Im willing to bet that the Hebrew's that were in bondage for 400 years in Egypt...had it better than we do nowadays.

The state that we are in, due to what the (global) banking system has in place...is total bondage. Worse than the Hebrew's ever had it!

Us believers are freed, and wander the desert for years looking for the (promised land) 2nd coming.

Lessons from the Hebrew's experience include, don't grumble! They made God angry several times for their grumbling (and were chastised for it!)
 
If your in debt your not free because you owe a debt with interest.

Bankers confiscate goods from the people (via divers weights and measures), and then lend their own goods back to them. A double whammy. The average person continues to move ever backward, while bankers continue to line their pockets. Who will defend the people from bankers?

There are two different commands at work. We are commanded to defend those who cannot defend themselves:

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Psalm 82:3 King James Version

As far as grumbling, the Israelites were punished for grumbling against the Lord. We are commanded not to grumble against the Lord.

You are not grumbling against us, but against the Lord.” Exodus 16:8b NIV

I will leave it to you to figure out how to defend the powerless, while showing respect to the Lord.
 
The problem doesn't come with loans. The problem comes with bankers using divers weights and measures to confiscate things from people who can't afford to lose them. Bankers are particularly oppressive to the fixed income elderly, and the poor.

The poor and helpless elderly are two groups that Christians have been particularly commanded to defend from oppression.

Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD. Proverbs 20:10 KJV

Its just the way the world rolls. Its full of hypocricy, double standards, and robbery.
 
You can speak out against robbery. Its just not right for bankers to take things away from the poor and elderly, and give the loot to rich hedge fund managers and such.
 
The Hebrews under Moses only had like 600 laws. I live under like hundreds of thousands of laws and regulations. How am i suppose to remember them all.
 
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: Romans 13:3 KJV
 
Freely give and freely recieve.
