Silly statement. God doesn't hate bill collectors. A Christian principle is one of lending and not expecting repayment--sure. But there's nothing wrong with collecting on a debt, and the coinciding principle is that we should pay our bills whenever possible, and refrain from incurring debt we know we can't repay.

To be mean to someone because they owe you money--obviously that isn't Christian. God still doesn't HATE people, even when they're mean.

It's not a silly statement it is truth. He hates many professions! Does he hate prostitutes? Yes! You are identified with what you do. Does God hate liars? Yes! Does he hate the person that can be changed? No! You cannot seperate the act and the person. That is how the law works. Also you points of....


"But there's nothing wrong with collecting on a debt, and the coinciding principle"

and

"is that we should pay our bills whenever possible, and refrain from incurring debt we know we can't repay."

Have nothing to do with the action of the other as each person cannot be the other. Your action as lender are actions of lending. Yes we should pay our debts and I have said that but my point is to the action of COLLECTING in the current knowledge of our own social structure. Bill collecting is a threat pretty much most of the time. The action of doing harm to another is against the very essence of Jesus words. If your expectancy is not being paid back then why would you act in a way contrary to that. Bill collections and third party debt collectors is clearly not in line with that. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That is your principle action and guide whethr the 2nd part of your statement above is followed by another. Again my point had nothing to do with the obligation of the debtor but THE LENDER!
