Credit is derived from the Latin word, credere - “to believe, have faith in.” The original senses recorded were “belief” and ‘credibility’. The word is from French credit, probably via Italian credito from Latin creditum (from credere; ‘believe,’ ‘trust’). This notion of ‘belief’ and ‘trust’ passed into contexts where trust was placed in the ability of a customer to pay for goods.¹ This essence of belief is explained by the Apostle Paul as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.’² While Paul was referring to Faith in the Heavenly Father, faith in general still complies with that definition. In our example on the money, the bank note is the evidence of things not seen, since there is no money backing up the bogus check, the notes are accepted on trust - that is, faith - alone. The new churches of Creditanity are banks. There are varying denominations ranging from commercial banks all the way to savings and loans, credit unions and credit card companies. But all serve the same lord - mammon.

When a person borrows this fictional money to purchase a house, a mortgage is taken out. Few people know the word mortgage is a contraction meaning “dead pledge.” “Mort” is from the Latin morte or mortuus and has all of the implications and connotations of death. We say “mortal wound” when referring to one who may die from a serious wound and refer to those who prepare the dead for burial as “morticians.” “Gage” has dual meanings of “to pledge” and “to challenge to a fight.” Interest is that which is paid for the use of the artificially created money. Interest is derived from the Latin inter - ‘between’ and esse - ‘be,’ hence “to be between.” Government uses money in its varying forms to coax people to place their faith in it, instead of the Lord God for their safety and subsistence.

“The Federal Reserve system and associated checks, credit and debit cards are all assigned numbers based upon the person’s government-issued serial number, also known as the Social Security Number. By eliminating a means of private trade, Satan uses the tools and systems of government to craftily change our daily activities to subliminally refocus our worship from the Lord God to man. That is all that’s required to affect a person’s salvation - take his/her eyes off the Lord and put them anywhere else.”³ Since our U.S. currency today - the Federal Reserve Note - is not based upon any tangible unit of measure (it represents the bogus check held in the file folder) it does not have any justifiable weight or measure to it. Creditanity’s Federal Reserve Notes violates God’s law of trading with “just weights and balances”⁴ since there is literally nothing to back them except a promise. If it isn’t bad enough that the so-called ‘money’ banks loan society is fraudulently created from nothing, the government allows them to do so through legislative fiat. Surely the borrower is servant to the lender.⁵ Creditanity allows banks and credit card companies (which are banks, too) to charge interest to their own countrymen - also in violation of Biblical maxim.⁶
