What if we still followed the Year of Jubilee laws?? What if every 7 years we gave back the land that we took and forgave debts? The Bible has much to say about poverty; in fact, it talks more about poverty and injustice than it does about homosexuality and yet we (the church) constantly focus on the issue of homosexuality. Perhaps our priorities are a little messed up.
Did you know that for every $1 the developing world receives in grants, it spends $13 repaying debts? (http://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Facts.asp#fact13#fact13) What would happen if we were to reinstate the Year of Jubilee? Shouldn't forgiveness permeate every aspect of our lives, including the government and international affairs?
