Isaiah 2 isn't dealing with money. It's being used as an indicator that His people are walking in disobedience to God.

I disagree that Deuteronomy 4 is dealing with money. It's clearly dealing with physical idols.
You may believe what you want but money is made by the hands of men. It is lifeless!

You do not understand that the problem is not money, the problem is that human beings are under the influence of a powerful, deluding, evil spirit and are doing what he inspires them to do. Human nature is really the result of the Devil influencing people. Money is not the issue, the issue is this...

1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

The violation of the tenth Commandment.
What do you think you're under if I say getting rid of money will greatly benefit all of mankind and I get every excuse why we should keep believing debt is real. The world is $40 trillion in debt..... TO WHO???

God IS love.You might love string beans. I may hate them. Love isn't going anywhere.

12The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season,
and to bless all the work of thine hand:

and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.


13And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only,
and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God,
which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:


14And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day,
to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.



15But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God,
to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day;
that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:


16Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.


17Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.


18Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land,
the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

As has been said, the problem isn't the money, it's man's sinful nature. If you take away physical currency, the same problems will exist with bartering of goods or services. Arguing about money is akin to cutting off the head of the dandelion and not addressing its root.

Then let us see man's "sinful nature" at work with an honest question.

What harm will come from doing away with all money and simply GIVING AWAY all that we have to all for free? Everything you want and have will be free as well.
