God owns everything including the "cattle on a thousand hills" and the fiat paper we call "money" (and the real money we know as gold). Hyperinflation is most certainly coming to the USA. Regardless, when we die we leave it all behind. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? "Fear God" is encouraged in the Bible and for those who choose to do what they want (with their "free will")--the key tenent in Satanism, by the way--there will be repercussions (as there are with all decisions in life, spiritual or otherwise). It appears Peter has a rather distorted view of God, but he has the freedom in the West to believe whatever he wants. Heck, many people think that they are "God" and the masters of their own destinies...until the fragile nature of life takes someone they love away, or they get a strange disease or get paralyzed in a car crash...then they realize that their money god/idol will not save them. Only a relationship with YHWH will. The only one who proved his love by dying on the cross for them (and then rising from the dead proving his deity). It is a gospel of hope and love. I'm saddened that some cannot see that because of bad experiences with "hypocrites" or ingrained bigotry. 10 out of 10 will die and face our Creator. If we prepare for our temporary retirement financially but don't prepare for our permament destiny spiritually, that is nothing but foolish. Ronald, your posting was quite accurate!

And we seemed to have survived that without hyperinflation. And if I look at the 1943 expenditure versus total debt, the percent would have been even worse. We got one year of high inflation in 1947: almost 18%, but again, we and the dollar seemed to have survived. I will not rule out hyper inflation as a possibility but it seems the author is suggesting that always, when a country's debt exceeds 40% of expenditures we see hyperinflation. Not the case (see above). Well, if we look at the U.S. deficit in 1943 versus its expenditures, at least per the numbers I looked at, the percent exceeded 69%, which certainly exceeds 40%.

Perhaps the rest of the world does not all believe in the same "God" that you believe in. Mine, for example, gave me free will, loves me regardless of my actions, did not write a book (or several of them ) and then put them into one book telling me what I "must do or else" as yours does. Strangely enough, he doesn't threaten me with burning in hell forever If I don't do his extremely contradictory "Will" as contained in your God's book. I wonder why my God isn't so insecure that he requires me, his product, (even after having given me free will), to worship him and to either conform to his ways or he will annihilate me and millions more like me. even those who have never been exposed to the book you call his. "Love God and Love your neighbour" Ron, that's the message, let the rest of us live in joy rather than your fear. In response to Ronald.
