Doesn't it just make you want to go out and buy a . . .

and GIVE IT TO HIM .

Oh, stop trying to be coy, you!

Be a man and pull the word "gun" down into the body of the message
=========================

NO GERALD the word I was thinking of was -- BIBLE --

because I have never seen you post any Scriptures

in any of your posts and I wonder if you ever owned a BIBLE

or ever read a BIBLE in your Life .:think:

Good luck to'm.

Or, for a more peaceful solution, we could try a constitutional monarchy.

:think: How would we ensure that the monarch wouldn't be just as eager to eat mutton as the wolves that make up the majority?

Or that he(or she) isn't a sheep that's developed a taste for roast leg of wolf?

It wouldn't. That's the problem.

Nice try, but I don't believe you. The word "gun" in the subject line gives you away.

...because I have never seen you post any Scriptures

in any of your posts...

There's no reason for me to do so.

...and I wonder if you ever owned a BIBLE...

Yes, I own one; I own several, in fact.

...or ever read a BIBLE in your Life .:think:

Yes, I've read it. A number of times, in fact.

It sits on my bookcase now, with several other samples of alleged Holy Writ™.

Right. It's the difference between 1 wolf dining on mutton or 1 million wolves dining on mutton.

Problem is, that one wolf has a million wolves at his beck and call...

The government. American citizens are disgruntled with the U.S. government all the time. Big deal. We get through it.

I highly doubt that that will solve the problem. People are irrational, emotional beings. If they don't like the actions of whoever is in charge, then they will probably take it out on that person's supporters likely as not.

Which will cause a man to hate his neighbor more? His neighbor having direct, active influence which caused the creation of a policy that man disagrees with? Or his neighbor agreeing with the policy but having absolutely no responsibility whatsoever for the existence of that policy? Which scenario will tempt the man to hate his neighbor more?

Leviticus 11:5-8

Symbolic laws are not in effect during this dispensation.

Leviticus 11:10-12

Symbolic laws are not in effect during this dispensation.

Leviticus 18:21

This is a law prohibiting child sacrifice. You're actually against this law?

Leviticus 18:22

Laws against homosexual sex have been on our books from the foundation of our country up until just a few of decades ago. What's so radical about bringing them back?

Leviticus 18:29

Exactly. People convicted of homosexual acts should be legally executed by the government. What's the problem with that? This is God's world. Therefore He's the one who gets to deterimine what laws govern this world, not us. We only have the responsibility to obey Him.

Leviticus 19:19

Symbolic laws are not in effect during this dispensation.

Leviticus 19:37

And the problem with this is...?

Leviticus 20:27

A "bibliocracy" is not the same thing as a theocracy. People would be free to practice any false religion they want. The reason for this is because the only way to become a Christian is to do so voluntarily.

I could take an oath, that wouldn't mean that I'm a Christian. Also, how would you decide on what laws the constitution should have?

Constitutions don't have "laws" like the penalty for murder, traffic laws, obscenity laws, etc. None of our laws on those issues are found in the U.S. constitution.

Have you ever heard of the Sword of Damocles?

Yes. What's the point?

Y'know, a columnar chart denoting which laws are symbolic and which ones aren't would be mighty handy...

A "bibliocracy" is not the same thing as a theocracy. People would be free to practice any false religion they want.

Somehow I doubt that you'd protest very loudly if a monarch decided to start rounding up practitioners of those "false religions"...

The reason for this is because the only way to become a Christian is to do so voluntarily.

But using a little fear to nudge folks into voluntarily converting is perfectly acceptable.

One could run PSAs on TV, entitled "The Wisest Decision You Can Make". With some professional marketing and a few prominent examples, you'll have more converts than you'll know what to do with...

Are you not going to Die ?

Do you have any Future except to turn to Dust and be gone?


Will that be the End of your Existence ?

And, although enough food may satisfy a wolf, most humans can never have enough money and power to satiate them. Would you rather have a monarch that steals all of your money for him/herself and his/her minions or a democratic government that steals your money and attempts to distribute it equitably?

Besides, when the Israelites demanded a king God said that they "have rejected Me from being king over them"(1 Samuel 8:7). Do you really think that He would be any more fond of the idea now?

You seem to think that we are disgruntled with our neighbors all the time for the same reason. We get throught that also, so why change anything?

I don't think that people get mad at each other over who they voted for, but what they think. But hypothetically speaking, I'd say that most people probably wouldn't give it enough thought to make that distinction.

What determines what is a "symbolic law"?

Originally posted by Jefferson

I was more concerned about the "neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God" part.

I never said that bringing them back was radical. I am opposed to making a civil law based solely on one's religious beliefs.

How would it be different?

the·oc·ra·cy
A government ruled by or subject to religious authority.
A state so governed.

In your case, your "religious authority" is the Judeo/Christian God.
The Bible (if I recall correctly) is supposed to be the word of God.

It seems to me that in a Christian theocracy that the Bible would have to determine the laws of the country.

OK, then how would decide what laws the country should have?

Originally posted by Jefferson

Do you see any similarity between that and saying that you would be fine with Joe Blow being the head of the country's government?

Do you have any Future except to turn to Dust and be gone?

Will that be the End of your Existence ?

As far as I am concerned.

Do you have any Hope for the Future ?:think:

Beyond my lifetime? Why should I? I won't have any descendants.

Gerald, you must believe in something.

Are you an Atheist like zakath ?
