It's difficult if not impossible to serve God and mammon, because if you are serving your own worldly gain, then God is not the center nor the most important part of your life. Ultimately, if you are a true Christian the only thing that should matter is total surrender to God's will. Money, prestige, etc. can control people. Everyone is controlled by something or someone, whether they like it or not, and whatever controls you is ultimately your "god", and therefore you serve it.
In the New Testament Jesus states that you can't serve "both God and Mammon". Some have identified Mammon is as a god/demon of money, wealth or greed. The word mammon may simply have meant "money" or "wealth" however. Ploutos or Plutos was the Greek god of wealth.
Mammon symbolizes money or material wealth. Mammon as a god has no existence outside of the Bible. Mammon is a lie, like cheating in a card game
Depending on the version being used, Matthew and Luke mention mammon:Matthew 6:24New King James Version (NKJV) You Cannot Serve God and Riches24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
The phrase "You cannot serve God and mammon" originates from the Bible, specifically from the Gospel of Matthew (6:24). In this context, "mammon" refers to wealth or material possessions, highlighting the conflict between spiritual devotion and the pursuit of earthly riches. The verse emphasizes that one cannot be wholly devoted to both God and the pursuit of wealth, as they represent opposing priorities. This teaching reflects broader themes of faith and the moral implications of materialism.
Mammon
Mammon refers to the things of the world--pride, vanity, carnal desires. Serving mammon means acting to gratify your pride, vanity or carnal desires.
I don't think so. If Mammon is a god, it is not mentioned in Scripture. BUT mammon is mentioned in the New Testament and it means "riches" or "wealth". Some people idolize riches and wealth and this is idolatry and is as bad a worshipping a false god. See Matthew 6:24
According to the King James Version of the Bible, one can make friends with Mammon by being faithful and trustworthy in handling worldly wealth and possessions. The Bible teaches that one cannot serve both God and Mammon, so it is important to prioritize spiritual values over material wealth. By using wealth in a responsible and ethical manner, one can cultivate a positive relationship with Mammon.
Mammon in the New testaments of the Luciferian Bible is indeed the son of Satan's. He is the supposed strongest of the demons and is the also the true Antichrist. He is the dark warrior that brought his father the death of god in the testaments of Moloc.

This is so because as Jesus said 'you cannot serve two masters...you cannot serve both God and mammon.' (that is, money and all it buys). Since Jesus has purchased believers with His own blood He has a right to all of them. Someone has said 'He is Lord of all or not Lord at all.' If a person has a love of money, then that person has a god other than the one true and living God. Apart from the fact that one is living and eternal and the other is a dead thing which will pass away - God will have no rivals.
