As every christian on the earth is blessed and is promised great blessing. What would be the result of millions of Christians coming to geither to group there money into pools. Then that money would be used to buy up large profitable companies. The results are that christians would be first in line for jobs. And the company would be owned in whole by the christians in the pool.
This chain would continue and the christian company would be open to all main stream christians and you could buy stock in the company with no overheld from buying the stock. This would creat a roll back toof profits from a lifetime to all the people bying stock in the fund. So what do you think. The company would only allow christians to join it and to buy stock in it? So would you be interested?

Let me explain christian sow a part of there money into owning stock in a company that in turn provides for there retirements and provides them with a good return which they can use to promote th gosple of Christ. So you sow and reap in other words and the company you own hires you or your children as need be. In other words a win win and by the way it is 100 percent legal.

Remember Jesus turned over the tables of the seller's in the temple. While it is nice to help friends and to work with honest people, Money should not be a primary goal of Christians.

And if I had money to buy stocks but am not christian, would you say no to my money? What if I am not your denomination of christian? What if I say I am but lie? How would you know?
Then the job thing: If I work 7 days a week because I don't go to church, I am more productive than all of the other employees. Would you fire a more desireable employee?
I gotta tell, it's been done to me. I am still employed and do not want for anything.

I'm a Christian but I think it's quite unfair for us to only allow Christians to join and buy stock. I'm interested in seeing Christians being leaders over something,but we can only call ourselves the light and salt of the world like Christ want us to be if we get involved with non-believers as well.

Would they only hire christians? I believe that would be religious discrimination, and I'm pretty sure that's illegal. And even if it somehow worked, a lot of companies and people would refuse to do business with you.
What kind of Christian would you hire? Would the denomination matter? For example, I am a Southern Baptist, some Southern Baptists have problems with Catholics and vice versa... how would you make sure there was no discrimination in the work-place over denomination? Some Christians are pro-life, others are pro-choice? Would that be a factor? What would you consider to be a Christian..? Would there be rules we would have to follow? Would we have to go to church every Sunday and volunteer?
Would a 10% tithe on our paychecks be a requirement?
What would the company do on Sundays, Christmas and Easter? Would it just shut down?
How would you turn away someone who was buddhist, or jewish who desperately needed a job to feed his or her family? Doesn't the bible tell you to love your neighbor? Would you reject hiring him/her because of their beliefs and turn them away? What would Jesus say about that?
What would happen to the company after the rapture?
How would they make sure (prove) that their employees were really Christians? Its not something you can really check... a lot of people say they are Christians, but deep down they really just say that because their parents are, but they aren't sure what they really believe. Sure, you could check and see if they went to church, but they could easily be faking it just to get the job...
No, I wouldn't be interested, sorry. Sounded like a good idea to begin with though.

That is not our purpose as Christians. The seeking wealth is not Christ-like. We are supposed to do only that which glorifies the Father and Son and Holy Spirit. Blessings come from obedience to the Word of Jesus, not monopolizing business. Father God forbid that such as you suggest happen again.

i am not quite sure what you are bringing about here, however I have heard of a christian organization that does gifting, and that appears to be legal. I am a christian and the bible says, they the people who are not will know we are christians by our love. Now we are not to judge as we all have to grow in love, the two great commandments are Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself. So we love God because He first loved us, and then we love our neighbor, even the ones who do us harm, and we can only do that with the Lords help, of which He does when we ask Him. I am sure there are organizations in the world that do similar things like what you are saying and there are rules and regulations that not every one can participate unless they are like them.
Now the Bible says we are to let our light shine and be christ like, of which He went about doing good and that is what we are to do as well, and as I see it it would not be good to all people. My opinion.

Illegal on several counts. And why would you want to? Would you hire an unqualified christian over a qualified buddhist? Do you realize most people in the world are not christian? Many would refuse to do business with you, non-evil christians as well as non-.

if the efforts of religion and war were channeled into charity imagine what a world it would be ! Most companies and religions are already hoarding wealth under the name of god . the Islamic Nations already own one third of wall street according to the news.
peace out

maybe you missed the whole Tower Of Babel bible story as a kid? Even so if TRUE Christians did(and I doubt) build something like this they would never turn anyone away for no being a Christian, that is not what we believe.

Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple (John 2:13-17)
And what does he say:
Take these things hence, make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. -John 2:16
This is what Christ wants, you are saying the opposite.
