The United States Constitution declares, in Article I, Section 10, "No State shall... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts". This means that no State can make something besides gold or silver a "tender in payment" (which means they cannot "make something else an offer as payment") for any debts, which would include debts owed by and to the State. However, EVERY State in the United States of America HAS made some other "Thing" an offer as payment - they have by law declared that they will accept, and pay out, Federal Reserve Notes for any debts owed by or to them. Therefore, every State is in violation of Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution. Thus the need for the "Constitutional Tender Act" -- a bill template that can be introduced in every State legislature in the nation, returning each of them to adherence to the United States Constitution's actual legal tender provisions.
if anyone in here hates his/her roots on money, please, allow me to open an account of paypal to USE IT WELL... 
Idolatry, greed, depending on cash flow is what really hurts or spoil life (even to built good relationship with people).
We cannot trade without it. If I pay any service with the currency we use in Venezuela, some may laugh, because there is not a "fair" standard on the value we have set on money. Everyone needs shelter, clothing, food (these are the essentials) but the living price varies everywhere, so we better use money that gold or silver...

Most all on here have to use the systems of transfering information across the world be it cable, fiber optics ,satellite or whatever men like myself have to sweat it into the ground or pull it over the ground you know work.
justamazed there is nothing wrong with working adam worked paul worked and so on.
It is the unfair scales of the bankers and leaders using fiat monies that is an abomination to the LORD not men working.
for six days you have to WORK........ to take something for nothing is just as bad as charging something for nothing = "interest on printed money" it is from the same tree. The statement does not include the widows the orphans the old or those who are not capable physically or mentally.
A free ride is unbiblical.

Isaiah 55:1-2
55 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

[h=3]Isaiah 55[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
55 “Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The sure mercies of David.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people,
A leader and commander for the people.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.”

And Jesus clarifies it further here
[SUP]25 [/SUP]When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
[SUP]26 [/SUP]Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. [SUP]27 [/SUP]Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”
[SUP]28 [/SUP]Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
[SUP]30 [/SUP]So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? [SUP]31 [/SUP]Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[SUP][c][/SUP]”
[SUP]32 [/SUP]Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. [SUP]33 [/SUP]For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
[SUP]34 [/SUP]“Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
[SUP]35 [/SUP]Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.[SUP]36 [/SUP]But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.[SUP]37 [/SUP]All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. [SUP]38 [/SUP]For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. [SUP]39 [/SUP]And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. [SUP]40 [/SUP]For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
[SUP]41 [/SUP]At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said,“I am the bread that came down from heaven.” [SUP]42 [/SUP]They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”
[SUP]43 [/SUP]“Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. [SUP]44 [/SUP]“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. [SUP]45 [/SUP]It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’[SUP][d][/SUP] Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. [SUP]46 [/SUP]No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. [SUP]47 [/SUP]Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. [SUP]48[/SUP]I am the bread of life. [SUP]49 [/SUP]Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.[SUP]50 [/SUP]But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. [SUP]51 [/SUP]I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
[SUP]52 [/SUP]Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
[SUP]53 [/SUP]Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.[SUP]54 [/SUP]Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. [SUP]55 [/SUP]For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. [SUP]56 [/SUP]Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. [SUP]57 [/SUP]Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. [SUP]58 [/SUP]This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” [SUP]59 [/SUP]He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
[SUP]26 [/SUP]Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.

UMMM Jesus was a carpenter,Peter,James and John were Fishermen, Matthew was a tax collector,Paul made tents,what makes any one think somehow they are more special then they are,when they also worked to earn money for their needs?
Also add into that Paul also said if any man shall not work neither shall he eat. How you can get around that I have no idea.
