Primordial Sex--Eden as Allegory

[LarissaAnn]

no, though the bible says obey the law of the land that does not mean you can break God's law just b/c it's not against the law. also, if the law conflicts with those laws of the bible, then you are to follow God's law first. example of this can be found in the story of Daniel and the lionsu den.


yes i do believe this. there are athiests who are good people but i also believe morals should come from something greater than ourselves. if we are to decide what's right and what's wrong, it would be like moral anarchy and people would do whatever they want. that for all we know it's not wrong if you don't get caught.

Then we are back to square one. How is "rapists shall marry their victims" less of a law then no homosexuality? Aren't God's laws, God's laws? What if we followed man's laws that way? It's not okay to murder but it's okay to steal someones car etc.. We're still back at square one too in that we have no written proof that God has changed his stance on rape victims rights.

Why not be good for the sake of it? For example, which would your God admire more? Someone who chooses to do good out of DESIRE to do good, or someone who is only good because he told them to be so they can get into Heaven?
