No man or woman has the Ability, To serve two Masters! It is impossible to do so! For God will not allow it!

[PloughBoy]

American King James Version
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."

Many Christians think they can, But God word says; they cannot! Do not get the word "served" confused with the word "salvation".

New International Version
"Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction."
This is written for Christians and not sinners"!
I am not referring or this text of Scripture is not referring to 'salvation" here. and this portion of Scripture is not talking about "The Rich". It is talking about you Christians who are desiring or wanting to have more! "Look at you now, getting mad with me already and so of you have set up your "bulwark" of defense".

Now if you say; I can do both, you cannot> Example: How much time "can" you stay in your Bibles, how long can you study it, with study tools along side of it. How many times you drift away from the text while reading it? Do you love Your Bible, and overwhelm by it? Can you say, I am? If not, "you do not have the ability to do so" for God said "you cannot serve Two Masters". You cannot have fellowship at the lord's table and demons. And sometimes the devils table appears as a Angel of Light. [doing good deeds].

There is A God of The Flesh, There are so many "IDOL Gods of this world" but you cannot [have the ability] know them" or understand what God means and His interpretation of "Idol gods".

10For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. "By craving it, some have wandered away, from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.…
[like craving for another womans husband or another mans wife] you wonder away, slowly from your own.

Keys words "craving it", has cause them to "wandered away"! Why because God has commanded it to be so! if you crave it you will wandered away.
So in essence "guard your wicked heart" with "the mind that was also in "christ Jesus"!

You have not The Ability to serve 2 masters! You cannot serve a "IDOL god" and the True GOD" How many IDOL Gods are Christians serving and don't know it nor have the ability to discern the difference? In the joyless state they are walking in, but only looking for "happiness" in all of the wrong places. In essence it only produces more "Idols" on their tables of collections. Looking for "fleeting happiness" instead of "Blesseth"! and contentment" so order by God.
"Can a man or woman take fire in their buxom and not be burn"?

It would seem that some"christians"think, i would say; that by excepting the 'idolatry" ignorance of the knowledge of such practices is given a ok pass by the "benevolence grace' of God. known and excepting ignorance is no excuse.

Many of christians are nominal christians and they are involved in cults and lead others into such practices and know it and do no not care. They go to church, a christian church and still think that they are a child of God or worshipper of Jesus. But really they are idol worshippers. They are not worshipping the true God no matter how many times they call upon the name of Jesus or God the Father. or bending knees. And they love the way and who they worship. They will be a witness against their own very soul. And many of Christians have follow the way of "Solomon" by not saying a word but live a life of compromise.

This will effect you, your son, your daughter, your grandson, granddaughter, cousin, niece, nephew, or maybe the robber or the thief, who would have swayed their way. There are so many kinds of "Idol worshipping" "travel clubs", social clubs, career clubs, investment clubs, sororities, fraternities, all recognitions of Greek Gods and Goddesses is a big no no. the god of drink, the god of smoke, The God of Food who's name is "Gluttony", The God and Goddesses of Dress,
Not to beat anyone over the head, but to let you be aware, we are being attacked on every side. This world is not our friend. Traps everywhere, The God of debt will kidnap your peace and hold you ransom, and demand interest from the mentality of your very mind. "The Paradise , that you thought was gain, but in actuality, it was paradise loss".
