Is stock trading usury? Is it a sin?

Stock trading is not usury.


e6f94c No.547726

Only if you're gaming the system with insider knowledge or something. Otherwise, it's just a modern form of investing your money in business.

Speaking of usury, why isn't a sin to put your money in a bank? You are technically lending money for interest even though it is almost nothing. You are also enabling others to sin in usury.

Use credit unions, not banks.

>Usury is lending money for profitable interest. The term “usury” often specifically refers to the interest itself – interest charged on a mutuum (personally guaranteed by the borrower) loan.

I should think compensation for the time value of money and credit risk acceptable, but the use of debt to entrap others (payday lending eg) unacceptable.

Does this mean using a credit card is a sin?

>tfw my country's currency is deflating

Literally just by having money I'm committing usury.


3c8d23 No.548417

Not all usury is sinful.

>compensation for the time value of money and credit risk

This could be a fee, rather than using usury.

>>548413

No. But owning a credit card company would be.

On that note, would own stock in a credit card company be sinful? I'd say no, unless you bought in on the IPO or collect dividends from the stock.

Wouldn't I be an accomplice to sin by allowing them to commit usury for my benefit?

I'm not sure, to be honest. I wouldn't exactly say it is for your benefit, though.

Stock trading isn't usury. It is voluntarily giving up the stewardship of money God has given you to godless financiers.

>Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

That's what Christ says is better than burying it in a hole. Where does stocks rate compared to that? Well, usury is sin so - slightly better? I dunno, but using your money to do God's work is why he gave it to you, not so you could dump it in an account.

We'll be held responsible for what our money does, whether we bury it, use it, or whether the military-industrial company in our diversified portfolio uses it to kill children in another country.

>>548417

LOL. Christ says when we make a loan to forgive not only the interest but the principal. If interest is offered up willing, sure, but our you ready to forgive all debts as required if need be?

You're not supposed to add to the law, anon.

It's not usury at all, the interest rate is -supposed- to balance loss from inflation over the years.
