I can't argue that.Depends what part of the bible one follows and what their interpretation of the same is.
I can't argue that.
If they followed It the way scientists here interpret It, we would:
- be burning witches
- marching off on crusades
- be flat earthers
- be geocentric
- be trying to cure diseases with avian blood
- be miracle deniers
I strongly disagree.Yea well, I don't think there are a lot of scientists out there attempting to interpret the bible,
Whatever that means.... other than reading the words.
I said "scientists" -- I didn't say "Christians."I guess the bottom line AV is this:
Are you allowed to adhere to your own interpretation of the bible?
If so, I don't know what your problem is, since many Christian's themselves have different interpretations than you.
I can't argue that.

And I don't believe we would need laws to protect a society if everyone followed the Bible correctly.*
Just as (I assume) you believe we would need laws to protect a society if everyone followed the Bible correctly.**
* Using what I think is the correct interpretation

Yes.You mean, doing the things that Christians did in the past because the Bible told them so...
All the law is wrapped up into two rules:Except the Bible has laws in it -- if people followed it, they would need laws after all.
OK, so heres the thing...no one can follow the law written in Scripture..the commandments. So no one can pass laws to make them. There will be no man made utopia or state that is like heaven.You mean, doing the things that Christians did in the past because the Bible told them so...
Yes.
Evidently scientists here believe they did it with respect to the Bible, rather than what I believe, which is: in spite of the Bible.
All the law is wrapped up into two rules:
The Royal Law & the Shema.
So yes, you're correct.
The trick is getting scientists to agree; and most wouldn't on principle.

I would think that it is advisable for wicked nations to at least try to allign their laws to the great standard of God's word. However I won't hold my breath.
Those nations that did try like ancient Israel, seemed to fail in a big way.
Look at the US today, a country that apparently made some effort in that direction also...the Democratic platform is the Antithesis (as John Macatrhur pointed pointed out some time ago) of Romans 1.
Of curse not -- as long as we're in this world, free will gets in the way.
Well, they're certainly not going to try something that you've already admitted is impossible -- it's a rigged game from the start, designed to engender helplessness and dependency.
That was the point. Glad you caught it.Including Israel itself.
And you think cheapening God's message by wielding it (clumsily) as a political tool is an improvement?
Murder is usually considered as a unlawful killing so it is a legal term, not a moral one. If a killing is not unlawful then it is not murder.
I have seen several times attempts to find a universal law, something that all societies or cultures would follow.
So far this search has been unsuccessful. No behavior could be found that was not approved of or at least not condemned by some culture somewhere at some time.
Interesting subject,

Vendetta? Paranoid much? I am pointing out that you do not read what you respond ...All that I am asking is that you read before responding.

All the above are man made interpretations of what they think religion should be like. The best way to follow the bible is to follow the teachings of Jesus. He is the fulfillment of the old testament and the completion of the law. There is nothing more to add or take away. If we use this as our guideline then there will be no problems and there will be harmony and peace throughout the world. Jesus is the way the truth and the life.I can't argue that.
If they followed It the way scientists here interpret It, we would:
- be burning witches
- marching off on crusades
- be flat earthers
- be geocentric
- be trying to cure diseases with avian blood
- be miracle deniers
Why is it wrong to kill?
What law, if not the Bible....tells you that it is wrong?
Okay with you if God puts it in writing that murder is wrong?If you need a book to tell you murder is wrong, then I sure am glad you managed to find it so you didn't go on a killing rampage.
