Commerce in Heaven?????

[dashboy]

I think many of us have lost sight of what life is really about and why we are here. I believe commerce is the common denominator of all thing and how you operate in it will determine your eternal fate. I am not claiming salvation by works. But am claiming that proper commerce or works demonstrates your position and your acceptance of the gift of eternal life to do perfect commerce from the Creator. For he is the only one who truely knows how to operate efectively in it. And that is in doing it freely with no expectation in return for what we give to others. If all took this approach, we would have perfect commerce! Below is an example of this. You can clearly see what happen to Lucifer. Lucifer's fall was because of improper (commercial iniquity) commerce which led to pride and (debt) DEATH. Sorta like what the banks are going through. A resourceful word study will show you that root word for debt is DEATH. You are in commerce whether you like it or not or believe it or not. All exchange of thoughts, words, and actions are COMMERCE!

Read and enjoy!

Ezekiel

28:11-19



11 ¶ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

16 By the multitude of thy <font color=red>merchandise[/color] they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of <font color=orange>thy traffic[/color]; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
