Bible Note: Beja I missed the obvious question why would you want to do business with a non Christian? Before salvation we are all tainted with sin so it would make sense that a non Christian would cheat you. You can expect to be cheated. In the case or Amazon it gets blurred in that Amazon is the middleman and the actual business you may be buying from could be anyone, Christian or not. Also I am sure almost has a story of dealing with a so called Christian and being robbed blind. Years ago there was a Christian boycott of 7 - 11. It had an effect. Many went out of business but the ones that remain have for the most part stopped selling porn. Personally I seek out Christian busnesses, likewise I avoid those that openly mock Christianity or sell products that promote sin. I do my best to be a good steward and not blend into the world. Have I bought from Amazon? Yes but it was from a Christian business that does business on Amazon. Perhaps I should rethink that? |
