[UUCP] Jesus and student loan forgiveness

[revpauld444]

*Hi Everyone, I thought I'd share this with you. I doubt this article
(originally dated 2019 and updated in 2020) would sway the minds of most of
those who are whining about the forgiveness of student debt, but it is a
very enlightening article about the Jewish practice of the shmitah (the
seventh, or sabbatical, year) and the forgiveness of debts and how Jesus
intentionally used it in what is commonly called the Lord's Prayer. *
*I suspect most right-wing evangelicals will ignore it much as they now do
with everything else Jesus taught. Peace and Light, Paul *

*"God is not a Christian. God is not a Jew or a Muslim or a HIndu or a
Buddhist. All of those are human systems which human systems have created
to help us walk into the mystery of god. I honor my tradition, I walk
through my tradition, but I don't think my tradition defines god, it only
points me to god**…**You and I are not fallen people. We are emerging
people.**”**  ~~~ John Shelby Spong*
