They can’t argue anything there. Unless, of course, it fails to fit their world view, which is obviously in conflict with — and takes precedence over — their faith.
Sometimes I just have to shake my head...
The idea behind the creation of man was that he attain knowledge and grow in wisdom. The former is useless without the latter.
David a modern day luditte.
He is obviously an idiot and has a real problem seeing America’s ideals progress to inclusion and acceptance.
Inclusion of all people because while they are unique, they are still human and in this instance American.
You are free to live your life as you wish so long as it doesn’t directly impact or coerce another.
Blacks are no longer under the yoke of another man and their votes are counted wholly as any other man.
The same for a woman. She is free to pursue any path she wishes and is free to participate in the electoral process.
Jews are free to worship Sabbath on Fridays or not. They are free to practice their faith in whatever manner they choose including living a strict Rabbinical life.
Lost on David is the core of social and religious culture in the country which has at it roots a deep Judeo-Christian heritage.
No point in denying it and waste of time to put up a an argument that has it’s axis, invented or glossed over history and synthetic emotions to substitute for any genuine intellect.
Further, David demonstrates a real lack of fundamental reading comprehension and sorely at odds with ___’s word.
Exodus 22:24
To lend one money who is in need it is better to lend without interest, the right thing to do, the human thing to and -—’s will.
Why? because the piling on of interest would make it more difficult for the person who is trying to resolve a personal problem, having nothing to with profit and only needing a hand up. That debt must be paid back and rightly so.
God has no proscription against lending money for a profit, for say a business venture.
Mercy on one who is need is entirely different than one who seeks a profit.
It right that God has ordained we improve our lot in life and in doing so we are better prepared to provide for your families and are in a superior position to help others with presumption of ego but that of helping a fellow child of God and even forgiving the debt when it is not possible the debtor can repay.
Forgiving the debt is also right if it is clear no one is taking advantage of the other and circumstances make it impossible for demand of debt.
God’s will then would be to say to the debtor, that person “Don’t worry about it”.
Your cup will be filled and overflowing.
“Is it not ironic to advocate Theocracy in economics while opposing it in social policy?”
A very interesting observation.
