    Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    or this:

    James 2:6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you, is it not they who drag you into court?

    James 5:1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.

    or this:


    Romans 13:6 For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing.
    Romans 13:7 Pay all of them their dues, taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

    We're talking Bible here. Not Emily Post.

    I'm sorry? What are you getting at here. Let me just say, I take the bible literally. You don't have to. It's your choice. But Christ treated persons and events in the OT as actual people so then so do i. Of course there are some statements in the bible.....oh.....like...it's raining cats and dogs. (Before you get out your concordance, that phrase is not in the Bible. I used it as an example.) You know it is NOT actually raining cats and dogs but rather it is an analogy. Not many secularists are able to grasp that concept.

    Of course they can grasp the concept of analogy or metaphor.

    The arrogance of too little knowledge .
    Your so called Secularists have rammed this very point down Literalists throats for hundreds of years .
    The books which were arbitrarily brought together as the Christian Diary ( Constantine's Bible )were not written literally . They had not fully arrived at that idea in those times .
