1 | The culture war | Luke 17:3 | Hank | 121014 | ||
Pete2: You use the term "culture war" in your posts. Precisely what does it mean? Does the Bible recognize the existence of a culture war, even though it may not use the same terminology? Can you cite biblical passages that relate to or account for this phenomenon? If Scripture provides any examples of culture wars, do you know where in the Bible one may find any of these? --Hank | ||||||
2 | The culture war | Luke 17:3 | Pete2 | 121062 | ||
The "Culture War" is used in todays political seen. There are 2 forces that are referred to. 1. The moral-christian force and the moral altering, anti christian force. There is an enormous force going on to remove morality as we know it. Unfortunately, those who are doing it, invent morality as they go. They go by what feels right. Anything thing they can rationalize is ok. In other words, they want the limits on behavior. That is what morality is... limits on behavior. All people are born uncivilized. It is up to their parents to civilize them. That process is teaching and accepting morality. As soon as that is accomplished, they are civilized. This process allows people to co-exist because they are operating by the same rules. If this morality is removed, the civilization is destroyed. It slips into anarchy. This happens often in uncivilized, third world contries. It has not happened here till now because this country used to have a strong moral backbone. They do no longer. The moral of this country now is asleep at the wheel. They feel that the country will do just fine. Rowe vs Wade, where abortion was made legal by the Supreme Court 40 years ago is proof that anything can be accomplished the "counter force". I know of no religion that is "pro choice". Even though the Catholic Church is staunchly against any for of abortion, the have known members like Ted Kinnedy, Tom Harkin and John Carrey who have all voted for third trimester abortion which is where the baby is capable of life without the mothers assistance. This is merely an example. That is all it is. Given time, I could mention a thousand other examples. In schools, any anti-christian group is allowed although no christian groups are. In schools, the teachers and administration are so confused on right and wrong, that the little thug kids are running the school. The schools are powerless. Now a days, it is common to have policemen in schools. 40 years ago, I did not know of a school in the nation that had a policemen in the school. Police keep wrong doers at bay. Ironically, in order to do that, they have to determine right from wrong. Since our culture has lost its standard, that is "fuzzy". As each generation gets more and more confused about right and wrong, BIG problems will occur like Columbine (sp), the school where the kids went in shooting. Those kids thought that what they were doing was okay. If they did not think it was ok, they would not have done it. Trust me, they had it rationalized. My guess that they had parents that did not want to "impose" their morality. Their morality was probably flawed anyway. Ted Kinnedy uses the word morality in every single speech, but he never sites his source. The Catholic Church, if they had any conviction at all, would have ex-communicated him long ago for immorality. Not a single occurance, not a hand full, but an ongoing quest to destroy morality as we know it. This is the culture war Pete2 |
