The question of fiat currency has already been covered in post #35. Some readers use text-to-speech (probably they can't read) and miss out on the hyperlinks or numerical charts. The charts wouldn't mean much for someone who can't count of course, even so in my earlier example from 520 BC in verse 12c it was made clear that the units employed were units of weight.
So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
Now metal tokens can be used a fiat currency. In some cases it's turned out that the value of the metal was more than the value of the token. Gold sovereigns would be an example of that. You can still probably use them on a bus but they're only worth £1 towards your bus fare. If this is not part of your theonomics syllabus it's definitely something you need to add.
A minor detail, since the penalties or values in question come from a period when shekels were tied to a bimetallic standard, the value of a fiat shekel is irrelevant. God was also clear that the same weights should be used for all transactions, whether buying or selling. Theonomics would also include a discussion about Temple standards, whether they were exempt from standard metrology and if so, why.

Hello Mitza, thank you for your response. I respect you've been steeped in this Christian community for some time, and that commands a degree of prestige; your post gave me a slight chuckle, women and economics do not mix. Anecdotally, I admire your effort to include of a pithy of Biblical reinforcement, which is ultimately the foundation of theonomics, hats off to you.
Temple standards are a Jewish sham, and reading the Bible, one can assert that skekels are little more than fancy silver coated bit of sawdust.
Exodus 30:15
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
This confirms that shekels are easily broken by poor people. Who else would think to shake up the value of currency and confuse the poor, none other than Jewish templars?
2 Kings 7:16
And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
While cunning to go out and poop in Syrian tents, who wouldn't? To be cheapskate'd on frivolities of flour and barley is appalling when you look at today and see what they try to gyp you in exchange for a "skekel".
I would like to incite this nugget straight from the financial wizard, Eric Trump, his assertion that 1 shekel is worth 1 Trump book.
“It will mean you sell three extra books, you make three extra shekels,” he said. “I think people read through this. I know people read through this.”
This is a pointed statement in that shekels are a monetary standard for Jewish greed. Everyone knows that Trumps wisdom is universal and priceless, and shouldn't cost a cent. Only Jews would think to profit off our President, and who else but Eric Trump knows this better.
I see the subject is of interest to you; I'd be happy to teach you more if you'd wish to peruse my first volume, Huckerin' Down on Theonomics Vo. I with a special discount at only 25$ for the the first copy. Practically a steal with the advice I give, you'd practically be breaking the 7th commandment.

My goodness! Dear Sister Basilissa, I think you have hit the nail squarely on the head here. And, I do thank you so much for mentioning this. Why on Earth would any servant of the buy a book from someone who has posted a highly-distasteful photo of himself -- not to mention, giving out questionable recipe recommendations! And, his profile has this very clear warning: "Phucker67 is fearful, unbelieving, a liar, a whoremonger and abominable. Has a place in the Lake of Fire secured."
Oh, how grateful I am to the Almighty for devoted Pastors and brethren who conduct their extremely thorough investigations of unsaved trash; all to protect us, here at , and to I give

In matters of finance my dear, it could come in handy. I am fresh to Landover and haven't had the luxury of having True Christianity rub off on me. I hope with enough exposure, Jesus will guide improved quality in my work.

Indeed, Sister. I believe it is safe to judge the quality of his book based on the writing sample provided here. Can you imagine the sheer horror of opening his book and seeing more images like that?! That would be torture, and True Christians™ do not deserve to be tortured!

Dear Mr. Hucker: I simply must comment on this statement, as you are in error here. I do so hope that you will not mind my clarifying the truth, for your benefit.
One does not have "True Christianity rub off" onto other people; it's not quite that simple. The glorious gift of Salvation by the shed of the is not received merely by associating with believers here at . Goodness, we have many, many visitors to our blessed corner of the interwebs and, yet, very few will accept the Truth for what It really is. This Redemption does not involve osmosis, Dear. It requires a recognition of one's sinful nature and how your sins (the very sins that you prefer to keep hidden) are the reason why the gave great Sacrifice on Calvary's cross, so that you could be saved from the fires of -- which you most definitely deserve.
Luke 23:33 "And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified , and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left."
Revelation 1:5 "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto that loved us, and washed us from our sins in own blood".
Might I suggest that you devote a large portion of your day to reading, very carefully, the blessed -- instead of making unfounded assumptions that will only keep you on the highway to ?

I see I am starting to acquire some silly awards which is quite disconcerting. One is a emotioncon with headache and another is a slimy lightbulb. Nonetheless, I will take them in stride, I know finance is a confusing matter, and being an old soul, many bulbs in my home are dim, borderline an orange glow.
I hope we can rectify this animosity, I don't wish to sue this wonderful church for libel.

Oh, my goodness! How you've brought great merriment to me, Mr. Hucker, with your very silly statement about suing ! When I read your statement, it caused me to laugh so much that I almost dropped my lovely Crown Derby tea plate with freshly-baked cranberry & orange scones! Your joke is of the same type as those which one used to see on those tabloid covers whilst waiting in line at the supermarket checkout (sample attached).
Dear me, I haven't laughed so hard in ages, and I can't wait to share this with the McGill Street ladies at this week's Prayer Meeting, Bible Study & Afternoon Tea & Social. I'm sure the laughter will be contagious! Sue ? Oh, pul-lease, Louise!

If I do pursue the lawsuit, kindly pay in US dollars, not shekels, merci beaucoup. Also I intend to restore an appropriate photo of myself alone I'm fully discharged and return to port.

Goodness me, such a minor commotion! I assume our lawyers are still dealing with such frivolous claims with the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram?

This was part of the plan -- wound them where it hurts, namely their money. Effectively, since the US ultimately won that war, the shekel cannot compare to the US dollar, I'd say not even 0.000051% a fraction of its initial value. When clients come to me, I don't even need to tell them to throw their shekels away as I don't take on Jew clients in the first place. So, for most normal people the shekel debate is a non-issue.

Perhaps it has escaped your astute economic mind that the Shekel as a currency unit did not exist until 1980? (I assume you're referring to the twentieth century.) Then it was not revalued until a mere fifteen years from the turn of the millennium. Prior to 1948 their nation did not exist. Perhaps you're getting confused with Pakistan? They've also existed since 1948 but had their own currency from the outset. If you're thinking of arbitrage FYI the international currency code (ISO 4217) for the Pakistan Rupee is PKR.

Ma'am, it's not an enjoyable feeling being corrected, though I will confide, my theonomics books are under major peer review. As my next pursuit is a requisite essay to study the Bible, renounce my funny ways, and find Jesus for real, I hope to return with a broadened perspective to the subject.

Perhaps a good area for research may be the reasons why reimbursement using silver was commanded in the first place. Many instances come up using the OK search function at the KJV site, linked as follows:

HI. I have a question? Info: My girlfriend and I had pre-marrital sex many years ago. During a "fight", she left me, married another man, had two girls and divorce around the 7,8 year mark. She had been divorced or about 20 years now. We both were virgins when we slept together. Now, 33 years later, do i still need to pay the "bride-price" to clear my conscience or consider it "done" because she left me without my paying the bride-price first?

Hi Twinshapes,
How would people be able to tell if they don´t know you? Please be so kind to introduce yourself here. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.
Jeremiah 6:21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
Best wishes for the people in Ukraine.

The bride price is paid to compensate the bride's father for the loss of his property, the daughter. If she refused to marry you, then you took no property from him and you do not need to pay the bride price. Her husband must pay. So that's the good news. The bad news? You need to be stoned to death for fornication.

No, the good news is that we can't stone him to death in this country (Titus 3:1). The bad news is that he's going to Hell for eternity when he dies even though that won't be happening at our hands.
