Yes! Also, "An unjust balance the Lord abhors."

You would love how the WLC applies the requirements and the prohibitions of the 8th commandment ("Thou shalt not steal"):

Thanks for the link!

Also, reflecting on the symbolism of a "thousand years" as a "full" human life (echoes of those in early genesis who lived almost a thousand years)

141 and 142 seem in contradiction WRT to bitcoin :

"Engrossing" bitcoin to enhance the price doesn't harm anyone and even

"further[s] the wealth and outward estate of others, as well as our own"

That refers to withholding supply of a good to *artificially* increase price (think de Beers and diamonds), rather than letting the market dictate. That would be a form of fraud. But bitcoin as money is something that we save, not a product we make and sell as some sort of monopolist. Make sense?

I agree that bitcoin is money but most of the world and its regulators do not

I wonder how the church will define bitcoin...

Not sure how/why the sacrifices described in Ezekiel 45 are NOT superseded by Christ's sacrifice once for all though..
