Genesis 15:1-6 - A possession that begins salvation as God's helper
The word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, "Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great." But Abram said, " adonay Yahweh , what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?" And Abram said, "You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir." But the word of Yahweh came to him, "This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir."

Luke 12:13-21 - The parable of the Rich Fool
Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me." But he said to him, "Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?" And he said to them, "Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions." Then he told them a parable: "The land of a rich man produced abundantly. And he thought to himself, `What should I do, for I have no place to store my

Colossians 3:1-11 - The condition for becoming a Christ of God
If you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry). On

Ecclesiastes 1:2, 12-14; 2:18-23 - Still worshipping lady wisdom?
Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. I, the Teacher, when king over Israel in Jerusalem, applied my mind to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven; it is an unhappy business that God has given to human beings has given elohim to sons of Adam to be busy with. I saw all the deeds that are done under the sun; and see, all is vanity and a chasing after wind. I hated all my toil in which I had toiled under the sun, seeing

1 Give thanks to Yahweh , for he is good, * and his mercy endures forever. 2 Let all those whom Yahweh has redeemed proclaim * that he redeemed them from the hand of the foe. 3 He gathered them out of the lands; * from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. 4 Some wandered in desert wastes; * they found no way to a city where they might dwell. 5 They were hungry and thirsty; * their spirits languished within them. 6 Then they cried to Yahweh in their

Hosea 11:1-11 - The perpetuity of Sodom and Gomorrah
[ 1 ] When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. [ 2 ] The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Baals, and offering incense to idols. [ 3 ] Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them. [ 4 ] I led them with cords of human kindness, with bands of love. I was to them like those who lift infants to their cheeks. I bent down to them and fed them.

When Yahweh first spoke through Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, "Go, take for yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom by forsaking Yahweh ."
