God wants to take care of the poor who cannot live on their own through the Year of Jubilee. He specifically says that people should not lend money to each other at interest or use it for any benefit.
It is easy to break relationships through money transactions or business transactions in churches or house churches. Because the human mind is fundamentally selfish, it tries to use its condition for profit without even realizing it.
If someone needs help, you should only help as much as you can give and not make money deals. Also, unless you have a good intention of helping others knowing that you’ll be at a loss, you should make not form relationships for business purposes or profit.
Passage to read: Leviticus 25:23-38
35 “ ‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you.
36 Do not take interest or any profit from them, but fear your God, so that they may continue to live among you.
37 You must not lend them money at interest or sell them food at a profit.
38 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
