Bible Question (short): Can we borrow or lend? |
Question (full): I am doing "financial freedom" course at church by the Institute in basic Life priciples (Men's manual,Volume II) and basically, we are not to borrow and also not lend. I find it difficult to comply. If I want to buy a house and I do not have the money to pay in full. How am I ever to own a house. Even if I were to save for several years ( same amount of the instalments) by the time I got the money, inflation considering, the cost of the house then would have been higher and I'm back to square one. Does it mean that God does not want us to own a house? About not lending - Matthew 5:42 Give to him who ask of you and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. Who is right? |
