Stupid Man! Money does not get you into paradise
, it leads you straight into hell!Stupid Man! Money does not get you into paradise, it leads you straight into hell!
Everybody is out to get money in the fastest and shortest possible way. You are not an exception, unless you are an ascetic living in a cave in the mountain, eating lizards and drinking rain water.
These are very, very few. Once in a while you hear of such a wise man, after all, did not Diogenes live in a barrel? When asked by Alexander the Great what favor he can do the philosopher, he demanded of Alexander to move away from his sun, for the general, standing in front of him, was shading the sun.
Diogenes went about with a lantern looking for an honest man, but found none. But we are not all Diogenes. We are humans and we are stinking ones at that. We all look for money and work for money. We all live for money. Did ever meet a man, or a woman, who did want money?
God does not exist for most of us, but money does. Money has always been, except for the Biped Neanderthal, a goal for life. It has always turned the head of everyone. Money opens all doors, Napoleon I confirmed. He new the value of money for he conquered other empires for it and fought many wars for it and scarified millions of human beings to get it, not forgetting the glory side of the story for the Megalomaniac.
Money buys everything. It gets you what you want, property, bank accounts, cars, yachts, travel, luxury, comfort , prestige and above all power. Money is absolute power. It is not presidents and leaders of countries who decide but the wealthy do.
A state is measured by its share of money. Money can buy you humans. The Saudis know it and so the Sultan of Brunei. Money gets as many women as possible, as many men as possible. Money buys you health and buys you fame and renown.
But, money does not buy you a place in paradise. Stupid Popes in the Middles Ages sold their stupid fiddles at the time Forgiveness Bonds which meant a parcel of land in Paradise. But this is absolute bullshit, for the Vatican Church needed money at the time and the Popes found an ideal way to embezzle people out of their money.
But money does not get you anything in paradise, but rather gets you a lodge in the front row in hell fire. Christ said that rich people do not enter paradise until the Camel gets through the hole of the pin of the tailor.
This is simple to understand, for money taking the shape of the devil, takes away your interest in the hereafter and makes you focus your interest on this world. Your interest is no more how to acquire a place in paradise but how to acquire a place in this world. You do not care about paradise, for who certain there is a paradise? And even though you believe in paradise, how can you be sure to get a place in it?
There is nothing that grants you such a privilege. There are no insurance company that guarantees you any place there. And you can not see paradise, nor see God with your open eyes, so why stake yours chances on an unseen hereafter and forsake this world for something you have no proof?
But, what ever money you amass, property you gather and whatever riches and wealth obtains for you and guarantees your good life, nothing of your wealth and money gets you a place in paradise. All Scriptures do not uphold money, riches and wealth, for one moment, as criterion for entering paradise and evading hell.
The only criterion for escaping hell fire and obtaining a place in paradise are your belief and your good deeds.
All Scriptures proclaim that if you have no belief in God and the day of reckoning you have no place in paradise but your future abode is assured in Hell Fire. If do not believe in God and the Day of Judgment and spend all your wealth in charity you have no one chance in getting into paradise.
All depends on your choice. If you are a money worshipper you forsake God and the devil takes possession of your soul, losing your self in the hereafter. Life is too short to look for money and forget your God and most people do. And there is one life to prove yourself worthy of a place in the hereafter and this life is nothing but an illusory deception. Money buys you things as you please but snatches your soul.
Christ rejected all kingdoms of the world and the worship Satan instead of God. When a wealthy rich tradesman asked Christ how to earn paradise, Christ asked him to leave behind him his property, wealth and family and to follow him. But the rich man was so much attached to his money and property and his family and abstained from leaving everything and follow the footsteps of Christ.
He lost himself and his paradise. Korah, a very wealthy man, whose keys of his property was so heavy that few men could not carry it, we are told in the Old Testament, as well as in the Qur'an, preferred this worldly life and said: Should I return to my Lord, he would surely have a good place for me in Paradise.
But the arrogant rich man ended up dead when he was struck by a sudden earthquake that destroyed him and all his arrogant family with him.
So, you have the choice between being another Korah, like the rest of your fellow inhumans, or be like Christ.
