MAMMON THE GOD OF MIND, MUSCLE AND MONEY PART 3 OF 3

PART 3 OF 3

MIND; MUSCLE AND MONEY........AKA.........MAMMON

Originally, the word Mammon came from the ancient Chaldeans (remember Ur of the Chaldees where Abraham came from) and actually has its roots in the word 'confidence.

According to Jesus, God and Mammon are 2 masters. You can't serve both. But, Jesus praises the shrewd money manager, and lauds those who grow their wealth in his parables. WTH?

At its most basic level, the word meant 'riches' or 'wealth,' but it connoted an idea of personified wealth gained with avarice. It often took on a deified nature.
