[Tony Trick-Pony]

It's a very simple solution...

I admit I didn't watch the video, but I see two possible solutions:
1. The students pay off their debt
2. Any Educational Institutions that are owed money write the debts off their books.

In no circumstances should the government pay off the debts and thereby shift the load to the taxpayers.

As a religious man, you have a problem helping people to get an education?

No, if you choose to help someone get an education, then do it. If I choose to use my hard-earned money otherwise, then it should be my choice, not yours. Sounds reasonable to me, what do you think?

Of course you have a choice. That's not the argument. How about your duty?

Galatians 6:2 "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."


In this case, you wouldn't be asked to do anything differently than you already do, right? Just to pay your taxes, which I assume you already do...? So what is the issue?


Here's some more good ones, just in case you forgot your bible verses.


Matthew 5:42
"Give to those who ask, and don’t refuse those who wish to borrow from you."

Romans 12:13
"Contribute to the needs of God’s people, and welcome strangers into your home.

Matthew 5:16
"In the same way, let your light shine before people, so they can see the good things you do and praise your Father who is in heaven."

Matthew 25:44-45
"Then they will reply, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn’t do anything to help you?' Then he will answer, 'I assure you that when you haven't done it for one of the least of these, you haven't done it for me.'"

Deuteronomy 15:11
"Poor persons will never disappear from the earth. That’s why I’m giving you this command: you must open your hand generously to your fellow Israelites, to the needy among you, and to the poor who live with you in your land."

Leviticus 25:35
“If one of your fellow Israelites faces financial difficulty and is in a shaky situation with you, you must assist them as you would an immigrant or foreign guest so that they can survive among you.”

Mark 10:21
"Jesus looked at him carefully and loved him. He said, 'You are lacking one thing. Go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.'"

What about all the rich people who took out COVID loans and had them forgiven? Why was that allowed?

No, if you choose to help someone get an education, then do it. If I choose to use my hard-earned money otherwise, then it should be my choice, not yours. Sounds reasonable to me, what do you think?

Sadly we can't pick and choose where our tax money goes. There are FAR worse uses of tax money than funding education for kids. Far worse.

Galatians 6:2 "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." So you think this applies to paying off someone's student debt. How about you paying my mortgage? Bad idea right because I'm the one who took out the mortgage not you. Same principle applies for student debt as well. Obviously, the proper application is a spiritual one and deals with how Christians give support to one another.

]Matthew 5:42[/B]
"Give to those who ask, and don’t refuse those who wish to borrow from you." You took the quote out of context. This scripture speaks to how a Christians should deal with his enemies. (Matthew 5:38-42) . . .“You heard that it was said: ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’ 39 However, I say to you: Do not resist the one who is wicked, but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other also to him. 40 And if a person wants to take you to court and get possession of your inner garment, let him also have your outer garment; 41 and if someone in authority compels you into service for a mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one asking you, and do not turn away from one who wants to borrow from you. . .
Romans 12:13
"Contribute to the needs of God’s people, and welcome strangers into your home. You failed to note that the scripture is telling Christians how to treat fellow Christians. It would be an intentional misapplication of this Bible verse to suggest Christians have responsibility to pay some worldly person's student debt.

Matthew 25:44-45
"Then they will reply, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and didn’t do anything to help you?' Then he will answer, 'I assure you that when you haven't done it for one of the least of these, you haven't done it for me.'" Let's consider the entire context of this parable: (Matthew 25:34-46) . . .“Then the King will say to those on his right: ‘Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world. 35 For I became hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you received me hospitably; 36 naked and you clothed me. I fell sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you visited me.’ 37 Then the righteous ones will answer him with the words: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and receive you hospitably, or naked and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 In reply the King will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left: ‘Go away from me, you who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels. 42 For I became hungry, but you gave me nothing to eat; and I was thirsty, but you gave me nothing to drink. 43 I was a stranger, but you did not receive me hospitably; naked, but you did not clothe me; sick and in prison, but you did not look after me.’ 44 Then they too will answer with the words: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying: ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.’ 46 These will depart into everlasting cutting-off, but the righteous ones into everlasting life.”

Here's the proper understanding: A glance at the parable reveals three groups that we need to identify. In addition to the sheep and the goats, the Son of man adds the third group whose identity is pivotal to identifying the sheep and the goats. Jesus calls this third group his spiritual brothers. (Matthew 25:40, 45) They must be true worshipers, for Jesus said: “Whoever does the will of my Father . . . , the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.” (Matthew 12:50; John 20:17) More to the point, Paul wrote of Christians who are part of “Abraham’s seed” and who are sons of God. He called these Jesus’ “brothers” and “partakers of the heavenly calling.”—Hebrews 2:9–3:1; Galatians 3:26, 29.

⁶ Why did Jesus mention “the least” of his brothers? Those words echo what the apostles heard him say earlier. When contrasting John the Baptist, who died before Jesus and therefore had an earthly hope, with those attaining to heavenly life, Jesus said: “There has not been raised up a greater than John the Baptist; but a person that is a lesser one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he is.” (Matthew 11:11) Some going to heaven may have been prominent in the congregation, like the apostles, and others less so, but they are all Jesus’ spiritual brothers. (Luke 16:10; 1 Corinthians 15:9; Ephesians 3:8; Hebrews 8:11) Thus, even if some seemed insignificant on earth, they were his brothers and should have been treated accordingly.

So, the short answer is Jesus was saying that how one treated his true disciples is the basis of the judgement mankind will receive. Sorry to say old fellow, but you seem to fall into the category of one whose judgement will not be good.

The rest of the scriptures you dug up and misapplied to try and prove your argument are all out of context as well. They all refer to how God's worshippers treat one another on an individual basis. What you are doing is misusing God's word, and I must draw this to your attention, it makes you God's resister (Satan means resister).
