Bible Note: Hi there keliy, Thank you for your nice response. Regarding our faulty wisdom, I don't for a second see it as a problem as I believe God knew that when He created us. The fact is there is no one born of this earth who has ever had or will ever have perfect wisdom. However we do all have basic senses of morality that tell us it is better to be happy than sad, it is better to be healthy than needlessly afflicted, it is better to be prosperous than poor, it is better to be good than bad and it is better to live and let live than to kill. God created all of us, red, yellow, black, brown and white. We are all equal in God's sight. Whether you are talking about a northern culture, or a southern culture, a western culture or an eastern culture, human life is valuable and precious. Weak or strong, intelligent or challenged, ancient or modern, gender or creed, normal or disabled, the human being is a child of God. Your argument of time and culture as a reason God allowed rogue family members to be killed goes against God's nature. How can you not see this? As we all know we no longer obey God's Dt 13:10 command to kill a family member. Everyone knows it is wrong. However, members of this forum are telling me that no, some of us who are Gentiles are not bound under the civil laws of Moses, instead we are all obligated under the moral law of God. Thoroughly confused, Pete |
