quotations about greed
I frankly don't see anything wrong with greed. I think that the people who are always attacking greed would be more consistent with their position if they refused their next salary increase. I don't see even the most Left-Wing scholar in this country scornfully burning his salary check. In other words, "greed" simply means that you are trying to relieve the nature-given scarcity that man was born with. Greed will continue until the Garden of Eden arrives, when everything is superabundant, and we don't have to worry about economics at all.

Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.
JESUS
Luke 12:15
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
JESUS
Matthew 6:24
The Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need but not for every man's greed.

When greed is present in your life, your definition of life becomes twisted. How you define life will determine how you live life.
