Are Billionaires Biblical?

with Michael Easley
Some Christians purport that we should be practicing the Year of Jubilee as prescribed to Ancient Israel in Leviticus 25 and that, by doing so, there would be no billionaires. Is this true? If so, is it biblical?

Q: In light of Elon Musk’s twitter purchase, Shane Claiborne posted, “If people of faith practiced the biblical Jubilee, there would be no billionaires. Every generation was to forgive debts, free slaved, and redistribute property. (Leviticus 25) It was God’s Way of systematically dismantling inequality.” Is this for real?

 

Resources Mentioned:

1 Thessalonians 2:3, Leviticus 25, & Dr. Beisner’s short book Social Justice vs. Biblical Justice: How Good Intentions Undermine Justice and Poverty, which you can obtain at no additional cost when you make a 100% tax-deductible donation to the Cornwall Alliance and request it.
