I remember my civics instructor in 12th grade beginning the economics quarter with the words “ Every dollar you earn or spend is an economic vote for the success of that endeavor.” . So you lend moral support by earning from or spending on a cause. So as Jennifer Garner might say “what’s in your morals?”
Was it wrong for Joseph to work for the pharo.
The question is, where do you draw the line? Many companies have caved in and support all these LGBT agenda items, such as Target pushing the transgender restroom access issue.
Most companies are not run from a Christian or faith viewpoint in the first place. Depending how strict people want to be, some may have a hard time finding companies to work for, invest in, or be customers of, if there is an expectation that biblical principles will be followed.
Is it wrong to call yourself a church and never talk about abortion or political issues?
Should a Christian participate in funding abortions and sex changes? No, but they do. All of them. Every day.
This issue applies to me directly and is of great concern actually.
Plundering the Egyptians was fine.
Legalism.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
He's drawing too fine a line here. What if your 401(K) is invested in many mutual funds? And Netflix is one of them? What about subscribing to Netflix? Is that a sin too?
Headline somewhat misleading (I know who the audience is) - should read: “Is it wrong for Christians to work for companies with anti-Christian views?”
In the states enforcing the LGBTQ curriculum K-12 in 2020, some teachers are hanging it up and also substitutes may be at a premium . . they have already lessened the qualifications for both.
A Servant of a wicked king was asked “How can you justify working for such a vile wicked king”? and his answer was along the lines of “Because I’m the only moral influence he has, can you imagine how wicked he would be if he didn’t have anyone who represents God working for him?”
He viewed his job as a moral responsibility. We are to be IN the world, but not OF the world- in other-words, We work and play in the world but are not to be part of their sin- We can work and NOT be a part of their sin-
Whoever you work for, You are placed there by God, and have a responsibility to work as ‘unto the Lord’
Servants in the bible were told to honor their bosses- no matter whether the boss was wicked or not- they had an obligation to serve just as vigorously as if they worked for a moral and just boss-
IF we only worked for pure companies that didn’t engage in unethical practices, most of us could not find jobs- There are only a very few companies like that-
The govenrment is full of Anti-Christian, immoral swamp culture hedonism etc- BUT, Christians can and should work in gov as influences for good- influences for morality
We Christians are the ONLY restrainers around beside the Holy Spirit, that keep companies and evil people from all out evil- We are an influence for good- We are called to be a part of the restraining influence in this world,- When Christ comes back and removes Christians, There will no longer be a Restrainer to reign in evil- Evil will have free reign- it will be hell on earth- Demons will walk among people and noone will think twice about it
I say no if you can work there without your daily blood pressure going through the roof. A job is just a job.
I eventually left but have come to the conclusion that most all corporations are evil PC leftist Ahole organizations, including my current employers.
No...it is your choice to work for them, or not. Don’t ask others the question, ask yourself.
That’s the vast majority of companies today.
