Morals

[Sac49]

I have heard it asked by many "what is wrong with society". In all the discussions no one ever gets the answer right! There is a loss of morals within society. Our morals are no longer based upon Biblical truths. Our morals have become based upon individualism. "What is right for one might not be right for another".

When we, as Christians think about it, it is our fault. We no longer stand up for Biblical truths. We are too afraid to "offend" anyone. We are too afraid to be labeled as bigots. Well if a bigot can be defined as "following Gods Word" then i am a bigot. We are too afraid to say "because the Bible says so"! We have become too afraid to stand up for God. We have become too afraid to be labeled "politically incorrect" because we want to fit in. We are not called by Jesus to "fit in". We are called to be different.

I am fully willing and have stated that i am politically incorrect but yet Biblically correct. I will tell anyone that i am politically incorrect but i sure as heck am Biblically correct.

So i say to all yinz, be Biblically correct because this is the only way a Christian is to live their life. Stand up For Gods Word for you do not want to hear "i do not know you".

So do you think passing a law that says thou shalt not steal is going to keep people from stealing?

But some don't consider taking something that doesn't belong to them as stealing, but instead justify it using their own 'moral' rationalization to excuse their obtaining possession of something that belongs to someone else.

If someone borrowed money or something from someone and never repay or return it, then would you consider that they had stole it? Even if they never had the intentions of repaying or returning it? Would you consider that stealing?

Even if they never had the intentions of repaying or returning it? Would you consider that stealing?

Taking something that isn't yours, with no intentions of ever returning it, is the vary definition of stealing. Borrowing something with no intentions of giving it back is not only pure theft, but its also deceitfulness.. jmo

I say "the Bible says..." all the time. I believe in sugar-coating, but I don't think it makes a difference- people will react the same way to truth whether it's coated or not, in my experience. But I am a messenger who obeys her Master no matter how people react to it. My mission comes before such things as 'being politically correct', or 'not stepping on toes'. We all need God's Word to save us from an eternity in hell. And even if it feels uncomfortable to hear, it's worth the attempt to save someone's life. Parents who love their children give them shots, not to hurt them, but to save them, because they love them. If you tell someone only what they want to hear, that's not love.

I agree with your opinion.
This isn't a gotcha question, but a serious question on how can one justify the events recorded regarding the Exodus and the borrowing?

19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
Ex 3:20-22

35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: 36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
Ex 12:35-36

If I had a £ for each time I've been called a bigot i wouldn't have to work anymore because in these days anything goes just so long as it has nothing to do with the Bible. To question the masses is to be a bigot in their eyes. Christianity is the last minority it is acceptable to bash, anything else is an "ism" or "phobic" but where Christianity is concerned it is open season and a free for all to slate. Jesus said we should be prepared to be hated as they hated Him first and so it goes.
