What part of my post is building a "Straw Russ"?
Your post doesn't reveal where you stand on this issue. Do you believe that we should enact laws that follow the Bible's moral laws? What about laws that follow the 10 commandments?
What difference does it make if I reveal my views? Can't you supply some for me? Or is Russ privileged? Russ stated that this country will not be blessed by God if we continue to make laws that don't follow Biblical Law: Similarly, if a nation obeys God, blessings also come upon the nation. This is why the United States has been so blessed; Because it has been obedient and lived according to Biblical law. (Most English common law comes from the Bible.)
This has changed in recent decades and now we are on the brink of economic collapse. Obedience to God brings a better quality of life, generally speaking. Was I making an untoward assumption that when Russ wrote about law that he meant his comments to be about law? And you've little room to talk on that head. You haven't presented your own views, best I can tell. If any of that stuff is yours, let's see you claim it. If not, what's it there for? I interpret it as an obvious trap: a set of ideas you'd like Russ to adopt so you can argue against it. But if it's really how you feel, do correct me. Not a trap. I disagree with Russ' conclusion concerning blessing of the U.S. by God. I consider it an inconsistency in his position. He believes that U.S. laws should line up more with Biblical Law. Does this include the First Amendment to the Constitution or not? What about you? Do you agree with the statements that Russ made in post #40834? Do you feel that I am misunderstanding his position concerning U.S. law? If you do agree with Russ' position about aligning U.S. law with Biblical law, what specific things, that are currently legal, do you believe should be made illegal?
A faith that connot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets. -- Arthur C. Clarke
