American Metaphysics is “Does that Make Sense to You”— James referred to this as the “cash value” of a notion or idea— does it “make cents” — If we know the truth, we can cash it in, or make use of it— Jesus uses the same metaphor, citing Isaiah.

Isaiah 55:2
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

John 6:35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Biblical Metaphysics are Pragmatic— if you use them, they work. Experience proves it, not Reason or Logic. Theology is Idolatry.

The danger with this is conflating metaphorical “capital” in the kingdom of heaven from corporial capital in the kingdom of mammon. “Does that make you money?” — not “does that enrich you spiritually?”
