Don't scare me like that with your John Mark Comer conversation...I was about to lose my faith if you told me you thought he sucked.

Hey thanks for the reply! Love the conversation and the podcast so I hope my comment didn't come across as snarky! I agree that the Bible doesn't specifically command us not to use it but it seems to me that it pretty clearly always refers to not going into debt as the path of wisdom and an indicator of God's blessing. I guess my thought is if you have to go in debt for something that, by definition, means you can't afford it. Lastly I think we have to include risk/anxiety in the conversation.

@Abraham's Wallet : Hey Andy. Nowhere in Scripture are we commanded not to use debt either. If there is impatience driving a purchase with debt, I agree that it’s a bad move and likely even sin driven. If a person has conviction that they should avoid all debt that’s reasonable too. But to say that all debt is antithetical to the teachings of Scripture ignores the points we tried to make in this episode. Debt as a tool and not a way to get what you can’t otherwise afford is not wrong.

Nowhere....nowhere in Scripture is debt ever referenced in a positive light. The idea of good debt is rooted in impatience not the Bible.
