Smile What the Bible says about Free markets, capitalism, regulation, micromanagement etc. - 04-11-2012, 08:00 PM

People have said that we are "hypocrites" because we oppose laws regulating pollution, tainted meat, "slavery" etc. while seeking to regulate people's bodies and private lives. They ask "if you can't trust government to figure out if lead poisoning is a good idea or not, why are you trusting government to wiretap, stripsearch, and execute US citizens without trial, and micromanage medieval societies on the other side of the world whose names you can't even spell?" If they read the Bible they would see how consistent we are.

The Bible supports free markets because wealthy property owners already follow Gods law. They are True Christians by definition (In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble: Proverbs 15:6)

In fact, many regulations are actually anti-regulations: they make it against the rules for a property owner to make and enforce rules. For example, we can't have rules to segragate drinking fountains, or do virginity tests on potential secretaries, etc. As more public places are privatized, we are seeing people arrested on new charges - for example, two men where arrested for holding hands in a privatized park in Utah. In a proper free-market, where everything is privately owned by people who are free to make as many rules as they want, things will be more tightly regulated and micromanaged. The difference is that God's Chosen will be doing the micromanaging.

Granted, some of the richest people in the world are Saudi Arabians, but even if they are hellbound they are doing God's work. We know this because God is rewarding them. If they were not doing God's work, they would be poor.

So, as we've always said, you can't expect a micromanager in Washington to properly figure out if inhaling lead particles is healthy or not. After all, the Bible says nothing about that, except that we aren't suppose to worry about what we eat, or if we will even eat at all: (Matthew 6:34, Matthew 6.25) because we are living in The Final Days: (Mt.16:28, Mt.23:36, Mt.24:34, Mt.26:64, Mk.9:1, Mk.13:30, Lk.9:27, Lk.21:32, Phil.4:5, Heb.1:2, Rev.22:20)

However, who to kill, and who to invade, is clearly set out by the Bible. For who to invade (and then kill) the Bible says, well, pretty much everybody. The Middle East is named specifically (Joshua 1:3-4) as is Africa: (Ethiopia (old term for all of Africa), and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword. - Ezekiel 30:5) It is also God's Will that sinful and non-Christian countries be exterminated (Deuteronomy 2:33-34, Numbers 21:34-35, 1 Samuel 15:2-3, Joshua 6:21. Joshua 10:40) so that covers everyone else. This will save time for Jesus when he comes to destroy the earth in a couple of days (Revelation 9:7-10, Revelation 11:5-10).

In short, we support free markets, and freedom isn't free™. We support limited government: government that limits the rights of non-Christians.
