Understanding what the Bible says about things like people working (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, 2 Thessalonians 3:10), owning private property (Leviticus 20:24, Luke 11:21) and even being allowed to accumulate great wealth (Job 1:1-3, Matthew 27:57), I have always counted myself among those in favor of capitalism.
