#Bitcoin, the great blindspot in modern #Christianity . 👇
I have been in pastoral ministry for over a decade. In all my time I have been involved in many righteous causes, anti-abortion work, anti-porn work, mens ministries etc. And I am still involved in these causes!
But in all this, modern Christianity has a blind spot, monetary policy. When I learned how wicked and anti-bible the fiat monetary system was, it shook me. How did I miss this pervasive and pernicious injustice?
I began to speak to my congregation and help them to understand that fiat money was a moral injustice that God abhors. Their response was shocking! Some learned eagerly, others were offended and left the church!
Some just couldn't accept that the money they work so hard for, comes out of a beastly, unGodly system. They were unwilling to learn, they were TOO SPIRITUAL for the money talk.
Even now many Christians don't see this as an issue the Church should be speaking into. It's not a "gospel issue."
Right, because a beastly institution controlling money, enriching themselves, and impoverishing the poor more and more is not a "gospel issue." It's not like Jesus would have flipped tables in the temple over an issue like this.....
God's monetary policy is to use "a perfect and just weight." A money that is fair, equal and not manipulated to steal value from people.
I can't think of a more perfect and just weight than #Bitcoin. I can't think of a monetary network, that more perfectly embodies the principles of honesty, integrity and probity than #bitcoin.
Too be clear, #bitcoin is not the blind spot, but it has certainly EXPOSED the blind spot. We must repent from our apathy to the injustices in our land, and fiat money is a BIG one we've ignored for far too long......
