OP, I like your moxie

Valued points, Thanks.

You know what confessor person? You’re good people.

While I don’t want to start a religious debate, (I think we oughtta wrap this up) I don’t think that verse meant money literally is “evil,” I think it means greedy people tend to use it to justify their wrong actions, or use it as their prime motivation to do wrong. It’s warning you not to let “money” influence you to much to do wrong.
 
It’s ok to earn/have money, or even be “rich,” (heck alot of rich people donate to charity, and help people) just don’t do bad things to obtain it, (Like stealing, and such) or “love” it to much…

It has always been a sign of people being insecure and immature with their own sexual kinks that feel the need to bash others for what turns them on.
 
As long as they are not hurting anything or anyone in real life with what arouses them, you have no grounds to give them a hard time for it.

I’d add more but it’s 9:30 PM and I’m tired and i realize my brain isn’t functioning as it would after enough sleep.

@Techy Pony
 
I don’t either - Just that some of the means of acquiring it, Are not worth doing.

@BarryFromMars  
Money basically comes down do bartering one’s time spent and perceived value of that time spent. I see nothing /inherently/ wrong with money.

@Beau Skunky
 
Thanks for reminding me of that. It’s really the Greed of money, Not the use of it? Wait a minute, Why did the back of my head feel hot? I was going to say there’s the Bible verse saying “The love of money is the root of many/all evil” But does that verse actually mean the Lust of it? Money in its purest form is merely a means of exchange, Yes? Such as bartering an orange for an apricot.

@BarryFromMars  
Yeah, Jesus didn’t hate people, just the bad things they did.
 
Also, some Christians wrongfully take that line about “money VS God” to far, and think making any money, being rich, or a successful business person automatically make you “bad,” and such. Which isn’t the case.  
It’s talking about “greed.” You can like making money, and working for it, just don’t get greedy, and nasty.

@Beau Skunky
 
I read that Jesus rebuked the Pharisees (Religious leaders of the time) a lot, I interpret it in such a way as he hated what they were doing but didn’t hate them. It also reads in the Bible something like “You cannot worship both God and Money.” (At the same time.) Still, Is it a bit off to judge without knowing the whole story?
 
@PonyCat
 
I’m not saying you don’t. Does anyone who care, Care regardless of what language they speak?
 
And I wonder if there are books missing from the common Bible or not.

Y’know, I don’t like Rule 34, (I don’t mind a li’l sexyness/risque’ fanart though) but one of my first conversations with a brony online was with a “clopper,” and he was a nice guy, and respected I wasn’t into the pr0n. He didn’t talk about anything gross, and we just talked about the show.
 
@BarryFromMars  
I wonder if Jesus was also refering to those “all-mighty-dollar”-worshipping preachers on TV. My Dad (a major Christian) got angry, and cussed-one out the TV, when one said something like if you don’t send him money, you’re “robbing God.”

@BarryFromMars  
Well that’s fine if you think that way, just remember there are people like me without religion that care just as much as any human being.

Did the comments seriously turn into this?

@RainbowBrony  
You talking about the people talking about chastity?

guys, this is a fandom of 13\38 or older\younger year old girls and mostly guys, how do you expect them to not have urges?

brb getting popcorn to read these comments

I also add, I suggest anyone here be careful of what they believe. I’ve done dumb things in the past and wasn’t feeling quite alright while posting at various times in this thread, So anything I did say? See if it’s true. If it’s not and hurts or harms, Don’t believe it. It even says in the Bible that Jesus said “Many will come in my name saying ’I am he, The time has come” But they are NOT him.

@PonyCat
 
“Anyone can show kindness and understanding of others with or with out religious ideals.”
 
You know what, I think I should be careful and ask questions and find the truth and live it, Because I was feeling rather odd just a moment ago with what I was going to post. There’s something in the New Testament saying “There’s one teacher, The rest of you are learners.” And really if I were to say something wrong thinking it’s true then that’s just wrong.

@JakeTheSpy  
Yes, good place ^^

@PonyCat  
Yes, but soo many seem to think people can’t and then end up thinking they’re superior due to their religion.

@PonyCat  
That’s a good note to end this on.  
Right?  
Guns click  
…right?

Anyone can show kindness and understanding of others with or with out religious ideals.

giving without receiving? I’m pretty sure that’s an anybody thing.
