is money more powerful then god

Welcome to myLot, newbie! I certainly hope you'll find new friends here so you'll see that wherever you live isn't the usual. We all need money to pay bills and we work hard to get it. It could never take the place of faith or our beliefs. We have people from al; over the world here, and from every religion you can imaigne, and most of us are strong in our beliefs. A few are atheists or agnostics, and they often bring that up in discussions. We're pretty much good people here, and most of us worship and love God.

Money money money.. Yes this is the worst problem we are facing today. Wherever we go all are asking for money, not only for paying bills, even to get things done. In the government you can see that money is GOD . But people like you and me, wonder who is more influential, money or GOD.
We are not able to accept that either because we have been brought up GOD fearing. There are many who have a second thinking, like you, who is first GOD or money.
In Hinduism, we pray to Goddess Lakshmi who is the goddess for money, luck and fortune.

god give us wisdom to earn money..we should be the god of our money not the other way around..

Money is more powerful than god to most people, because at the end of the day money rules them. When people are hungry they do not call god they calls for money and do whatever it take to get it. People love for money makes them all servant to it and even if they don't spent it they just want to have it.

yea most of the people here are sick in money but my dear u must think and make a answer to it,we want money for our daily bread inorder to survive because we are all social beings.but we cant take money with us after our "death".
there was a myth story in greece abt it.i think u must hear it
there was a king who had four wives
He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another.
He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidante and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her to help him get through the difficult times.
The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought of his luxurious life and pondered,
"I now have 4 wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone.
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.
Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart
The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to remarry!"
He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!"replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave."
Her answer came like a bolt of thunder and the King was devastated.
Then a voice called out:"I'll leave with you and follow you no matter where you go." The King looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny,she suffered from malnutrition.Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!"
In Truth, we all have 4 wives in our lives ...
Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good it'll leave us when we die.
Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth.When we die, it will all go to others.
Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
And our 1st wife is our Soul,often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the ego.However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go.So cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now!It is your greatest gift to offer the world.


i think u understood what the real god is

Please understand that money can buy anything but God can destroy everything. Maybe you can buy wealth, but you cannot buy health, you can buy a house but not a home. The purpose of money is to satisfy a need but the meaning of power is different. Happy my lotting

I agree that money commands respect. All the rich, successful people are being looked up to because of the money they're making. They can afford the world, as others would say, and yes, they seem to become slaves to the money that they're earning. But isn't money the root of all evil? Crimes here and there are being committed because of the money.

I think that God is more powerful than anything and anyone in this world. Mnay times this has been proven and if only people would put more trust in God and in what He can do than concentrate on the money and its evils then this world would be a more peaceful place, a place perfect for our future kids.

It tends to seem like it, but you have to remember... God created everything. He created the earth, the land you are on, the air you breath, everything. So, if money is more powerful than God, then why did God create the materials we need to make money? Money isn't more powerful. In fact, American money says "In God we trust," so even the money itself says God is more powerful. Sure, it takes money to tell the word of God, but money is just a cycle. God is much, much more than that, so we all need to respect that.

Money is very important in contemporary society.No money,no live.Money maybe let someone change.For money people sometimes can do everything.It can be said that money is god.

No it is just the lust and greed for it that has a powerful pull, God allows it. But he can take it away any time he wants. He can bring anyone down. Money can buy many things. But not trust, honor, love, truth, honesty, understanding, faith, grace, hope, salvation, repentance, happiness, true friends and more.
