Bible Question: IS IT A SIN TO FILE BANKRUPTCY |
Bible Answer: Greetings, Since there is no scripture that I know of I will tell you what I believe. I believe that it lays with the reason for the bankruptsy. Sometimes we get into a hardship because of something that was beyond our control - such as a medical problem, loss of a job, disability or other situations beyond our control. When those situations arise, if we have been good stewards of our finances I do not believe that it is a sin to file a bankruptsy. However if one is filing because of greed, carelessness or the like then I believe that we are responsible for our debts. I hope that helps. prayon |
