Similarly, in Deuteronomy 15, God says that every seven years, creditors should “remit the claim that is held against a neighbor” because “the Lord’s remission has been proclaimed.” In the New Testament, Jesus instructs his followers to pray “forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” (Matthew 6:12, Luke 11:4). Scripture is clear when it comes to debt abolition and the freeing of the debtor: God demands a society that delivers justice and freedom to all and rejects a society that physically and rhetorically shackles its people.
Yeah, it's too bad some folks don't know how to believe the Lord's promises to provide for all their needs.
There's something wrong when people claiming to be Christians go broke.. it normally points to being lazy and otherwise just dropping out of life to become a bum.
Since you defrauded the banks... you got money later and decided to not honor your word then either.
No matter how you slice it... you made a promise and refused to keep it even later when things got better financially.

Loans can be a good thing or a bad thing,
For instance transportation, and the all new electric cars that no one can afford to buy,
The only visible way for some is to take the car out on a loan for 4 years only having payed half of the cars value off, providing the car does standard milage, you can trade that car in and get a brand new one for another 4 years.
But what if you can't afford to pay that loan of anymore ?
Would it be moral to keep on paying and go without food ?
There is nothing moral about a lot of loans. There solely based on business.
And loans do provide desperate help for those in need.
I can't stand those people who have this moral view point that no one should ever take out loans.
Well they should try living in the real world, where by most people have no other option.
I was one of the lucky ones, I got the ball rolling before the debt collectors came, and what is moral about those people.
I basically got 65000 UK pound of unsecured debt from over 25 different lenders to be payed of @ 119.00 a week for the next 5 years. Instead of the original 1000 a week for the next 5 years
The best part is I got a cash Loan for the cars and not a higher purchase loan
Basically it was a loan to do what you want with the money, so I bought a car with it. That way if it goes bad for you they can't take your car of you 🙂.
So the good news is I have a house full of goodies and loads of boss power tools.
I bought Two cars, as I bought two of the same kind with the Loan, one for me and one for my partner, its saves you a fortune on mechanical bills, because you can fault find easy when you have two identical cars.
And instead of paying all theese 65000 loans of what was close to 1000 pound a month, I'm now paying them of at 119.00 a month.
And I still have all my goodies.
By time my 5 year agreement is up I will have 70 percent of the loans written off.
I think you could call that a moral victory 🙂 because to me there would have been no morality shown to me if I had not got an IVA in place
When a person can not pay back a loan,
A lone company will pester people to death. But if you manage to get a legally binding iva in place they can't touch you 👍.

The poor must go about naked, without any clothing.
They harvest food for others while they themselves are starving.
They press out olive oil without being allowed to taste it,
and they tread in the winepress as they suffer from thirst.
The groans of the dying rise from the city,
and the wounded cry for help,
yet God ignores their moaning. Job 24:10
Job's observation of life. GOD does not help everyone. I don't know why.

John your wasting your time with him, he has an agenda with Christians.
To say Christians should not go broke in this day an age and call them bums.
Shows what a malice disrespectful person he is. He looking for reactions and finding good excuses to get them.
The fact that Christians can get loans in the first place is because you have to be able to have a good credit history.
The reason why people get credit cards
Is so then can build up a good credit rating to get a mortgage or fiance for a car.
Theese day John people with good credit history are having to get loans just to buy food. There is also a real shortage of food all over the world.
John be advised stay well clear
