The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: 100 Lashes!: God is all-loving, all-powerful and sent his Son to literally be sentenced to death. This is no Biblical clique. It is evidenced by the Shroud of Turin among other things. Jesus completely humbled Himself by giving up all his power and right to be equal to God, and died as a criminal and a sinner for ALL of humanity.
Both the unsaved and saved can be under the spirit of mammon. Do not be deceived! An unsaved person can only serve mammon because it is not part of his nature to submit to God in any way (Romans 8:7). However, the Christian can most definitely yield to the temptations of mammon just as he can yield to the temptations of satan. This is what is means for a Christian to be under the spirit of mammon. The signs of a person being under the spirit of mammon are: The person does not understand the spirit of mammon. This is because he or she is blinded by it and therefore cannot see it. The person reacts whenever being confronted with being told that they are under the spirit of mammon, or being told that they may be under it. This is not the person themselves reacting, but the spirit of mammon reacting. The person is self-satisfied with the abundance that they have. This is especially the case with many Christians today. They are happy with having a family, a well-paying job, security
