I hear more preaching from the left than anywhere else

"If a man won't work, let him not eat"
Yup, that pesky Bible again!

Forgiving debt and transferring debt to people who didn't borrow are two different things

Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars.

Roman currency was considered the property of Caesar. This is in no way an endorsement or commandment to pay taxes. Jesus was just saying that you should obey the laws of the land. Jesus also never said that you cannot question or fight to repeal tyrannical or pointless laws. He also never said that taxation is a necessary part of government, which is why for over 100 years we had no permanent income tax in this country. It wasn't until a very evil man got elected that the IRS and the Federal Reserve was forced on us. Democrat Woodrow Wilson is that evil president who instituted those two things to control the people and manipulate the economy. The income tax was NEVER about funding the government. It was instituted from the very beginning to control people. That is why now there are so many tax laws on the books that regardless of how honest or accurate you are in filing your taxes, you can be found guilty of at least 3 felonies.

So ever 10 years or so the people of Israel would forgive all debt. Guess what happened? They stopped giving loans out that lasted more than the time left until the next forgiveness. Guess what else happened? Their economy skyrocketed.

Up voted.

The left doesnt use the bible except for throwing it back at the bible thumping right. The right claims to follow the bible except for all the important stuff that they cant control
