Greetings glory, I take it to mean that you think that it is against the bible But suppose one has been a good steward of their finances but something happens such as an accident or illness and they can no longer pay their debts - then what? prayon | ||||||
2 | A SIN TO FILE BANKRUPTCY | 1 Pet 4:10 | Glory Bound | 129766 | ||
No, I do not believe bankruptcy is against scripture. Not in and of itself. What I was attempting to point out is that the more you ask, the more "opinions" you will likely hear concerning the matter. For a scriptural answer to your question, one needs to do some in depth scriptural research, or find someone who has done such and is willing to share their findings. It is unlikely you will find many who have done this, yet there is no doubt that you will find many who are willing to give an opinion. It is my experience that opinions are rarely worth much more than the paper they are written on. In the case of an opinion which is posted on the internet... well, hopefully you understand what I am saying. God Bless GB |

3 | A SIN TO FILE BANKRUPTCY | 1 Pet 4:10 | EdB | 129777 | ||
GB Let's look at your answer in light of Jesus' admonishment to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, and to do unto them as we would have them do unto us. Let us suppose that you paid into a health account or a retirement account and just as your were reaching the point in your life where you needed to draw from that account you found out they filed bankruptcy and you were out of all your money. How would you feel? Would you want that done to you? I think you would be feel betrayed, and cheated. How do you think a bank feels when someone who has promised to pay a debt files bankruptcy and the bank is out their money? Do you think they would feel cheated, lied to, betrayed. It isn't how we want to be treated so it shouldn't be the way we treat others. I think bankruptcy is neccessary to prevent people losing everything and ending up without hope but I think as Christians contrary to what the courts may say, we still need to try to repay those debts.

Was I presumptious in thinking that your point would be the first consideration of a "devout" Christian. I use the word devout becaust too many who claim to be Christians fool only themselves. GB |
