Can you cite the Scriptures or not?My brethren, seek God alone today, deny your own understanding of the Bible, and I trust you will understand the Bible as you never have. The Holy Spirit will see to it.
May you yield to God and not the Bible. Then the Bible will be truly useful to you my friend!
is the bible pro exploitation and oppression or against it?

Understand this. It's not rocket science.
"He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day."-John 12:48
Your words mean nothing.
Of course the Bible is against exploitation. But a man giving another man a job that allows him to feed and shelter himself isn't exploitation. Work is inherently good. When a company chooses to lie to their employees and push them to live on less and less then you get into exploitation. But your problem Ricky is you think the very act of working for someone else is exploitation. You think not being provided high.pay with limited time working for it is exploitation. You want others to risk their capital, build up the business working long hours, and when they've grown enough to need help you want them to hire you with an equal voice in how everything is run. You want the rewards of hard work and responsibility without the hard work and responsibility. Doesn't work and never will.

Again, what you consider unfair is ludicrous. Get to work slacker.
ups is unfair.
long hours. you have no say in the decisions which affect you proportionately. packages are too heavy. no idea how rich the owners are. no air con. poor treatment by managers.
when we talk about democracy which is the opposite of oppression which the bible uses, who should have a say over the temperature in my house? maybe just me since im affected by it.
if im blasting a radio at work, who should have a say over how loud it can be? maybe any worker affected by the sound.

I'm not saying anything except you aren't the arbiter of truth and that you aren't going to convince any believer to listen to your biblical advice
i just quote my ministers and quote hte verses and let it speak for itself
its kinda common sense its about love and not hate.

there is no definition in the bible. You attribute one because it fits your political positions.

Your motives are not based in the search of biblical truth following Christ's will. It's your own selfish desires. You only care about "love over hate" if it fits your politically desired result. If your ministers were worth their weight they would be trying to bring your heart to Christ first and foremost
so you have no idea what the bible means when it says exploiting workers?
i think it means unfair treatment.
my politically desired result is love and parts of the bible coincide with it and are worth referring to.

if your desired result was love it wouldn't be conditional as to what someone's politics is
sometimes politics is not about love
some people will defend exploitation because they wrongly believe theres no better system.

I know what the bible teaches in such matters. Your hate of capitalism doesn't make it any more exploitive of any other form a government allows.
