A nation and the world cannot prosper in wickedness. It is folly to think we can turn our economy around without repentance.
We can falsely stabilize our economy by giving government more control but this will cause loss of freedom. This seems the path most people will choose.
This world was created by our Father In Heaven and Jesus so we can be tested in an atmosphere of faith. We live out this test, away from God’s presence, for the purpose of making the Great Judgment effective.
In a fallen world like this, peer pressure rules, it creates false traditions and disobedience to God.
We all have a conscience, therefore, we all have the power to discern good from evil. God allows the Devil and selfish people to tempt us to violate our conscience. The only person not to violate his conscience was Jesus.
Selfishness is the basic problem. “Thou Shalt Not Covet,” pertains to selfishness. Jesus, Heavenly Father, and the Holy Ghost, having no selfishness, desire us to become like them in motive.
Fiat currency, gov’t Ponsi schemes, fractional banking, occupations that exploit people, sick sports and sick entertainment are symptoms of selfishness.
When evil is endorsed by government, like it is today, God will not intervene to save us. Also, many of our churches teach lies, such as: women can choose to murder their babies, God made some people gay, socialism (collective theft) is Christian charity.
