Re: I have A Dangerous Idea.

I had an idea once that I would gather a bunch of people to start a business. And the business would be to offer services that people charge for free. Of course these people would have to not be greedy, and not easily tempted. They would have to be FULL of love, and not contentious. WHY? Because there will be all sorts of opposition to this business. WHY?
Think about it. If a person has been making 1,000,000,000 dollars a year selling a certain product and I GIVE the same product for free, then he looses his income, especially if the product I give is for free. To any of you with a wicked and evil heart, the Lord God will judge all sinners and evil doers. Purify your heart first, then you can hear this!!!
Let's take a very natural case. Gas. Some say that if I were to create, or know, a way to run a car using water, I would put the economy out of order. They say that I would take away the need, which isn't a need for people to buy gas seeing as gas is the means to the economy, which it isn't (They said the same thing about slaves.) Whoever can hear this hear it!!!!
So a part of this idea is that the root of all evil is the love of riches. Once you start affecting the riches (which are held dear in the heart), the true riches of the kingdom of heaven are hated. Once you attempt to conquer evil with love it all starts getting heated. Once you start tearing down that den of thieves it all gets heated.
Yes. I will tell you something more, I will not grow weary in well doing. I have an idea of the Lord, that for the sake of love, which has been shown to me, I will be hated within and without churches also. Not churches only, but the world. So I take comfort in these words:
John 7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
John 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
John 7:8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.

While I'm all for cheaper gas, and I certainly would never object to free gas, while this is a fun idea, there is no way on earth you could have company that provides something for free and be able to keep it going, not to mention if you have employees they're going to want to be paid unless if this was a volunteer on the side thing while working a regular job. But still in the end you'd end up bankrupt while the rich would probably laugh and continue doing business as usual. Now if you were already a multi-billionaire, this would be a cool idea to see put into action... but again, it's a fun idea, but not a realistic one. Now if you could convince someone like Bill Gates to buy up all the gas companies and give us free gas, I'd salute you, sir! (And yes I know you're referring to more than just gas but you mentioning it just makes me angry because I know I need to fill up my tank soon).
