Did you read the whole thread? Did you even read my post? The part where I said GROSS. Or the part where I said EXPENSES? :dahell:

I fix up and flip houses as side work. You talking to the wrong one

You were failing in the conversation and thus you had to turn to calling me a fakkit and making up personal insults about my life situation. You were wrong. If your worldview is such that it leads you to make assumptions which are that incredibly wrong, then double-down and claim I'm lying when I'm not, what does that say about your worldview?

What evidence do you have that I'm not doing well in my life, besides the fact that I disagree with your openly selfish attitude?




You and 87 both out here calling people who disagree with you fakkits and you wonder why people don't take you seriously on a message board.

You negged with a false statement, its nothing to disagree about, you're not interested in truth you just have this fake aura of superiority like the rest of coli snobs and think you know about shyt you don't understand

you don't know where the property is located, or even how to calculate the appraised value of a commercial property, never seen the rent roll for the 32 units, but assume the owner is a millionaire because in your woe is me world you have to be scrouge mcduck to own a 32 unit apartment building

fukk you nikka

For one, you didn’t specify the book, chapter or verses.

Two, this passage is more relevant to developers who buy land/homes & will allow them to remain empty for years on end, just because their idea of rent has grossly surpassed what the market can bare. This does not sound like your independent landlord or even small group of investors.

Thirdly, God doesn’t have an issue with men being rich at all. He has a problem with laziness & theft...but not wealth. If He did, how can one explain his love for King David & Job?
1. Back in the day no one ever used to give chapter and verse. That shyt wasn't even invented until way later. Those who know know. But if you really want, check out Leviticus 25:10-23, Isaiah 5:8-10, and Micah 2. Then look at what Jesus's crew did in Acts 2 and Acts 4, and read some of the early Church commentary on this shyt like what St. Basil the Great wrote out when his people were facing disastrous times (his homily "In Times of Famine and Drought" is the most relevant but I only have the hardcopy right now, don't see the full text online). Here's some similar sentiments though: St. Basil’s Sermon to the Rich

2. Those verses are without any doubt a response to the edict in Leviticus 25, which insisted that God owns the land, not man, and that every family has a right to its own place in that land.

3. God has no problem with those who are successful with what they have, such that they use their success for the benefit of others. What God has a problem with is those who take advantage of their success to then gain more at the expense of those who have less. That's why all debts were cancelled every 7 years. That's why you're not supposed to accumulate property at the expense of your countryman's property ownership. That's why exploiting workers, exploiting the poor, and earning blood money is explicitly outlawed. That's why the Bible is so firmly against charging interest to the poor or to fellow believers - you're not supposed to make money by exploiting your brothers.

Jesus made clear, over and over, that the rich of his day were in flagrant violation of these principles, that they were taking advantage of their fellows, and that to follow him they had to divest themselves of their wealth. Do you think the rich have become more ethical and moral today? Do you think people are unexploited?

As a Christian who’s done his fair share of sin and iniquity in the world, everyone is worthy of forgiveness and starting anew. Allow Jesus to restore us. Psalms 23:3 and for the brehs and brehettes with their noses in the air read John 8:7. Really read John 8:1-7.

Once she gave her life to the Lord, she is no longer who y’all choose to view her as. I’m happy for them if the union is without malice or sorely for consummation.

I disagree with your interpretation of scripture entirely. For one, Leviticus is the book of law, which was fulfilled by Jesus crucifixion. But even with holding to said law (or rather obey His commands, which I have no problem with), the verses still describe price gouging and not a simple business transaction as described in this Reddit post. And if you are holding this scripture to the exact letter, are you observing the Sabbath every seventh year (aka, year of rest)? I find absolutely nothing wrong with that, btw, but one must have some level of financial freedom to adhere to this Leviticus scripture. The question is, if you're so against any form of capitalism, how did you arrive to such financial freedom?

Isaiah 5:8-10 again speaks to price gouging to the tune of pricing out your neighbors so much so that no one can afford property. There's a empty luxury apartment building across from the Staples Center in LA. It's less than 50% occupied b/c residents can't keep up with the COL. That extreme level of price gouging and the stubbornness to allow the building to remain empty is what this scripture speaks to...not an individual landlord who is worried about missing one month of rent.

And Micah is very clear that it speaks of evil wealthy men who think of evil plans...and not just men who are simply wealthy. Again, it is not irrational for a landlord to expect monthly rental payments. Truth be told, we don't even know how this landlord would have reacted to a small percentage of tenants inquiring about rent installments b/c said landlord wasn't given a change. Allegedly, all of the tenants banded together & determined that the landlord should pay for their housing, despite contracts, despite enduring the same Coronavirus pandemic, despite not knowing the profit margins or reserves, etc., etc. There are thieves in this scenario & this time, it's not the landlord.

All of my statements are under the assumption that this is not a slumlord.

I didn’t even make that post, I just quoted it. But the books and verses start at Micah 2:1 and Isaiah 5:8. Rationalize who it talks about with your carnal mind and make excuses all you want, but I’m not who or what you’re going to have to explain your logic to.

To address your third point, YAH very much does have a problem with rich people and makes it very clear in many instances. I’ll start with Mark 10:17-25 which splits no hairs about the rich.

Mark 10:23-25
23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!” 24This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God. 25In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”

James 1:11
For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

James 5:1
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.

Proverbs 28:22
A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty will come upon him.

Psalm 62:10

Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.


Here are some more to dispel the lie that HE doesn’t have a problem with the rich.
Matthew 6:19-24, Matthew 6:31-34, Luke 1:50-55, James 5:1-6, Luke 16:19-31, Hebrews 13:5, 1 Timothy 6:6-10, 1 Timothy 6:17-19, Mark 12:41-44, Proverbs 19:17, Luke 6:24-26, Proverbs 23:4-5, Ecclesiastes 5:10, and I can do this al day.

King David distributed his wealth accordingly so as to leave no one in need of anything like in Luke 3:11 which says
Luke 3:11

And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”


He took care of his people as he should have with those riches which is a different kind of “rich” that surpasses material wealth. Job provided for those he could as well, apples to oranges with your worldly version of rich.

HE loves the righteous rich which are pretty much non-existent. If you have a home you live in and another you rent for more than it costs you monthly in expenses then it’s crooked riches you’re receiving or what’s known as extortion. You have to let people eat from your plate if you’re up. I know it’s hard to understand with a worldly mind, but does that explain it well enough for you?

As a landlord. I can say these are the breaks. I do some of the work in apts myself but I am also fair to the people who live under my roofs. These are unprecedented time. I waived late fees until July thus far with no help of the goverment, and i can help beyond that as long as I even out by Sept.

Only thing you’ll do is take what the local laws of the land gives you, or you’ll be locked up and the people who you threaten will buy it.

if you can afford “overpriced” rent then you can afford to move...you’re the only coward here because this way of thinking relies on legal protections to help you. Landlord come bust your head and throw you out you ain’t doing shyt but running to the police...
