Bible Question: How can any 'modern' Christian justify the Leviticus 20:13. Those who preach the 'word of the lord' should realise how offensive and archaic such a statement is. Don't be fooled by religion - it is merely a way of controlling the masses and preventing creative, independent thought. |
Bible Answer: If the Bible says, I believe it, and that settles it. There is no such thing as a "modern" Christian--God clearly tells us: He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Therefore, we cannot revise or modernize His word to fit the lifestyle we desire. God has not and will not change his views and commandments to go along with the ways of the world we are so sadly faced with today. Be advised, Leviticus IS the "word of the Lord" as are all the other books of the Bible. Please do not be mislead about religion--it is NOT merely a way of controlling independent thought. God allows us to choose and live our lives as we so choose. BUT, be prepared to face the wrath of God for a lifestyle not in accordance with His will. For those who preach the "word of the Lord" please continue to do so by letting the ONE and ONLY Book given to us by God almighty, be your only source of information, and teach strictly in accordance therewith. If the Bible says, I believe it, and that settles it. Thank you. JC |
