Today, most 18 year olds could walk into just about any bank and be entrusted with thousands of dollars of credit. We as Americans take debt and its accompanying, exorbitant interest for granted. But this wasn’t always the case. Old Testament Israel, the ancient philosophers, the early church, medieval societies, and the reformers all enforced strict prohibitions on any usury, or at the very least, capped interest rates and prohibited their use to exploit the poor.

There are a lot of debates going on in the Christian world right now. Many of these, whether about politics, culture, or even doctrine, seem to spiral out of control because people are talking past each other. Often, the problem isn’t the facts; it’s the categories. When we confuse what belongs to the individual versus the group, the gospel versus ethics, or the church versus the state, we end up with chaos instead of clarity. In today’s episode, we’ll explore how thinking in proper categories can transform not only how we engage with the world but also how we honor God in the process.

Many Christians simply assume that Judaism esteems the Bible, minus the New Testament. Unfortunately, this is simply not true. Instead, Judaism has its own “New Testament” - the Talmud. For Christians, the New Testament is the fulfillment, and therefore, the interpretive lens, for properly understanding the Old Testament. But in Judaism, the Talmud functions as their “New Testament,” which effectively corrupts and totally undermines all of the Old Testament. In other words, Judaism does not maintain HALF of the Bible, it effectively discards ALL of the Bible. Watch the whole series now by becoming a member at https://patreon.com/rightresponseministries
