Bible Note: Greetings Reighnskye! May I interject? I think that Doc makes an excellent point. Look up the laws concerning the Year of Jubilee in the OT and you will discover that the rights of ownership were very strictly protected by God's Law. The OT is filled with 'property rights' laws. Now, you also make an excellent point. I would paraphrase your point in the following manner. "While we are given the right to own things, the things should never own us!" :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
