Why would "Greed" be an Emotion of God
Greed- the emotion of
wanting more than you need
God as the creator of everything should have no understanding of greed. Since God could make anything God wanted or needed as he wanted or needed it. Yet God’s word indicates God is greedy. God wants sacrifices of animals, God wants a portion of the wealth of mankind. The Bible says the streets of Heaven are paved with Gold. Seems to be more than is needed!! Why would God need any of these things? God should have the power to fulfill all of God’s needs and the needs of his “Church”
Leviticus 27: 1-34 Tells of all the taxes that God needs
Haggai 2-8 God says the silver and gold is mine.
Malachi 3: 8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say,
Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even
this whole nation.10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may
be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you
the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be
room enough to receive it.
Why would God have given mankind this emotion Greed What good could come of giving mankind this emotion. It causes humans to break almost all of God’s laws. Mankind kills, steals, lies, covets, works on the Sabbath all in the name of greed

It is confusing, isn't it?? Then his "son" says: (Allegedly), "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get to heaven." (LISTEN UP TRUMP! [Cabinet included!] ) And the streets paved with gold? (sounds like Trumps apartment, (he must be enjoying his heaven while he CAN!)) Yet, he still claims to be a Christian ... (at least since about last July. ;-) 1
