Filing Bankruptcy
Is
Not A Sin
This is from the "Ask Pat" link on the CBN
Homepage.
The Question Posed To Pat Was This:
Is it a sin to file... bankruptcy?
Pat Robertson:
First of all, you've got your life ahead of
you and you've got to get
yourself together....you can do it without
giving up your home and
everything else. There's no need in
beggaring yourself on these matters....However, all of this depends on your
earning capacity. In the Old Testament, they
had the Year of Jubilee where debts were
canceled...
There's nothing sinful about bankruptcy....
--------------------------------------------
True Story:
I had a client that put off filing
bankruptcy for 2 years because her minister
told her that filing bankruptcy is a sin.
So, for 2 years, at the expense of her
family, she struggled with the bills, her
family went without, and all she did was put
her family more at risk.
If you want to talk sin, it seems to me that
the bigger sin is to put the bill collectors
ahead of your family. Bankruptcy
doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. It
just means you’re stuck in an impossible
situation. God loves you...no
matter what.
