>>21751136Don't be rude, he is quoting that because Mammon is yet another old fashioned way to refer to money (basically materialism).
So you cannot serve both Jesus (Understood in the spiritual sense not the physical sense) and the material god (Understood as earthly pleasures, money, women, etc).
My counter argument is the following
The Logos is meant to represent the Great Order of the Universe, you are opposing materialism because your religion is born out of Platonic and Socratic tradition which establishes that there is a material world and a spiritual world.
John 1:1
>In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.You see, this is a mistranslation from the Greek, the original word used here was LOGOS which then got translated literally as 'word'
This is important because i then tell you this, Christianity whether we like it or not has its roots in ancient religions which influenced its multiple authors (this is why the books in the bible were originally written in different languages, one of which is 'revelations' which was actually the only one written originally in Greek and is one of the most controversial books for this very reason)
Anyways, my point here is that when you are opposing materialism it is because in the ancient philosophy of Pythagoreans (Literally proto-hippies) they literally spurned material wealth because they considered it to be evil because the material world was considered to be evil. (This is something that they share with Gnostics, which believe the material world to be the creation of an evil god to trap human souls inside)
Basically my point here is that you are opposing materialism because ancient hippies infiltrated your religion to give you a confused understanding of true spiritualism and materialism in order to trick you into believing that there is such thing as an alternate reality in which god resides (There isn't)
