Just seems to give credence to the Marx derision of religion as “the opiate of the masses”.

Speaking of Marxism: Those who instead pray to the god of being offended at the altar of social justice might be just as harmful. Especially as Gen Y starts graduating from college. Both sides are into some weirdo stuff.

Social justice is only a subset of warped income structure.

Capitalist is what we are. Socialist may be how we decide the government should spend.

[BrownFlush]

are you a Christian?

Of coarse I am.

If you did you would say where from.
But you dodge. You have never answered the question.

You are a toad, pond scum, evolutionarily stunted. Sad.

You dodged again.
You are Peter, rejecting Jesus, over and over.

Scared to admit your beliefs are based on religion.

I feel sorry for you.
Sad.

You run from everything but never stop running your mouth... @DriveInDriveOut ..A Hebrewism that means "All mouth and the rest ass"
In 1 Timothy 1:8, Paul wrote, "But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully."
Man cannot establish his own righteousness, and anyone who thinks that he can and seeks to do so is really "ignorant of God's righteousness" as the apostle Paul says.
From Deuteronomy 4-6.
The Law is the veritable word of God. The law is the "commandments of God" (4:2), his statutes and judgments (4: 1). The law is not the invention of men, even good men such as Moses. The law is the word of God.
The Law should be strictly followed. "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you" (4:2). "Ye shall observe to do therefore as the Lord your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left" (5:32).
Man shows wisdom and understanding when he walks in obedience to the Law. "Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations" (4:6).
God drew near to Israel by giving her the Law. "For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for. And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?" (4:7-8).
Obedience to the Law comes from love for God. "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart .
It's clear also from the reference of our Lord to this command, that the law and the Gospel do not differ as an outward and carnal service from an inward and spiritual one. Love holds the same prominence in both, but the gospel gives new and peculiar motives to enforce this love.
One demonstrates his love for God by his obedience to the Lord's law.
This law was given for man's good. "And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us" (6:24-25)
These things "written for our learning" (Rom.15:4)and have brought us to the "law of Christ" (1Cor.9:21) which all men are under regardless if you appeal to it or not
When Jesus confronted the Pharisees who rejected the revealed word of God in order to cling to their traditions, he boldly proclaimed that their spirit was the spirit of rebellion which separated man from his God. He stated what the traditions of men do:
1. Cause men to lay aside the commandments of God (Mk. 7:8).
2. Cause men to reject the commandments of God (Mk.7:9).
3. Make the word of God of none effect (Mk. 7:13).
4. Cause men to transgress the commandments of God (Matt. 15:3).

I will pose this as a question but I certainly don’t mean it to be.

Is all that you posted the burden we as Christians bare or a cross to nail others to?

Another day of religious peace where hundreds die in the never ending battle over MY religion is better than YOUR religion. Where were God and Allah? Nowhere to be found.
