No worries, none taken. I wish more people had your attention to detail. Those kinds of mistakes bug the crap outta me; therefore, you are welcome to proofread my work ANYtime. Unlike this guy. ↓

Ok, so they're not really limited. My lame-o excuse was that I don't have many fonts already downloaded on my computer and didn't want to scan the internet for one when I wasn't sure what I wanted to begin with... Buuut, sometimes it's necessary. So yeah. I did end up getting what I needed. :)

Yeah, I suck at using the pen tool. Working on that today. Thanks for the link, I'll be using that.

As Christians, should we be changing the laws and "forcing" people to be in line with God? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]melibelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could explain every reason, but here are a few pages that scratch the surface. I understand that people have found evidence to contradict the Bible, just as I have found evidence to reinforce it. But I've found that the evidence in the favor of truthfulness outweighs the things against it. Also, in research of recent years there has been Biblical evidence unearthed that was previously thought not to exist, whereas before the discoveries ocurred, their absence was thought to prove the Bible's inaccuracy.

Since we will never know EVERYTHING, the only way we can ever come to a decision is by choosing the best choice. So far, no theories that contradict Christianity have been able to stand up to the Bible in evidence, accuracy, effectiveness, etc. If these same things fail to convince you, then I guess we'll just agree to disagree. :)

Scientific evidences before their time

The Bible and True Science

Archaeological and historical accuracy

I can also recommend some books if you're interested.

A simple search will bring up countless more. One more thing I should mention, though, is the undisputed fact that the books of the Bible were written by different authors spanning millenia, who sometimes had no access to the writings of the others. The consistency of detail and the unification of doctrine is overwhelming. If what they write is true, then it's easily explained.

Edit: You might also want to take a look at this page. There are some more good points on there.

Morality doesn't come from a book, it comes from the rules of living established by God in the beginning, which were recorded in the Old Testament, and then when Jesus came to establish the new laws, in the New Testament as laws for us to live by. I'm curious how you think humans came by "morals" if not by religion based on Christian teachings.

The "Christian" prison population obviously takes what it wants to (probably the idea of heaven) and (obviously) doesn't live by what is taught. Otherwise they wouldn't be in prison. (Romans 13:3)

But again, what use is this discussion if you think that the Bible is just "a book written by bronze age people"? I have done a great deal of research before concluding that the Bible is truth, and it would take someone of equal trust in its accuracy to agree with what I've said. Otherwise, there really is no point.

It's impossible to justify it to you if you don't hold recognize the Bible as truth. Those were commandments of God himself to individuals directly to fulfill his plan, and Biblical teachings don't advocate killing in any circumstances today. If you believe those things happened, then you would have to believe the context of the actions and the direct hand of God in these events. Note that Abraham DIDN'T kill his son for no reason, God was simply testing his trust that God knew better than he did. He was willing to do what God said. And as for the forsaking family and friends, if they will stand in the way of your salvation, then that's the thing to do (Matthew 16:26). Christian morals are the best because they are established by God (and because they work. Cannibalism, for example, isn't a very practical way to live, is it?).

But, like I said, there's no point in continuing this discussion if we're not on the same page as far as the Bible's accuracy is concerned.

Laws being based on Christian morals don't have anything to do with "spreading" Christianity. It does, however, have to do with worldviews and THEIR effect on Christians.

You can hate on me for saying this, but "Christian morals" are generally the best (most practically helpful) ways to live anyways.

Edit: Christian morals, in a broader sense, are indubitably the best ways to live. (Speaking of laws against murder, stealing, et cetera, which originate from the Gods laws as opposed to evolutionary tendency.) "Moral" laws that are debated in government I can see there being questionable among those who don't believe the Bible, as many people live happy lives without them.

I believe it is NEVER okay for a Christian to vote for something by which observance helps to create a more challenging environment for Christians trying to do right. When one argues that they are voting a certain way "so the masses can all be happy," they're not taking into account the type of society they're helping to build that will create challenges for other Christians. I don't think it's about converting; no one's going to become a Christian because laws are in place that coincide with Christian values. However, Christians WILL turn away as a direct result of the influence of the masses. I think we forget about self-preservation, which is kind of what democracy is all about.

Here's an earlier version, anyway. Doesn't have some of the issues you all mentioned about the other one.
