Your comments regarding bankruptcy are good. Staying out of debt, handling money and budget, materialism, buying on credit, keeping up with the Jones, and preparation for building your life are all issues which can lead to poor stewardship and financial ruin.

Scripture really doesn’t make an allowance for bankruptcy. You have given your word to repay what you borrow and God’s Word holds you to that. It is absolutely forgivable. When asking forgiveness from God and those you have wronged, a repentant heart is key. Part of that is a desire to make restitution and to restore relationships. The goal is to glorify God. That means when it is all said and done, regardless of final ‘score’ the creditor says, “I’m glad I was dealing with a man of God.”

While I cannot, should not, and will not argue with Scripture, is there any instance where it is OK, or at least forgivable?

Amen, Mark. I love that you tackle topics like this. Truth that needs to be said…and heeded.
