Because then nobody would work. I work to feed my family, if I could do that for free there would be no need for me to work. If I don't do my job then those who rely on my profession would suffer. Who would be policemen, firemen, doctors? Who would manufacture things? Deliver these goods? The idea certainly is beautiful... But we'd be much worse off if everything was free.
You do understand that these things can be done without money? What of those 30000 children who can never get a job to earn money? Is God starving them or are we?
There isn't one reason that any of you provided as to why we need money.
All I see is FEAR of what might happen if you don't have any!
A piece of PAPER!
HOW LONG oh Israel must you continue to serve your own imaginations!?

At least 76% of americans live day to day (paycheck to paycheck) like slaves enjoying whatever they may afford, visiting what little part of the world if any at all, FOR WHAT? TO DIE IN THE END?
Money will fall, but you still are going to be hungry, abs I would rather work to feed ALL than to for a meaningless piece of paper.
Most manufacturing today are done by machines. 98% of jobs become meaningless.
There are 7 billion people living in this planet. If only 1 in a thousand thought like me, that'll be 7 MILLION people willing to work only that all may enjoy all things freely!
There are presently more than that number in the world willing to be included among the 76% of americans struggling ALONE.
What I say is inescapable, look around you please.
Today our phones alone is not only just that, but a computer, a multimedia player, a camera and recorder, a video game and much more!
We have enough of EVERYTHING! From people to resources, but we would rather kill people off in order to profit off of these resources (the creature) being evidenced by all that no man can claim the earth by means of death!
I'm sorry friend but God don't pay no bills, neither do those of His family.

When we think of working we think 12 hour shift to pay the bills. Working with our hands in the fields,hunting,farming, wouldn't that be so much more free of burden, having our families together and really knowing the true meaning of love of life and not money? We are worth much more than paper that we give value to, the love of money is such a strong obstacle to overcome because it is the most blinding but all things come from the earth, did God not give us all of the earth? Are we using our money to serve Gods will or our own? Do we serve God or paper? Though one would appear rich,he is poor
When people say that money is a “meaningless piece of paper” and “we will end all sin and conquer death by getting rid of [money]” they are demonstrating that they are part of the problem. Money should not be an object of hate anymore than a hammer, a saw, a shovel or any other tool. Money is simply a tool to facilitate exchange… It’s like getting hit over the head with a hammer and blaming the hammer instead of the one who’s wielding it. Money is the single most amazing and powerful tool known to mankind and like any other tool it can be used to do good or it can be used to do evil. People who hate money or say that we’d be better off without it are people who are ignorant as to what money is. Sadly over 99% of the population is ignorant about money and this is by design.
The most important thing to know about money is how our evil satanic authorities, the money powers (the same authorities that control the Christian religious system), use money as their prime tool to enslave nations and put them into perpetual servitude. That’s not the fault of the money but that’s the fault of people’s ignorance about money and the evil authorities that spend billions to keep people in that ignorance.
“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” Henry Ford
If money, that amazing tool, were in the hands of God fearing authorities the opposite effects to what we have today would ensue: there would be no poverty, unemployment, inflation and debt… there would be prosperity for all. But this ignorance is going to continue and the satanic authorities are using all their money power to finance instruments of disinformation to make sure the slaves remain ignorant about the realities of their own captivity.

You sound like you love your servitude. What should I work for if not to end sin and death?
And those same people you believe would make a difference if they were in charge of money would do the same things that those who are in charge are doing now!
This is because we battle not flesh and blood but spiritual wickedness within us all like money.

Those people I believe would make a difference are people born of God who have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. People born of God do not have within them what you say you have within yourself: “spiritual wickedness”.
How can you say “us” when you talk about your own spiritual wickedness that is within you? Speak for yourself. Don’t assume all believers have spiritual wickedness within them just because you do.
So you are saying it sounds like I love serving money because I believe that the "love of money is a root to all evil" and not that the money itself is evil? You equate money with sin and death. You believe that a tool that’s used to facilitate exchange (so the baker doesn’t have to bring thousands of loaves of bread to the car dealer in exchange for his car while the car dealer then has to get rid of the bread before it spoils) is identical to the spiritual wickedness that you have within yourself. This shows you are the one in servitude to your own ignorance.

What IS spiritual wickedness? What do you battle?
I gave you an example in money. And you are speaking of an old system. Both cars and bread are made by machines in factories.
No matter how you slice it, we have enough. But because of the love of money, you would shun even freely receiving these things, just because maybe someone else is who didn't work at all will get the same.

If you say I am in need of nothing I have acquired wealth then why would you ever need God? If a rich man donates to every charity in the world and is still rich what good will that do when it is written that the poor shall inherit the earth? That it is harder for a camel to go through the eye of a needle? Do we look to God for our needs or money you cannot serve God and money you will love one and hate the other, which one do you love and which one do you hate?
