Enduring Distinctions Between Republicans and Conservatives

“At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release. And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not exact it of his neighbor, his brother, because Yahweh’s release has been proclaimed. Of a foreigner you may exact it, but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand shall release. But there will be no poor among you; for Yahweh will bless you in the land that Yahweh your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess— if only you will strictly obey the voice of Yahweh your God, being careful to do all this commandment that I command you today.” “For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’” - Deuteronomy 15:1-6, 11   This Episode’s Links: (All timestamps offset by 24-seconds) 00:00 – Deuteronomy 15 04:00 – Thoughts on the Reading 33:55 - Dude got into a fender-bender in his Rivian.
