[QUOTE="Albion, post: 66143480, member: 93831"] I realize that you are reading it as approval, but it doesn't say that. Think it through. We often give advice ourselves to people in difficult situations and do not consider it approval of their misfortunes, etc. if we do so and/or do not include words to the effect of "Yeh. That's wrong! I condemn it absolutely, lest anyone get the wrong impression!" Consider, for instance, that Christ did not call for a revolution against Caesar, even though there was much more that was unjust about the Roman system than just slavery. When he said "give unto Caesar what which is Caesar's" you would be asking him why he "approved of" dictatorship and extortion masquerading as taxation, I assume. Having quite a bit more than a layman's knowledge of history myself, I consider that to be simplistic. But if it's your POV, fine. The question asked why Christians look to a God in this matter, and the answer is that they DO consider morals to be absolute in nature. If we are to stick to the topic, that's all that needs to be said. [/QUOTE]
