>>The world that was meant to be is returning soon. It is the world of every man looking out for his fellow man, seeking to better other people, and in so doing ... therefore himself. This will be the world of service to God in correct ways first, which means we all help each other continually, look out for each other, consider each other, and look to benefit the other guy so that he has growth. It will be world-wide and it will be wonderful for all who take part in it (not all will).

Surely that's an argument to give up worldly cares and spend your time contemplating Jesus until the great day comes? Frankly IMHO that would be foolish if you believe that God knows we are imperfect and surely put us on this imperfect world to learn and grow and help make things better according to the gifts granted each of us.

>>This is a completely untrue statement without qualifiers. It needs things like: "When you look to the way the world is today, then..." or "When we continue to live under the yolk of slavery to self, then..." et cetera.

We need to be real, Rick. The realities we face are the ones to which we must respond. "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride"- except that if we didn't need money there would be no beggars. Or horses, most likely. ;-)

>>The civilization we will have without money is a literal paradise because we've stopped looking to needs, stopped looking to self, and started looking to God. And because of who He is, He will provide everything correctly for us continually and without measure. A glorious future.

Meantime there are good deeds to be done as well as kids to feed.
