You
know how atheists never venture outside of the Old Testament lest
they run into teachings of Jesus that convict them of wrong? And you
know how atheists accuse Christians of cherry-picking verses to make
our case? Do you think atheists ever do the same thing? Like, have
you ever seen them ranting about this?
“At
the end of every seventh year you must cancel the debts of everyone
who owes you money.
Do
not be mean-spirited and refuse someone a loan because the year for
cancelling debts is close at hand. If you refuse to make the loan and
the needy person cries out to the Lord, you will be considered guilty
of sin."
Deuteronomy 15:1,9
Deuteronomy 15:1,9
Unlike
their neighbours, unlike our modern industrial societies, people in Israel (those atheists call bronze-age goat herders) were to make sure
they did nothing to take advantage of each other.
Peace, Mercy and
Justice were then and are today to be the hallmark of God's people.
