Then, they get into ridiculous nit-picky 'principles,' such as setting aside money before one makes a long distance phone call and calling up the phone company to make sure one knows what the charges amount to. I personally find such a posture to be unbiblical in its very focus, as well as the time given to the topic. I would add further that financing a home has a long tradition of being an investment rather than a debt per se. To be sure, I do see problems with a church going into debt. But each case needs to be decided on its own.
Some churches are quite stable and can reasonably do it.
