Jesus Usury

The question often arises whether the currency trading (Forex) is truly the game, and, therefore, morally reprehensible. The Bible – the book morality code for many people – say anything to alter the currency? You bet it does. Let's take a quick look at how to change the currency dealt in the Bible.

Wrong when violating moral principles

The history of St. John Chapter 2 of the New Testament recounts a situation Jesus encounters when he enters the Temple of Jerusalem. Now, the temple was a place where Jews from all over the known world went to worship and to offer sacrifices for their sins as a means of spiritual purification. Therefore, it was considered sacred. When Jesus comes, He realizes that the leaders of the temple were conducting business within the confines of the sacred edifice and began to reprimand the liable with suppliers. Not only is there a change in the money and the sale of animals for sacrifice, but sellers were actually incurred in fraudulent and dishonest transactions, taking advantage of those who are not fortunate enough to bring their sacrifices with them. In its context, the actions of Jesus did not condemn the act of changing the currency itself, but rather the fact that this was done inappropriately in the wrong place. Otherwise, to change the currency, a common activity old, was seen by Jesus himself as a good way to invest as we see in the next section.

Highly Recommended as a safe investment

While giving a parable (story with moral lesson) in Matthew 25 the New Testament, Jesus intimated to his disciples the importance of investing wisely what they have been entrusted. In history a rich man goes away for a long time, but left its monetary assets and possessions in the hands of his servants. With varying amounts under their custody and control, each officer was expected to increase which has been given. Upon his return, the rich man asks for accountability of all officers. In the exception of one, each employee has increased by 100 per cent of the property left to them. The lazy servant, however, did not gain not the return on investment (ROI) simply because it does not invest. He was afraid to risk losing money from the rich man, whom he thought would be no pity for him if he lost. Instead, he hid it. In criticizing him, the rich man said to be lazy servant, you ought to my money to the bankers, and on my return, I received my own with usury (interest). "With the money describing changes in a positive light through this parable, Jesus was certainly not condemning it. What a relief! However, as in any profession or vocation, we must strive to be diligent, honest, ethical and profitable. Do not be afraid to take risks. So, my friends negotiation, take heart and joy in your exchange activities.
