It does seem to be prohibited in the Old Testament, New Testament, and the koran.

The Catholic Church certainly still thinks its a sin. So it is for several hundred million people.

That many of the ideas of desert dwellers 2000 years ago, have no bearing on modern society.

I think it'd be a great way for the Catholic Church to gain some support from the occupier idiots.

Deuteronomy 23:19-20: "Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of anything that is lent upon usury. Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thy hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it."

So it's cool to charge interest to non-Christians of you are Christian, non-Jews if you are Jewish?
Sounds complicated and it doesn't seem like most Christians abide by this.

Christians only follow the bible when it's to their benefit. Most religions reject capitalism as well.
Yeah, I said it.

That was really more of a national law for Israel in how they were to treat one another. However, I'd guess that Jesus would want us to be obedient to the spirit of the command by treating our neighbors well.

Revisionist history alert!
Usury was considered illegal for Christians to practice in Europe until around the Industrial Revolution.
Hence Jews handled loans and money in Europe and Russia throughout the middle ages and of course the Rothchilds.

The whole reason I asked was because of this. I was reading a history of finance and it discusses how ethnic and religious minorities and beilefs affected finance.

It's also become illegal in many states with these payday loan places cranked pur 150% interests. But it's also keeps very stupid people broke which is a good thing so 2 wrongs make a right in this case.

What??? I simply demonstrated what Israel was taught from the OT. Whether they have been faithful to it the last 3,400 years I don't know. Thanks for your small contribution.

If you don't mind, could you explain why it doesnt apply to Christians?

I apologize, I generally don't make such broad judgements and I know that Good Christians are the majority. That was low, I know many Christians and they are great people.
Yeah, I said it.

The law was given to a national Israel about 3,400 years ago as a rule to live by in Israel. That command was part of a plethora of commands given to Gods people in order to show them how to live in a holy manner. I'd say that command specifically was given to ensure that no one in Israel took advantage of their brother Israelite. Since Christians aren't a part of national Israel the command isn't technically a command for us. However, I would argue the spirit behind the command should be one that Christians should take seriously in how we live and treat others.
