Bible Note: I cry out scripture alone because that same message has been often used to discredit others. Sort of turning the table around don't you see. The Pharisees often justified themselves by hiding behind scripture, the letter of law rather living by the intent of the law. Is it sin to do business with a non Christian? No probably not Does it glorify God? No Do you stand a good chance of being cheated dealing with a sinner? Yes Is it wisdom to do business with a sinner? No When scripture warned us about being unequally yoked, telling us light has no business with darkness, was God setting up a pitfall for us to fall into sin or giving us wisdom? Giving us wisdom. Scripture tells us many places the sinful world is crafty when it comes to money. Scripture tells us to learn from the world's handling of money. Not so we can cheat but so we don't get cheated. Which brings us back to the question why would anyone want to deal with a person that because of sin will try to cheat you? Why ignore Scriptures admonishment not to have anything to do with them |
