The most essential economic principle found in the Bible is found in four of the most ignored words of Scripture: thou shalt not steal. This is the foundation of the notion of private property. But what many Christians have forgotten is that private property is foundational to personal freedom. To own something is to be free to use it as you see fit, whenever you please. And, just to connect the dots here carefully, when something is stolen, you are no longer free to use it. #truth #grownostr #nostr #plebchain #zap

True.

However, it's not an issue of forgetting.

It's an issue of never understanding.

Lol. So true

This is also evidenced by God giving the land of Israel to Abraham and his descendants, distribution of the land among the 12 tribes, jubilee celebrations, etc.

This is true!

I was thinking the same thing. Property was so important in the Bible that in the year of jubilee, it was supposed to revert back to the owners, so each family could maintain what it needed to support itself.
