God will protect the nation through our economic debates, whether we agree or not agree on the extent of “free trade”. That is my point. He has not spelled out any specific requirements with regard to an economic system or trade philosophy.
God is very interested in what we do as a nation with those things obviously stated to offend Him. Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people.
If unbridled international free trade is a correct course, principally, then fine. But it will also fail, and turn to bite us, if we don’t have God’s protecting hand on our nation.
I disagree, at least in part.
Jesus certainly seemed to favor the man who would not bury his money in the ground, but instead used it to help his neighbors. I think nearly every capitalist does the country more good than ANY Communist!
Joseph proved that Tax Cuts make a country wealthy, during the Seven Fat Years.
There are many places where the Bible seems to show favoritism to the honest capitalist.
