Is it a good thing nonetheless in doing away with money and thus alot of evil?
The idea is good but naïve. There is a reason Jesus said you will always have the poor with you. Evil comes from three places. It comes from within us. An evil person speaks out of the evil stored up within him. Deception also comes from within us. Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves do what it says. Then we are subject to wickedness from other people. We are also subject to wickedness from Satan himself.
There will always be people in this world who love evil rather than good. God has expressed to me that it is my job to love everyone. So I love those who rape children. I love those who are greedy. I love those who defile others. I especially love Satan. Make no mistake, I hate every evil perpetrated upon others particularly if it comes from me but I am not without sin. How then can I cast a stone? I can not. God has given me grace and mercy and forgiveness freely. I must also give these same things to others freely. this does not mean I think people should not be held accountable for their actions. We all should be held accountable for our actions.
I do not have to agree with anything you have said in order to love you or humble myself before you. I am not your lord but your servant. It is not my place to tell any person what to do. It is my place to love and serve others no matter what they do. If an evil person asks me to go a mile with them, I will go with them two. IF an evil person asks me to harm another person, I will not do it. There is a difference between walking or giving a coat and participating in wickedness.
There have been many people who tell me NOT to love them. In these cases, I prefer to obey God rather than men. I have no concern over evil. God has defeated evil. WE have this same victory in Christ. I trust God and HIs promises and I thank God for all things. Satan is completely defeated by love. The evil other people throw my way is also completely defeated by love. The evil that comes from within me is defeated by the cross of Christ. MY only concern is how can I best love each person God puts in front of me each day. I depend completely on God for that answer because I know enough to know I don't know.
I hear many people say their eyes are open. Well I believe God has opened my eyes. What I see though is different than others. What I see is that I am pitiful wretched poor blind and naked. What I see is my own pride before me like a vast wasteland of death. What I see is that I know I need God every moment. What I see is God providing for me everything I need to do His will. God is I AM WHO I AM. I am HIs.
