WANTING TO BE RICH

October 19, 2024 By Leave a Comment

“Want to be rich” ?
Not good—not good results—according to Jesus.

Wanting to be rich makes you poor in the parts that are for keeps.

“Those who want to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts.” —–Jesus

How many Americans,
How many American financial advisors,
How many American preachers,
would feel compelled to add some disclaimer, some comment to make Jesus’ words fit better in our affluent culture ?

The statement straight on might offend people and drive some away.
And that is exactly what happened when Jesus said it, and many other warnings about money.

Please read in order.
Out of personal respect for my friend, I am sharing only my side of the interaction.

In keeping my last statement, we will not continue this conversation.
I counted six references to Trump—did not read the text.

My response:

Ended, for the reason I stated.

Read my last text—you trashed my last such request, and continued more anti-Trump everything.

Repeating the mainstream media is not clear thinking.

I have a different source, for the truth, that you may never hear, or want to hear.
By the way, it includes half dozen Jewish programs and reporters every week.

Your comments, and quotes, and fears, and conclusions do not see the trouble we are in now because of the current administration.
– – –
America, and Americans, are much worse off than we were four years ago.
Maybe you can’t see it.
Maybe you are exempt.
The current leadership promises more of the same (she said “no changes”).
– – –
Everything I have said—you have responded with hell-bent blasting Trump—you have not respected me enough to set Trump aside to have a conversation about what has happened and where we are without Trump.
– – –
Will you be happy with a democrat win ?
Will changing America completely (as promised 16 years ago), and “the great reset” (proclaimed 4 years ago) really bring utopia ?
– – –
Okay, ______,
We will continue this conversation only without “Trump”.

Please re-read what I wrote, instead of your fixation against Trump based on relentless propaganda against him.
You miss my point, like many others so consumed with hate for the man, that you fail to see what is already devastating America, now.

The classic fact that democrats and the left and you are repeating the accusations and the horrors that you fear for America “if . . .” are the very things that those in power now are successfully waging against America to bring it down.

Historically, psychologically—accuse and criticize others most severely for the wrongs one practices yourself, to deflect attention and blame, while you gain power to control all.

I’ve been involved long enough to guess that you won’t let go of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, hatred for the person—long enough to hear what I say.
So be it.
But it would be decent if Trump were set aside long enough to talk about where we are now, and where we are headed “with no changes”, as Harris stated.

Listening to the non-stop blaming everything on Trump for what has gone wrong under the current administration, I have to say, “I didn’t know Trump was president the last 3 3/4 years.
It is a silly, serious blame game and fearmongering, so you can’t or won’t see the trouble the democrat leadership got us in and pledges to continue.
We have third world tyranny underway now—can’t blame Trump.
