what does it mean to say you cannot serve god and mammon
Matthew 6:24 This famous verse continues the discussion of wealth, and makes explicit what was implied in Matthew 6:21: a person cannot pursue both material goods and spiritual well being. The two goals are mutually exclusive.
Euthyphro dilemma The Euthyphro dilemma is found in Plato's dialogue Euthyphro, in which Socrates asks Euthyphro, "Is the pious (τὸ ὅσιον) loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?" (10a) It implies that if moral authority must come from the gods it doesn't have to be good, and if moral authority must be good it does not have to come from the gods. An implication which, incidentally, got Socrates in a lot of trouble.[1]
