson

>>585744

Big difference between working for a living and working for gluttony

>>585804

That's why the 'commune of communes' theory is so good

>>586033

Remember the prince that refused to give up everything he owned for Jesus? All that happened to him was he wasn't welcome in the Kingdom of God.

Remember the couple in Acts who secretly kept money even though they were supposed to give up everything to join the church? God fucking killed them then and there. Hopefully nothing like that happens again, but you see the point Acts was making. Private property is still bad for the soul. Read Acts.

>>586126

Yes, absolutely yes.

>>586175

Is that the guy who thinks that the 1611KJV bible is literally God again?

More $/hr. Then relax and enjoy.

In other words…."Put yourself in a position to make it easier for us to harass you and try to manipulated you."

These actions of yours against the people of God are not in accordance with The teachings of Christ as we know them.

>>585596

First off, stop referring to the green Jew as God. Secondly It's not cash money that provides you with food, shelter, ect, it's the work you do.

>>586226

You sound like a renter. Spout that shid when you own some of your own land, commie.

>>586302

>hey guys, something is inherently wrong with the way things are

<commie

/christian/ never changes

>>586304

In that guy's defense, I am literally advocating for communal living, as it is the closest to the ideal society of the church during Acts. So communist may be the right word for me, even if I'm not Marxist-Lenist.

>>586304

>>586680

Okay, give everything you own to me & I'll do all your thinking for you.

>>586302

>Secondly It's not cash money that provides you with food, shelter, ect, it's the work you do.

What if said "work" is scratching a lotto ticket?

>>586706

Yes

>>586699

I was replying to OP who flat our said he was working 12 hours a day for steeze, stop buying lotto tickets at the WahWah & pay attention, fam.

>>586731

Cool, not many of you guys around here

>>585726

>>585769

This is bullshit. Op is talking about fiat currency, not anything with intrinsic value. YOU have to work hard for it meanwhile a group of Christ-rejecting Jews can print it off and steal from you.
