What are some verses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the answers I need are not in the BibleGateway.com search. You'd be amazed at how much needed information I have gotten by asking these questions on here.

I didn't try to find that myself, but it sounds familiar. Â Isn't it also a US law that you can try and file bankruptcy every 7 years, but not sooner? That doesn't mean the judge has to allow you to get the bankruptcy every 7 years. I'm just thinking maybe ancient Israel did clear all debts every 7 years and that's why US law uses the 7 year rule.

I am not sure to tell the truth. But that is not to say that I am without understanding concerning Gods will for me as related to debt. God does not desire for me to be in debt to anyone other than Him. I have debt due to the enormous amount of sin that ruled my life over the initial years before beginning my journey with Christ as well as continued sin in my life after my conversion. As I have been being changed by God my sin has reduced and my wealth increased. As a direct result my debt has been decreased. I suspect that one day I will be debt free except for the debt unto God that I can never repay in full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
