Never.can heaven be compatible with capitalism?
Nocan heaven be compatible with capitalism?
can self serving be compatible with peace; when self is profiting off of the needs of other as self?
can promoting division bring about harmony? can all ever be as one under such a state?
Would business be unnecessary because God gives
I have not been to heaven but my understanding is that all that is needed is a righteous thought and it appear. But money is a human thing.Would business be unnecessary because God gives
everyone what they want?
Or would business be banned, ie, no free economic
association in Heaven?
It would be awful without some entrepreneurship.

What I believe and what is really in heaven is probably very different indeedSounds too good to be true.
The dream might turn out to be a sweatshop. You might
be making pearly gates, clouds, harps, wings, robes, & such.
Or you might be rented out to Satan to stoke furnaces, or
cleaning algae from the Lake Of Fire, & Hot Tub Of Tabasco.
This cannot be disproven.
but it doesn't really explain why its harder. doesn't say it's impossible. just says it's harderI thought the Bible was clear on this ....
"it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God".

capitalism isn't a problem until its used as an advantage over other, to continuously horde resources against other as self. everyone has needs but once that need is met then it turns into gluttonyCapitalism is a way for us to take care of our own needs.
i'm not a dualist. i'm already here. i can understand how other as self might not beIn heaven I thought God would be taking care of our needs.
a word used instead of a personal pronoun to mean a person, like saying soul. its an idea of understanding the self from an objective view, like being self-consciousSorry, I don't know what this last part means. "as self"
I'm sure the fact that people need the money from their work to eat and shelter themselves has absolutely no impact on their completely voluntary desire to work for you.Critics of capitalism tend to see only the much hated
competition. But they miss the extensive cooperation.
I could never run a business without the many people
I serve & who serve me...all voluntarily.

All economic systems can develop bad traits. So that criticismThere is good competition and bad competition. Capitalism has both but bad competition is destructive to even capitalism.
I think most of what people hate about capitalism are the very things that cause capitalism to fail. Capitalist ought to be among the first to hate the things which cause capitalism to fail.
I don't recall capitalism ever being taught is school. Maybe in college but I don't think it was a required course. Though everyone seems aware of he Marxist view of capitalism.
