The New Testament contains references to usury, notably in the Parable of the talents:
"Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury."
—Matthew 25:27
"Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.."
—Matthew 25:27
"…Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow. Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?"
—Luke 19:22-23
The Koran has the following verses:
O you who believe, you shall not take usury, compounded over and over. Observe God, that you may succeed. (Al-'Imran 3:130)
And for practicing usury, which was forbidden, and for consuming the people's money illicitly. We have prepared for the disbelievers among them painful retribution. (Al-Nisa 4:161)
The usury that is practiced to increase some people's wealth, does not gain anything at God. But if people give to charity, seeking God's pleasure, these are the ones who receive their reward many fold. (Ar-Rum 30:39)
While Jews are allowed to practise usury on other tribes, Muslims are forbidden to practise usury at all. Christians have always been the, er, piggy, in the middle.
Catholicism and Christianity in general, being mostly stuffed to its rafters with feminists, liberals and Commine Pinko Paedo priests, is no longer fit for purpose, so it should be dumped in favour of a religion more fit for the purpose of maintaining the morals of the West, before its people fall into the slough of irreversible degeneracy and disgrace.
Usury is clearly harmful since it encourages irresponsible borrowing and lending in individuals and governments. This, as well as LIBOR manipulating shenanigans, is the cause of the credit crunch.
There is no point in the Pope converting to Judaism because that would perpetuate the status to quo.
The only religion for the new and old Pope to convert to would be Islam which states unequivocably as I have shown above that usury is forbidden.
I propose that the papal candidates be interviewed for their views on usury and whether they are prepared to stick their neck out and propose its abolition.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Should-the-Pope-convert-to-Islam/141277252691901 has polls about Popes.
Muslims the world over should extend the dawah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawah to the old and new Popes to reinforce this point. The point is to tell them they can still be Pope, but Pope of Islam.
But the Church of Nicaea made usury an illegal practise which is why the Jews sometimes faced expulsion.
ReplyDeleteSo Christianity has had pussies, liberals, feminazis and paedos but Islam has suicide terrorists, woman beaters, political supremacists and most of all, PAEDOPHILES! Of course, it follows a paedophile prophet!
I will stay with Christianity thank you but only you would be too thick to know that.
Christians have forgotten about usury being illegal now, haven't they?
ReplyDeleteHow typically courageous of a Christian chauvinist to say Muhammad was a paedo, and anonymously too!
Oh really??!! Have you not realise that the Jewish kikes who control the fractional reserve banks? And the evil twisted multinational corporations?!! It is the Jews who run the things as their evil poisonous Talmudic faith tells them to hate Gentiles.
ReplyDeleteI am not a chauvinist, you are a vile poisonous slag and it is Christian socialism that gave away to the formation of credit unions as well.
The Jews respect the institution of the family and those who call themselves Christian do not.
ReplyDeleteThe Jews are prepared to do the work to keep themselves together as Jews, while gentiles are lazy licentious bums who divorce each other at the drop of a hat and are drunk fornicating slags and drug-taking bastards who say it is OK to be SSMs.
What happened to those Christian Socialist credit unions then?
Jews respect the institution of the family? HAHAHA! Jews are responsible for Feminism such as SSMs and homosexuality, Tel Aviv is described as the most gay friendly city in Israel and it is Jews who have done everything they have to pollute Gentile lifestyles in Hollywood and the education system in the USA.
