They could at any time default on the loan payments simply because God told them not to pay me back.

Not likely. God doesn't generally speak to us direct, and besides we are supposed to treat other people as we want to be treated (and most of us want to be paid back when we lend something).
Avoid lending to crazy people who hear voices (God's and otherwise), and your loans should be pretty secure.

Good point. The Rapture makes born again Christians a bad risk.Lets not loan them any more money and make them repay all loans now.

Not true, we are told to obey the laws of our country, and paying back a debt that we have contracted for is a law of our country.
We are also told not to indebt ourselves, but this seems a difficult one for us to stay away from. As much as I try, I still have a mortgage on my house, although, no more car payments.
There is much more to Christianity than you realize, when you meet a real one, you will be able to see it, not just hear it.

God never cheat. you give when you have extra above your normal basic need, and the duty of borrower to return your money when they have. then, you are one of the so many people that trying to make this world a place of better living. keep it up.

Give unto Cesar that which is Cesar's...give unto God that which is God's. Why confuse the concepts of material wealth with spiritual exercises?

uh not legally. and if you're christian you're not supposed to charge interest. it's why jews were money lenders. until the church became a bank the practice of charging interest to other christians was a sin.

I think you need to be careful who you loan your money too. If you have doubt don't do it.
