First Student seeks board approval to acquire Autumn Transportation and Ambassador Wheelchair Services
Moral issue
Corporate acquisition of transportation companies
Biblical principle
Old Testament
“That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, and in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters. Go, ye swift angels, to a nation rent and torn in pieces: to a terrible people, after which there is no other: to a nation expecting and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled.”
The verse describes a prophetic judgment on a nation and does not address corporate acquisition.
“Thou shalt serve thy enemy, whom the Lord will send upon thee, in hunger, and thirst, and nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put an iron yoke upon thy neck, till he consume thee.”
This passage speaks of punishment and oppression, not of business transactions.
New Testament
No passages cited.
