Usury & Extortion
Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jan 16, 2024 (message contributor)
Summary: Why do western banks engage in usury and extortion? Why do Christians go along with it without trying to change this practice?
One who increases his possessions by usury and extortion Gathers it for him who will pity the poor. (Proverbs 28:8 NKJV)
This is a promise that the lending scheister will not live long enough as a business to enjoy his ill gotten gains, but they will be inherited by a person of superior morality who pities the poor.
What about us? Do we want to be part of creating a better society or continue the predatory ways of the past? You decide!
