This research study focuses on imitating the Biblical roots of Modern Economics (noting also elements of cashless Christian Banking) in solving Economic problems, and suicidal ruminations often caused by traumatic life experiences. In this modern era, tithes transferred direct from Tithers “Bank Accounts to Church Bank Accounts can be redistributed into needy members Bank Account. The study cited Greek New Testament texts which presented Greek Koine words such as “Diekon, Neokon and Oikonomos†etc which should be further studied as Modern Economics roots ( or examples/ templates) for solving current economic problems. Related attestations are Brown and Smith : 1990 including over 80 Greek texts references cited by Metzger: (2001). The English word “Imitating†was derived from the Latin “Imitari and Imitatusâ€, with the older form being “Imago†which means an “Imageâ€, or an exact “Likeness†or “Copy†of another thing (i.e to copy or be “like†another thing. The word “imitating†applied in this study implies searching through the Greek (koine) New Testament for passages such as Luke 12:42, 1 Corinthians 4:1-2, Galatians 4:1-2, Acts 4:32-37 Acts 6:1-7, Act 5:1-10; 2 Corinthians 8:19-23; also Acts 2:40-46, Luke 8:3 etc, which gave us Greek New Testament words like “Oikonomos†(English, “Economistâ€) then “Diekon†and “Diakonoumene†etc which means redistributing church wealth etc. Also noting “Oikonomos†(from Peter Siyan: 2008) derived from the Greek New Testament (Luke 12:42), transliterated as “Economos†cited in Luke 12;42 to mean constant food rations resources allocated to church members to alleviate human problems capable of causing self-destruction.
