God shares with the rich, but the unGodly rich will not share with Men
Although 83 percent of the USA is Christian, we are living in a USA, where many employers, have become enemies of Christianity, Christians, and Christians.
One Timothy Six Seventeen to Nineteen, found in a letter to Timothy from the St. Paul who according to the faith without works crowd is the father of the faith without works doctrine, says: "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be haughty neither to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth but in God, who so richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Urge them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous givers, to practice sharing, and to treasure up for themselves a sound foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that is really life."
Try putting the above on your resumes and see how far you will get with today's American employers.
American employers these days react to quotes such as One Timothy 6:17-19, with petulance: "we're the rich!"; which at least shows, that even they understand, that the One Timothy 6:17-19 , is talking about rich sharing with persons who are not rich. They understand, but they take offense, because they have managed to convince themselves that the rich should not share with those who are not rich, because those who are not rich are supposed to be class enemies of the rich.
(As an exception, the selfish rich allow for "sharing" that results in a payback for the "generous" rich person that exceeds the amount of money that has been shared, they allow for "sharing" that superficially appears to result in a transfer from the rich to the not rich when actually it produces the reverse or hides the transfer from rich to not rich).
Beyond petulance, certain of the American employer class has manifested their aversion to Christianity by plunging into Satanism, Atheism, Islamism, Judaism, Hinduism, etc etc., religions and philosophies that put less ethical burdens on the rich than Christianity does.
This general rejection of Christian ethics regarding the responsibilities of the rich, goes hand in hand with an attitude that relaxation is what produces real religious experience and happiness, which is an attitude that simply ignores the possibility that stress--there are forms of mental and physical stress that produce health--could lead to religious experience, a high mental state, and happiness.
Nevertheless, it is reasonable to expect that in order to enter into heaven, men have to be God-like, because God dwells in heaven, God created heaven. It is also reasonable to see, that obviously, there is nothing God-like, about the rich being selfish and ungenerous with those who are not rich.
God has unlimited wealth, yet he shares his unlimited wealth with mankind, including the rich amongst mankind would not have any riches were it not for God. By way of contrast, many of the rich, refuse to share with the not rich and attack those who advocate such conduct.
God shares his wealth with mankind including the rich amongst a mankind that would be poor were it not for God, even though He, God, can see that all members of mankind, will end up sinning to the point that they deserve to be damned, so that their damnation can work its spiritual effects on those (angels, humans, animals) who end up not being damned. By way of contrast, many of the rich, refuse to share with persons who are not rich, on the grounds that the not rich, are unworthy of having things shared with them.
God shares his wealth with mankind even though mankind is in a completely different class than God is; yet the selfish amongst the rich believe in class warfare vs those of a different class.
God shares his wealth with mankind, even though the difference between God and mankind is enormous compared to the difference between the rich amongst mankind and the rest of mankind. Yet the selfish rich share only with their own families, on the grounds that such sharing is appropriate only with those who are the most biologically, genetically similar to their own selves.
So therefore, obviously, there is nothing God-like about the failure of the rich to share with and be humble with those who are not rich.
The haughtiness of the haughty rich vis a vis those who are not rich, results in various types of denial of reality.
The reality, is that bad luck and good luck both exist in the world. This reality is denied, it is alleged that bad luck and good luck have nothing to do with financial status. The reality is, that the sins of men, envy, jealousy, selfishness etc., create financial disorder in society. This reality also, is denied.
The financial order that exists in society, with the rich on top, is a kind of sacred cow; the selfish amongst the rich can not bring themselves to admit that the financial order is in any sense, in reality, a disorder.
Such psychotic denials of reality, result in the foolishness wherein the skills and abilities of persons who have fallen low in the economic pecking order go unused.
In today's USA if someone quoted the Christian proverb which states that "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God", such a person would likely end up being ostracized or worse by employers and their lackeys.
From a Christian perspective, one would expect to find the light of God in today's society, in Christian men who are not rich; if the rich control who gets riches and the rich have a tough time knowing God and God's will, one would expect wisdom to be found amongst those who are not rich; yet in today's society, Christian men who are not rich are like untouchables in Hindu society, because they have two strikes against them: one, they are not rich, and two, they are Christian.
What we have in today's America, is men of wealth, who have organized themselves into groups that employ persons. Many of these groups that employ persons, put absolutely nothing above the profit motive. They even pass laws that basically demand that such employing groups put nothing above the profit motive.
These groups, which are deformed versions of the kind of employing groups that Christians have historically seen as potentially positive forces in society, would not even exist were it not for Christians; yet such employing groups have various excuses for tossing out Christians, Christianity, and Christendom, excuses which make perfect mathematical sense to their profit motive obsessed minds such as: Christianity will interfere with sales to non-Christians; Christianity will push up labor costs; Christianity will push up taxes; Christianity will interfere with the criminality that is a necessary part of profit maximization, etc. etc.
Such groups of amoral, criminal, anti-Christian, unethical, profit obsessed, acquisitive persons are obviously a real threat to Christianity and the Christian society that produced them; they resemble gangs of Anti-christs who murder and steal and rape. Yet it seems nobody in the societies that these groups parasitize, ever even bothers to think about how this problem of criminal satanic money worshipping gangs can be solved.
Christianity when mispracticed or misinterpreted, can result in the separation of the souls of living persons from God, and can result in persons going to hell when they die instead of to heaven. Yet on the whole, Christianity is a force that results in more persons being closer to God while they are alive, more person entering into heaven when they die. Although many non-Christians will not admit it, many of the thoughts words and actions that non-Christians are proud of are rooted in Christianity.
The demise of Christians, Christianity, and Christendom, is thus an extremely serious problem for Christian and non-Christian alike. Yet what we have, is non-Christians failing to understand how the things they are proud of and cherish and admire, have Christian roots, Christians leading apathetic un-Christian lives, and Christians being effeminate with evil forces.
