I didn't say that. I said the common ancestors of all were hunter-gatherers. In other words, Y-chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve were hunter-gatherers. The evidence for that includes that the number of years it's estimated to have taken to get to our current genetic diversity is many times greater than the oldest evidence of agriculture. I have very strong evidence that you're on the internet right now, so unless you have some sort of Christian V-chip installed you can Google it yourself. Anyway, through your selective responses, this has degenerated into a sort of intelligent design debate, and, no offense, but I'm really not interested in that.
You cite the evidence.
That's what profiting off land is ... basically lending Resources for a HUGE interest ... I mean what percentage of the actual value of their work do the workers get? I tiny perfentage ... it's the same as usury.
No, usury involves selling the use of money apart from its ownership, which is immoral since money is lost when it is used. Since a house or land can be used and yet remain in the possession of the person using it, it is licit to sell the use of such separate from the ownership. Note also that in the Israelite system, people were allowed to sell the use of their land while retaining the permanent ownership of it.
Restoration every Jubilee year IS redistribution ... it goes back to the base Level, i.e. what People started With, the land of their inheretance, meaning the Family farm that the use for themselves, also you had the 10% tax which was Distributed to the poor through the temple, as well as the gleaning and the making of the land common property every 7th year.
No, it's no different than renting the property out until the jubilee year.
Do you want the scripture citations? I haven't just made this up out of thin air.
Sure.
