Originally posted by seanD View PostThe scriptures also give admonitions about countries going into debt (Deuteronomy 28:12). Long story short, if a country is in debt, it can't care for its own poor, much less foreigners. That's why we don't acknowledge quote-mining atheists lecturing to us about scripture.

Originally posted by Terraceth View PostDeuteronomy 28:12 isn't an admonition about countries going into debt. The context is that it's talking about how blessed Israel would be if it follows God's decrees. One of the blessings would be that Israel would be so prosperous it would only be lending and wouldn't need to borrow. To read that as some kind of admonition about countries going into debt requires one to divorce it entirely from its context.

Can it be left to the private sector?
