Mammon.

 

Mammon

Mammon /ˈmæmən/ in the New Testament of the Bible is commonly thought to mean money, material wealth, or any entity that promises wealth, and is associated with the greedy pursuit of gain. The Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke both quote Jesus using the word in a phrase often rendered in English as "You cannot serve both God and mammon."

 

In the Middle Ages it was often personified and sometimes included in the seven princes of Hell. Mammon in Hebrew (ממון) means "money". The word was adopted to modern Hebrew to mean wealth.

 

The word Mammon comes into English from post-classical Latin mammona 'wealth', used most importantly in the Vulgate Bible (along with Tertullian's mammonas and pseudo-Jerome's mammon). This was in turn borrowed from Hellenistic Greek μαμωνᾶς, which appears in the New Testament, borrowed from Aramaic מָמוֹנָא māmōnā, an emphatic form of the word māmōn 'wealth, profit',[1] perhaps specifically from the Syriac dialect. The spelling μαμμωνᾷ refers to "a Syrian deity, god of riches; Hence riches, wealth"; μαμωνᾶς is transliterated from Aramaic [ממון] and also means "wealth".[2] However, it is not clear what the earlier history of the Aramaic form is.[3][4] The word may have been present throughout the Canaanite languages: the word is unknown in Old Testament Hebrew, but has been found in the Qumran documents;[5] post-biblical Hebrew attests to māmōn; and, according to St Augustine of Hippo, Punic included the word mammon 'profit'.[6] It has been suggested that the Aramaic word māmōn was a loanword from Mishnaic Hebrew ממון (mamôn) meaning money,[7][8][9] wealth,[10] or possessions;[11] although it may also have meant "that in which one trusts".[4]

 

According to the Textus Receptus of the New Testament,[12] the Greek word translated "Mammon" is spelt μαμμωνᾷ in the Sermon on the Mount at Matthew 6:24, and μαμωνᾶ (from μαμωνᾶς) in the Parable of the Unjust Steward at Luke 16:9,11,13. The 27th edition of the popular Critical Text of the New Testament[13] has μαμωνᾶ in all four places with no indication of any textual variances, thereby ignoring the Textus Receptus reading at Matthew 6:24. The Liddell and Scott Lexicon[14] has a listing for each spelling, indicating that each occurs only in the New Testament, nowhere else in ancient and Hellenistic Greek literature. The spelling μαμμωνᾷ refers to "a Syrian deity, god of riches; Hence riches, wealth"; μαμωνᾶς is transliterated from Aramaic [ממון] and also means "wealth". The Authorised Version uses "Mammon" for both Greek spellings; John Wycliffe uses richessis.

Gee, I wonder if Biden knows he's a Jew. Fuck off. Here is reality for you.

 

Criminals exist in EVERY society, nation, ethnic group, whatever, SOME may be better at it than others. The problem ISN'T their nationality, or ethnicity, it's the fact they are CRIMINALS, but not everyone in whatever group they may come from are.

 

Deal with the criminal actions of individuals and stop accusing whole peoples or groups because of the actions of SOME of them.

So, if I changed those flags to American flags, and replaced the people with Italian mobsters, what would you say then?

 

If you are part of a criminal cabal, are you going to put non-criminals in, or would you put in your criminal cronies?

Maybe, that makes sense, yes, but when I look at history, I'm not so sure that logic wins out. Sort of like that part in the movie, "men in black," where he says, "a person is smart, people are dumb panicky animals." It's a fairly accurate statement.
