Would you support writing a new U.S. Constitution based on the Bible?

I'm not interested in fish stories.

noone ever is, till the whale is right in front of them. Then, its too late.

 

[Arcangl86]

you need to read about jonah and how he helped Nineveh reach repentance, which if they hadn’t, God would have destroyed them. As far as im concerned, Unless we change our ways, and repent, God will destroy us.

Why would God want to destroy us now and not in the past, say when we treated certain people worst then animals because of the color of their skin?

 

[TLK Valentine]

no. The only reason i would want to change the constitution is to have a chance at God not being angry with us, and perhaps, even have a restoration as Nineveh did.

"Us"?

I understand (although I don't believe) why you'd think God is cheesed off at me, but are you suggesting that God is somehow upset with you, just because I'm not a believer?

If so, then in the words of Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man (2002): "I missed the part where that's my problem."

when i say us, i mean us as a country. You are still responsible for your own disbelief.

trading one sin, for another isnt repentance. You ever wonder why the US is in such bad shape now?? Its only going to get worse. America cant be saved at this point.

And "as a country," you mean believers and nonbelievers alike. Well, if the faithful are going to be punished in any way, shape, or form for the actions of the heathens....

Well, pop quiz: Guess whose problem that isn't?

You are still responsible for your own disbelief.

And if I believed you, I'd be a believer, and this discussion would be pointless,
or I don't believe you, and your words have no effect, and this discussion is equally pointless.

Don't you see? You have only one thing to threaten me with: Hell. But according to you, I'm already going there for being an unbeliever.

What do I have left to lose?

Note that I'm referring to the Christian Bible in this instance.

Simple question for Americans on this forum: if given the option, would you support overturning the existing U.S. Constitution and writing a new one on the based on the Christian Bible?

I've divided the answers into Christians and non-Christians, and support versus non-support.

If you're not a U.S. citizen, you can select the last option.

No I think the one we have that is already Bible based is sufficient the way it is.

 

[BNR32FAN]

It would be Taliban II. Jesus said His kingdom is not of this world. Look at all the bloodshed caused by the institutional Churches leading up to and during the Reformation. Yikes....

What institutional churches are you referring to?

 

[BNR32FAN]

But you are Canadian.

God never forced anyone to believe. He allows those who choose to reject Him to do as they please. In fact Jesus spoke in parables so that those who didn’t want to listen wouldn’t understand.

The United States has been a legally secular nation for... (let me check here...) 233 years and your god is just getting around to punishing us now? You would think that the first nation with a legally secular constitution would have gathered more attention if it really mattered.

But why would God want to destroy us now, and not 100 years ago when things were a lot worst?
And the US is having some issues, but I'm not sure what you mean by "such bad shape."

things were nowhere near as bad 100 yrs ago as they are now. Right now, is the worst time in American history. And as each day goes on, it becomes worse. We are storing up wrath with each day. I could only wish things were as bad as they were 100 yrs ago. At this point, i think time is so short for when God to pour out His judgment on us, and it will be horrendous.

And yet, God says there is nothing new under the sun.

We are hardly storing up wrath and there is only one judgment and that is when we are at His throne after we die or when Jesus comes in the future.

A hundred years ago we had a massive pandemic, a devastating war, a crime wave triggered by the criminalization of a popular drug, and then a presidential cabinet that was selling off government resources on the cheap to gain large bribes. Sounds so much better than today...

"Horrendous," you say?
Worse than the Hell that unbelievers such as myself are already eternally condemned to? I think not.

 

[Paulos23]

no. The only reason i would want to change the constitution is to have a chance at God not being angry with us, and perhaps, even have a restoration as Nineveh did.

And what evidence do you have that changing the constitution would appease God?

Has anything appeased God?

(Tongue in cheek ) I guess it is about perspective.
