The Christian Case for Raising the Minimum Wage: 14 Do not take advantage of a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether that worker is a fellow Israelite or a foreigner residing in one of your towns. 15 Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poor and are counting on it. Otherwise they may cry to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty of sin. Deuteronomy 24: 14,15) Here it is straight from the word of God, Republicans who resist raising the minimum wage from its current poverty level our guilty of SIN according to Holy Scripture! Forgiveness could be granted of course by prayer, and voting to raise the minimum wage! The command is to not take advantage of a worker, and to pay them on time This was a command issued by God to the Israelite. Since Christians consider themselves grafted into the family of God thru Jesus Christ, the command applies to Christians as well, do not take advantage of your workers! It is a command from God! 18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer deserves his wages.” English Standard Version (ESV) (1Timothy 5:18)
