Explain The Jubilee 2000's Call For The Immediate Canceling Of HIPC
1. What is the biblical basis for the jubilee 2000’s call for the immediate canceling of the debts of all HIPCs?
The biblical basis for the jubilee 2000 call for immediate cancellation of all HIPC debts is located in Leviticus 25:14 and it states, you shall not oppress one another. Debit crisis seems to be applied disproportionately on the poorest in the developing counties and the basic principles of justice and righteousness prevent us from being that oppressor. There are principles in Leviticus and throughout the bible that teach us how to handle situations if a poor person must sell their possessions and when those possessions can be return to them as well as the need to take care of those less fortunate around those.
