An Invention
One day, Satan said to God, "Allow me to invent just one thing and give it to human beings, and then I will prove that I can defeat you, Sir!"
Then, Satan changed his figure to a coin.

How can we earn money while practicing justice and love perfectly?
It is very difficult.
Because it is a market where we earn money. We have to compete with others by presenting more attractive goods or services to clients. To earn money, we have to beat competitors and also provide better products. But can we accept our own defeat in such competition? Or can we be satisfied, if we win in this business competition, seeing others failing and losing a chance for success? To earn money, we have to neglect unhappiness of our competitors.
So, to be rich we have to be cold to our rivals. We have to rely on any dirty or unlawful means and tricks to take the wind from the sails of our trade rivals. In addition, we have to neglect the poor, since we have to invest our money into development of products while stopping providing money for the poor.
This behavior is all against justice and love. And this society is built on the assumption that everybody will make money by competing with others applying any dirty tactics and by neglecting the poor while they can be saved, to any degree, if he or she helps them financially.
Even one cent or penny cannot be earned without following this rule: outwit rivals and neglect the helpless.
If a beggar received a coin from a citizen on the street, he must give it to another beggar that has failed in soliciting the citizen for money, since the man must be now unhappier than he is.
For this reason, possessing no money is a necessary condition to prove that he is a true follower of Christ Jesus.
Put extremely, money is an invention of Satan. He makes people use it so that they will leave the teaching of God, because people will love money more than justice and love.
Maybe before money appeared in this world, Satan must have said to God, "Allow me to invent just one thing and give it to human beings, and then I will prove that I can defeat you, Sir!" Then generous God must allow Satan to do so in his challenge to God. Then, the king of all the evil spirits invented money.
That is why I think there is no money in Heaven.
And no Satan in Heaven. Because God has confined Satan in coins or any form of money.

Mar 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
Mar 2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
Mar 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
Mar 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
Mar 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
