So I just set up payments to pay my credit card debt. What does the Bible say about debt. Is it Christian.

You did the right thing by arranging to pay it off, which is the Christian thing to do. Debt is best avoided, because it makes you the servant to the lender. Arrange your financial affairs such that you can avoid debt in the future. Secured debt (such as a mortgage on a house) is in a different category but it's still better to avoid it if possible... which is rare.

What sort of tangible assets do you have in mind?
Food, clothing and shelter will be some of the tangible assets to survive what's coming.

I believe credit card debt will at some point be cancelled because the majority of people won't have enough computer digits in their account, or they will let us use a basic income to pay off all our credit card debt.

I am predicting the powers-that-be will get rid of credit cards and give us a monthly universal basic income.
And what good will that do when the marketplace is empty?

And irrelevant to the thread topic.

Don't hijack the thread with your conspiracies.
Universal Basic Income is about to happen; haven't you ever read about the digital dollar?

That will destroy what little is left of the economy; this is all by design. :(
Luke 21:36
“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”
