Christian Capitalists, what ramifications would Christ's Second Coming have on the Free market economy?

Question

How would the Kingdom of Heaven effect your portfolio?
Was He serious about Matthew 6:24 and all that camel walking through the eye of the needle stuff.
How do you rationalize both of your beliefs?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as a "Christian capitalist."

The Bible says, "Love not the world neither the things that are in the world for if any man love the world the love of the Father
is not in Him. And all that is of the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father but
of the world, and the world passes away and the lust therof, but he that does the will of the Father shall live forever."

It further says, "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God, set your affections on things above, not on things of the earth, for ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God."

Further it states, "For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul, or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul."

Every "true believer" knows this to be true and the pursuit of wealth for wealth's sake is repulsive to them. Money is only a tool to help others, provide the necessities of life and advance the cause of Christ while we live on this planet.

Answer 2

at the beginning, there is massive fake impact related to "the attention of the needle." the single stated with the aid of Jesus grew to become right into a small door (for persons) beside the gates of the city of Jerusalem. regularly camels undergone the massive gate, yet with some attempt could desire to pass with the aid of the needle door, i.e., the attention of the needle, and did so often in cases whilst, for in spite of reason, the gates weren't opened. Secondly, as a Christian my difficulty does not be what occurred to the loose industry financial device. that is a topic for others.

Answer 3

In the first place, when He returns, our economy is over.

Now, as far as Mt. 6:24, the point was not about wealth or whether it is wrong or not. There is nothing that says wealth is wrong. It says that the LOVE of money is the root of evil. The real point of this scripture is that we can't have anything that stands in God's way or in the way of us doing His will. If money is a block, we have to ask God what to do with it, instead of putting it in the place of God. After all, it also says that a man cannot serve two masters. God prefers His people to have only One, but makes the point clear that people make the choice. If they choose to follow Him, they likely have to unload whatever it is which will prevent them from a more full walk with Him.

So, one must look at the full context of scripture before coming to a questionable conclusion.

Answer 4

In heaven there will no longer be any buying or selling. No more money and no more portfolio. Why?

Because in heaven you can have whatever you want whenever you want, so there will be infinite supply to meet whatever demand exists. In a situation with infinite supply the price will drop to zero. Everything is free so there would be no need of money and thus no need to work to support yourself.

Answer 5

It would be Kaput, over, done for, we will have the Lamb.

YOu forgot to read the last verse of that passage,

THe disciples said to Jesus "if this is true than who can be saved" and Jesus replied

"For man it is impossible but with God nothing is impossible"

Answer 6

Everything will be all gone, of no use. Heaven is the best portfolio.

Answer 7

You fail to understand and lack the knowledge concerning the Government of Jesus Christ and what this will be like at His return.......Allow me to enlighten you to this fact........Jesus Christ will usher in a literal kingdom, the Kingdom of God, on earth. But this is not the end of the story. Notice Revelation 11:15: "Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!'"

Jesus Christ will establish His reign over the nations in a literal kingdom. This kingdom is depicted in Revelation 20:3-7 as lasting 1,000 years. Yet, in the verse quoted just above, we are told that "He shall reign forever and ever." In other words, the thousand-year reign (commonly called the Millennium, Latin for "thousand years") is just the beginning of Jesus Christ's eternal reign in the Kingdom of God.

It is God's desire that all humans become members of His family in the Kingdom of God (2 Peter 3:9). As part of this process, God is now calling some individuals to inherit eternal life at the return of Jesus Christ to earth (1 Corinthians 1:26-28; Matthew 20:16; John 6:44, 65), with others to be called later. Those being chosen now will accept Christ as their Savior, surrender their wills to God's will and strive to overcome sin in their lives (Revelation 3:21).

Jesus Christ is referred to as "the firstborn among many brethren" (Romans 8:14-17, 29; Revelation 1:5-6; Colossians 1:15-18). In the resurrection at Christ's return, "we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him . . ." (1 John 3:2). At that time, those who have died in the faith will be resurrected, and those who are alive in the faith will be changed. Both will become spirit beings and members of the family of God (2 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Corinthians 15:42-53). They will then serve with Christ on the earth as kings and priests during His millennial rule (Revelation 5:10; 20:4). King and priest are both offices held by Christ. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:15-16). He is also our High Priest (Hebrews 3:1; 4:14-16; 5:5-6; 6:20; 7:24-28; 8:1-6; 9:11; 10:12). Others will share in His responsibilities, also as kings and priests, serving under Him to carry out the Father's will (Revelation 5:10).

Those who will become priests in the Millennium will be responsible for teaching people to discern between "the unclean and the clean," a phrase which includes the concept of helping them discern good from evil (Ezekiel 22:26; 44:23-24). As messengers from God, they will teach the law of God and make known its meaning and application (Malachi 2:7-9).

One of the responsibilities of a king in the Old Testament was to write the words of God's law and "read it all the days of his life" so he would carefully observe it and not turn aside from it (Deuteronomy 17:18-20). Those who are made kings and priests in the Kingdom of God will be those who have allowed God to write His laws in their hearts and minds while they are still human beings (Hebrews 8:10-11; Jeremiah 31:33).

As kings during the Millennium, they will teach God's way of life to humans still living (Isaiah 30:20-21). They will administer God's government in those areas in which Jesus Christ will give them responsibilities (Matthew 19:27-28; Luke 19:11-19). They will be completely subject to Christ's will, just as He is completely subject to the Father's will (John 5:30). As joint heirs with Christ, they will assist Him in teaching and governing mortals on the earth (Revelation 5:10).

God's great plan encompasses all mankind. The Great White Throne Judgment, described in Revelation 20:11-13, reveals that all human beings who have died without ever understanding that great plan will be resurrected and have their true destiny revealed to them. God's plan is comprehensive. All humanity will enjoy the opportunity to learn God's truth and come to repentance (1 Timothy 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9). This will be during the time beyond the Millennium when the vast majority of human beings will be raised from the dead to receive their opportunity for salvation. Those who repent and accept Christ as their Savior will receive the gift of everlasting life in the family of God, finally achieving their God-given destiny.
