Buying Gold Creates Good

Buying gold is being obedient to the command to use "honest weights and measures", as in Leviticus 19:35, Deuteronomy 25:15, Proverbs 20:10.

Buying gold reduces monetary fraud, and fraud is bad.

Buying gold increases freedom among men, specifically by reducing the debt load of people who owe devaluing paper money, which increases humanity's overall productivity, and especially inspires and enhances freedom for yourself.

Buying gold increases wealth among savers and long term planners, which are the best and most productive class of men among humanity.

Buying gold saves lives by preventing and limiting wars which can only be funded by paper money. Nations that enslave one another with tribute are more likely to go to war for freedom. Nations that deceive one another, or take advantage of one another through paper money are more likely to go to war.

Buying gold creates harmony and peace among nations as it provides as an honest medium of exchange between nations, and nations engaged in active trade with each other generally don't war on each other.

Buying gold reduces oppressive government power, and it does so without any violence.

Buying gold preserves capital in your own hands, your own town, your own nation, so that you, and the people to whom you will give it when you spend it, will all be better off after a currency collapse.

Buying gold can prevent mass starvation that can result from a complete economic meltdown that may come. The preservation of capital can be used to purchase and preserve farms or food production facilities or distribution networks that may go out of business in an economic collapse.

A nation that uses gold as money has price stability, which allows better longer term planning for all kinds of business projects.

Buying gold allows a man to provide for his immediate and extended family, and children's children.

1 Timothy 5:8 If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Proverbs 13:22 If you obey God, you will have something to leave your grandchildren. If you don't obey God, those who live right will get what you leave.

Buying gold prevents others from stealing your wealth, and that is a good thing, as it rewards defenders, and thwarts (but does not harm) would-be thieves.

Buying gold can lengthen your own life, as it benefits your own personal finances which can enhance the quality of food that you can buy and eat, and it can enhance your notion of personal responsibility for your own health as well as your own finances.

Deuteronomy 25:15 If you weigh and measure things honestly, the LORD your God will let you enjoy a long life in the land he is giving you.

Buying gold inspires a person to take greater responsibility for one's own self, ranging from health to self defense.

Buying gold gives one an increase in discernment, as one realizes that most mass media is a form of propaganda and lies.

Buying gold helps one to save money, as savings in the form of gold is not as likely to be cashed in for whimsical purchases.

Buying gold is the ultimate manifestation of "delayed gratification" since gold is a pure luxury item, yet you can do nothing with it. It thus satifies none of the lusts of the flesh, but represents that you have NOT bought anything, since it is savings. Psychologists have identified that one of the most important character qualities to develop that marks the difference between success and failure in life is the ability to delay gratification. Delayed gratification requires self control. One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is self control. Buying gold is thus the ultimate manifestation of fulfilling the desires of the Holy Spirit. No wonder God tells us directly to "buy gold refined in the fire", in Rev 3:18.
