God's Law (7) - Economic Issues

With respect to economic issues, God’s law prohibits theft and the use of force against other people. Wages should be paid promptly and false scales should not be used to cheat people. God’s people should make interest free loans to those who are poor, but these are voluntary. However, there is nothing in God’s law that says that judges or politicians should set wage rates, or the price of anything else. There is nothing in God's law that forces businesses to become charities.

Therefore, minimum wage rate laws cannot be justified from God’s law. Anti-trust laws cannot be justfied from God's law. In my view, these are just another humanistic attempt to more than law can do.
