Nga Jonathan S. Rose

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?

Esaias 10:20-23
20
Et erit in die illa : non adjiciet residuum Israël, et hi qui fugerint de domo Jacob, inniti super eo qui percutit eos ; sed innitetur super Dominum, Sanctum Israël, in veritate.
21
Reliquiæ convertentur ; reliquiæ, inquam, Jacob ad Deum fortem.
22
Si enim fuerit populus tuus, Israël, quasi arena maris, reliquiæ convertentur ex eo ; consummatio abbreviata inundabit justitiam.
23
Consummationem enim et abbreviationem Dominus Deus exercituum faciet in medio omnis terræ.
