Christians & Debt: The Wicked Borrow but Do Not Pay Back - Ask Pastor Tim

How should Christians view and treat financial debt? Should Christians ever get into debt? Are different kinds of debt more significant or urgent than others? Should Christians ignore paying off debt for the sake of using their money to help others?

I'm deeply convicted... I have lots of debt even to my sister. Because she's my sister, i tend to overlook my debts to her. I feel so wicked. What a wicked attitude.

I'm wicked too. I own my mom alot of money from credit card debt fixing my car and buying shoes and everything. I paid her some back. But I own her so much more

Biblical wisdom 🙌🏾 🙏🏽 ✝️ We just live in a society buy now, pay later. We have to fight that. He is so right it's just greed and living within our means.

Contrast the mindset he refers to from the 20:07 to 20:12 time stamps, with what Philippians 4:10-13 teaches us. And by the way, what he is teaching here also matches up in congruity with what Dave Ramsey teaches. Godly contentment is a powerful and divine thing. Praise Jesus Christ.

I am in a situation with my student loans where I was lied to in the beginning. I have now paid back over $20,000 more than I borrowed and I still owe way more than I have ever paid.

I don't think if you are lied to you can say you agreed to what you were given. But your conscience has to be pure.

If you get in an agreement, you're oblidged to conform. If you borrow money from family member no matter how small, have it written down and sign it. This way will save everyone from forgetting the amount or misunderstanding its a gift. Hi, a Muslim liked this video.

I appreciate that he starts by talking about borrowing between people with relationships, like friends, family, or church. That's clearly the primary intent of Psalm 37 v 21. But excommunicating people for credit card debt (which he mentions at 16:38) seems pretty wrong to me. I disagree with that position. I could understand if it kept a person out of a position of church leadership, though.

When I was young, foolish and mentally ill I ran up over $100,000 in unsecured credit card debt. I have religious OCD and don't have impulse control. To me, money was just figures on a page. I was out of touch with reality and declared bankruptcy. God allowed the Israelites to be debt free every 7 years and have their land returned to them on the year of jubilee. All authority comes from God and that government has passed laws that allow people to declare bankruptcy and become debt free. Does taking bankruptcy make me WICKED and ineligible of inheriting the kingdom? Lost, can't be saved? Would your mind change if I take or had taken bankruptcy again?

At the 11:06 point: bingo. But we have a society with a culture now that teaches excuse-making, even when you have the money and are perfectly capable of repaying it on time. And at 18:09, his response (to the lady’s comments who was off camera) should shock and wake up any thinking Christians (and immediately discourage them from wanting to buy pretty much anything, on credit) who believe what God says in his word, which she cited.

The problem I have with this answer, is that the banks and credit card companies (money changers) are not actually loaning their own money, they’re literally creating it out of thin air. On top of that, using predatory lending practices. I don’t believe that is the same kind of de t that you borrowed from family or a friend.

Well we have paid everyone's war debts down within years and sent our money to other nations. So we suffer here, but this excess on "interest" is the bad situation, as the money changers took the Gold and did fractional banking.then after keeping that Gold charged interest on the paper left !!!!!

I am already living in a caravan and have nothing left but am constantly begged for money by online beggars..what do I do?

@illbehonest Жыл бұрын

From your brief note it sounds like the "so many other people asking me for money" are situations that you should say no to, especially if by giving them money it is only increasing your personal debt. You say they are people "begging for money by online beggars" -- it is one thing to have a close family member need help with rent, but to have someone ask for money online, who knows how verifiable it is on what they are going to use that money for. And if you say no to giving someone money and they try to manipulate you into feeling bad...just remember, by saying no you are seeking to get out of the debt... and the "lot of debt" you have should be something to feel conviction over. The Lord by calling you to obey him in one area (get out of debt) will not cause you to sin in another (by not giving to someone who asks). Hope this helps.

I disagree but I just have different moral standards. As long as I am not hurting anyone, a person, another human, I dont feel bad. I dont care about Verizons bottom line. I dont care about GE MONEY BANK or whoever 's bottom line. I would pay back debt to a family member or person but I don't care about big corporations. Period

Well, the first thing that must be answered is whose name is the debt in? Is it in your ALL CAPITAL letters name? That name is your US 14th amendment citizen, or you US taxpayer. Under the Constitution we must pay our debts with gold coin,since they removed the gold coin we can not pay any debt under Constitutional law. All debts must be discharged through proper set off. There are collateral accounts for all our debts to be discharged please Google Treasury collateral management and monitoring or 31 CFR part 202,225,380. Research this and the Bureau of Fiscal service public debt. The churches and the ones that are teaching the people are teaching false doctrine. Why do you think that almost all tombstones around the world are in ALL CAPITAL letters names??? Can anyone answer this question?
