It’s kind of amazing that some aspect of Christian identity was tied for centuries to the opposition of loans/interests/usury, and that’s just vanished. The Christian Dominionists who want to create a fascist theocratic ethnostate just don’t read the parts about debt jubilees every 7 years, or leaving part of your field unharvested for the widows and orphans; while they salivate over all of the stoning passages.
Just as amazing is the amount of apologia around the camel and the eye of the needle. There’s pseudo historical arguments that “eye of the needle” is a contrived way to describe a gate, or the one I saw here was “all things are possible through god, so the point is that god is powerful enough to save rich people.”
Christ was pretty clear, but people like money. Mammon is an easier god to serve than the one that asks you to pick up your cross and follow him.
Preach, brother. 🙏
Amazing summary
