Today,
reply is on delaying and postponing a saving relationship with Jesus
Christ while pursuing the aims and goals of business. Many will seek
to justify wrong-doing as correct and necessary when doing business.
Thus, Christian believers are admonished and warned about becoming
enslaved to fashion, riches, material things, and the operations of
the world (e.g., carnal reason, competition, self-promotion, vanity).
Through doctrine, prophecy, and teachings that have been examined
and tested using thousands of events, within thousands of lives, over
the course of thousand of years, divinity has exposed the danger of
immersing oneself in business, commerce, politics and trade, or
accumulating and administering wealth. Taken to the extreme, the
busyness of business always is an enemy of ones Spirit from GOD.
Because commitment to Christ is spoken of as joining oneself to GOD,
as love and as marriage, becoming overly impressed by the world is
described as adultery, fornication, transgression of divine law, and
whore-mongering. The Book of Revelation urges mankind to come out of
Babylon the Great, and to turn away from the Great Whore. Also it is
written: Romans 8: 5-9, King James Version (KJV): Romans 8: 5-9,
King James Version (KJV): 5 For they that are after the flesh do
mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the
things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the
carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in
the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any
man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. One of the
fighters at “Yahoo! Answers” who uses the ID “Anonymous” (no

Should
Jesus be put on the back burner when you have to violate his
teachings in the name of business?
Business
is business (except abortion clinics, apparently). “Forget Jesus.
He already died for my sins, so I’m done with him anyways. It’s
Paul’s teachings that I’ve got to follow now. One in particular:
‘Make as much money as humanly possible or die.’”
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to
my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto
him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? And he said
unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s
life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he
possesseth. (Luke 12: 13-15, KJV)

“Anonymous”,
among Christians, exaggerated desire and lust for money (we also say,
Mammon) is false worship that acknowledges a man-made thing in place
of the living GOD. Christian believers are to continually display
balance, consciousness of divinity, sacred knowledge,
and self-will (willpower) that are imparted from the substance of
GOD. Through divine seed (many say, sacred DNA), men and women on
the earth are to become recognizable as the sons and daughters of
GOD, joint-heirs with Jesus Christ, and the new creation.
Included in the fresh endowment of life essence (breath;
spirit; word) believers receive from GOD are inseparable aspects of
divine fullness such as faith, forbearance, holiness, oneness without
sameness, personhood, righteousness, wisdom, and wrath against sin.
Those who become “born again” are granted an ongoing relationship
with divinity as “developing believers” who must “grow up
again” while on the earth through accepting accountability,
commitment, discovery, enduring growing pains, gradual growth,
fellowship within a community of faith, sacred practices, unselfish
service, and suffering. All are to become mature/ripe for harvest by
the Savior at his Advent (we also say, his appearing, the Rapture,
the Second Coming). Becoming a child of GOD is a matter of love
being emanated and poured forth from divinity, rather than
transactions trafficking in flesh. Believers often speak in terms of
adoption, canceling debts, free gifts and grace, as well as being a
divine purchase. Consider again the following that uses language
from the Bible, and a selection from the music ministry of John
Michael Talbot:
1.)
1st Timothy 6: 7-11, King James Version (KJV): 7 For we
brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we
can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be
therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation
and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which
drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is
the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have
erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many
sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow
after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
2.)
1st Peter 5: 2-4, KJV: 2 Feed the flock of God which is
among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint,
but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither
as being lords over God’s
heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the chief
Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth
not away.
3.)
Acts 20: 28, KJV: 28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to
all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers,
to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own
blood.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 4.)

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
