When you buy a house, on a 30 yr. term, and pay for it TWICE in the end- who would you say had the upper hand?
When you max out your $100 credit card and make the minimum $20 payment for 5+ yrs.- who would you say had the upper hand?
When your money stagnates in a checking and savings account (until you use it) however the bank consistantly uses it to it's advantage- who has the upper hand?
I could go on and on. The Bible reveals truth. Even today. |

It's kind of like running away. You're always looking over your shoulder. Put another way, you jump when the person you owe says to jump. Unless you file for bankruptcy or pay off the debt, you'll always be answering in one way or another to the people you owe.
The borrower lender relationship ceases to exist after payment of the loan is made. |

Yes.
Even in America today, there are share croppers. Farmers that are renting land and sharing their profits with the land owner. The tenant farmer is a "slave" to the land owner until they either make enough money to purchase their own land or move to a different job.
The Bible is still relevant today as it was when it was written. It isn't about Bible thumping it is about living a good life and following basic human right laws. Yes, Biblical lenders where much more physically forceful and cruel to the borrower. Today's lender is not physically cruel but they can be mentally cruel to the borrower. If the borrower over purchases and then misses a payment they get harassing phone calls and possible repossession (if the loan was for a car, home, land, etc).
It doesn't matter if you are a good payer or a bad payer, until that loan is paid off, you are slave to that institution (or person) by either the payment book or the harassing phone calls if in collection, etc.
BTW- Duane doesn't make sense. I think he just wanted to vent about a "Bible thumping" neighbor. |

Do you have faith in Bible? If yes, then it is probably right. If not, then what we are talking about. Bible is not a scientific research. |

When you borrow money, you are obliged to follow the terms of agreement, hardly slavery by todays standards, but none the less. Back in the good old biblical days I could imagine this being more of a literal phrase.
Ex: I will lend you the land you need to plant and harvest your crops but you will need to give me 60% of what you make and let me have relations with your daughters. |

In current day and age the lender is slave to the borrower.
We all want the slice of the pie and good borrower (one that pays on time) is like gold. If they don't pay lenders are more likely to worry than the borrowers. |

by biblical standards yes, by todays standards, no |

Any borrower can be a slave to the lender whether the Bible says so or not if you as the borrower has no self control!
These days there are so many credit protection laws that the lenders are always looking for borrowers who are honest!
The person who stole my ID didn't believe in honesty, another important piece of biblical morals, wouldn't you say? Since he avoided the slave to the lender principle and put it all on me, does that make him one of the chosen few?
How about one of my neighbors in Seattle who went to church every Sunday and claimed to be a proud man of God because he read his bible every day and even included one in every used piece of garbage car he sold knowing it wouldn't outlast the loan. Is he one of the chosen few?? Just because the law says let the buyer beware!
I protect myself better now mainly because the local police and prosecutors in Seattle have no guts for anything law enforcement wise that does not provide another photo opportunity!
Having credit available to you means you are trustworthy! Not being able to control yourself is not your lenders fault!
Anyone with an reasonably high IQ can figure that out!
I will never fully understand how so many Bible thumpers I've met are so morally bankrupt themselves!
Are you trying to prove religion is mans biggest untreated mental illness? Most of the bible stopped making sense 1500 years ago! Lending was one way slaves, human beings, were bought and sold!!!!!! |

In today's world especially in a divorce with children. the Custodial parent actually treats the non-custodial parent as a MONEY slave and can even have them jailed in some states for being behind on support.YES owing anyone that could demand payment in full at anytime is like being a slave to that person. The bank or CC company could demand payment in full then what?? |
