Hi gregor, <<1. mortages cancelled. 2. servants released.3.bondages annulled.4. debts forgiven.5.lands reverted.6.new starts in business.7.Proclaim liberty throughout the land unto ALL inhabitants (Also written on the liberty bell).8.return to families.9. no sowing or reaping. 10. reap that which grows on its own.11.shall be holy.12. no oppression of anyone.13Fear Jehova in all your dealings..>> The fact that every seven years debts were forgiven made the economy of Israel much different than our own. That alone would force lenders to be conservative and not freely give loans to people who really don't need it or may get into trouble financially. Unlike today when we see debt being thrown at everyone regardless of whether they already owe a lot and may get into financial trouble or if they even need it. The whole idea of going into debt to buy things for fun was foriegn in God's economy. When someone gets into trouble and gets protection from creditors through bankrupcy the banks complain. Personal bankrupcies are dramatically increasing but the banks as well as the borrowers are to blame by making credit too easy. Now there is a movement by the banks to severely restrict or even eliminate the bankrupcy option but no offer to restrict credit so unwary people don't get snared by it. God certainly set up an economy that reflected His grace and His infinite wisdom. Bob

Hello Gregor and others, I've been reading your thread for about 3 weeks now and want to thank you for all of the time you all have put into it. I'm currently a senior in college and am soon to be embarking on the corporate world. I've been a Christian for a year and a half now, but none of my friends have interests in the corporate world or investing. I was therefore trying to battle all of the problems of money and my environment on my own. I've been praying about my future a lot and I'm very glad that God led me to this thread. You all have really helped me think about why I invest and why I shouldn't become cocky when one of my stocks doubles. I want to thank you for everything guys, and I hope to contribute to this thread in the future! God bless, Grant Cain
