Од страна на Jonathan S. Rose
Title: Of Interest
Topic: The Word
Summary: The Old Testament commands us not to charge interest on loans, but a couple of parables in the New Testament chide us for NOT, at the very least, putting our money in the bank and getting interest? What is going on?

Psalms 15
1
Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
2
He who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;
3
He who doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
4
In whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;
5
he who doesn't lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken. A Poem by David.
