Love and insurance

I know it is sales talk, but I heard a commercial that anyone who says that they love someone is lying if they do not have life insurance. Is this true? If so, how much insurance must one have to be honest in saying that they love someone?

So if you're too broke to buy life insurance does that mean that you are incapable of loving anyone?

If you believe the promises of the Bible, you have no reason to buy insurance.

Enough to keep them out of trouble if something happens to the insured?

Other Christians should help my loved ones if I die suddenly, but will they? I'm not confident about that because of the way people are these days

Can you define trouble? Part of the problem is what is considered trouble. Many these days see having food, clothing, shelter and even a big screen TV is trouble. That said, I agree with you and McCulloch that the Scriptures say that caring for widows and orphans is the responsibility of the community. If everyone in the community set aside 10% of their income for that purpose, there would probably be little need for personal insurance.

Right. Actually in my case, my loved one who is the beneficiary on my life insurance, is unable to work for herself and has a lot of health problems.

That's true. And even more importantly, would be the non-financial assistance that others can (should) provide.

You are not confident that God will supply the needs of the faithful? Or is it that you are not confident that your loved ones will be faithful?

Neither. God will ensure that the basic needs are taken care of: food, drink, clothing. But he has to work through stubborn free willed people, so not much else may be easily provided as far as comforts go.
