You would first have to convince me that God involves himself in Man's economics. Personally, I don't think so, for the simple reason that capitalism is , in great part, to blame for the world's problems. You only have to consider the plundering of the world's wealth by rich nations, to understand that. Or the reasons for the pollution, starvation and sheer cruelty in the world. Money is the root of all evil. I admit, that I want my share of the pie as much as anyone else but, please, don't bring God into it.
I am not in the business of convincing any one about God. That is the work of the Holy Spirit and only to those who believe and accept Jesus Christ.
My business is to show people how God has hands in man's economy or rather how mankind are conducting God's economy wrongly. I laugh when people are stealing and plundering God's wealth, they turned around and said don't bring God into this place.
is this not what you just agreed upon with Bunyan's quote?
About the problems of the world, is that not what the Bible said that we ought to be righteous and not unrighteous?
I went to read Ellite forum yesterday, I saw a thread on whether market is random or not" may be they wanted to say are market participants righteous or not?
Right from the Beginning Genesis 1:1 randomness or the so called existed even before the present day earth existed. But God took his time to separate what considered not right or random, or chaos, from what He considered right. So we ought to imitate him by separating randomness from orderliness, unrighteousness from righteousness, plundering from building, pollution from cleaning.
This method of isolating evil is what the Bible has been preaching, that is why Jesus Christ came to teach us the ways of God. The earth belongs to God and those who engages in evil practices are left on their own until the come face to face with God.
Now the same thing is preached here that you ought to be applying the same principles to your trades. You cannot say you did not know that Biblical principles are also applicable to stock markets.
Even in times of Jesus Christ there were many unrighteous people than righteous people. That is why he said that only few people will inherit the Kingdome of His Father.
I still try to make as much as I can out of the markets but I doubt, very much, that God should be asked, when I need help for my endeavours.
No, but you cannot say that you did not hear that the Bible is also applicable to the financial trading. Or that you need the Grace of God to do better.
You can make so much with your own little understanding, think of how much you can be making if you ask God to show you. This simple asking is what principalities of the earth are trying to block and prevent many people from getting it.
Even Satan that is more clever than you know what God wants. He knows that God wants you always isolate disorderliness, unrighteousness, uncertainty, evil, wickedness from your ways. He knows too, that many people are harden in their hearts, that is why he asked God to give him that assignment of harvesting those souls that will not not confirm to God's commands (Luke 22: 31-32). This is why you need God. But the choice is there to follow Satan or Jesus Christ in all ways including the ways you trade, risk money, and take profits.
Waiting for righteousness to return to market is very expensive business, it is like waiting for peace. But you cannot take part in unrighteous market because everyone is doing it. The is the theory of crowd behaviour, and the broadway -
However, please go ahead. I'll read your forecasts with interest.
Bunyan's quote is very interesting. I'd never thought of that , before.
Don't worry about this, but do not be interested only in the forecast without knowing the concept behind it.
