    Usury is also banned in Christianity

    Funny how that will literally never and by never I mean never be mentioned by modern ‘christians’

      “Money changers!!!” Jesus, literally flipping tables and frothing at the mouth with rage at the Temple over this type of thing.

      Modern Christians, “Let them be stunted and destroyed through debt.”

      Also bans Christmas trees. Jeremiah 10:1-4

      And bans growing more then one crop. Leviticus 19:9-28

      You will find lots of cope for the Christmas tree one. Hardly anyone knows the crop one, but it actually makes sense if you understand how seed saving works and how devastating it can be for a village to have just one growing season wasted on unviable seed.

    Leviticus 25:23

    The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me.
