Do You Have Biblical Morals? | Comments

I pray GOD will forgive you all.

I really don't understand the motive of providing false implications of the already fuzzy subject of the Bible to the majority of the American population via quiz. Here's my simple response to Homer:

How do you feel about the drafts that took place in our nations past wars. The chance that we would have lost these wars without the drafts is quite high.

But in times of peace and small conflict, we don't consider the draft to be necessary. Try as you might, you, nor I, will ever possess the panoramic picture of human life and time as God does. It's incredibly easy to pick out bits and pieces of the Bible apart and make them seem incredibly evil and contradictory, but when you actually look at it through the ever-elusive lens of CONTEXT, the truth becomes much more apparent, or at least understandable.

In the end, the points you make, and the ideas in the quiz are no different than if I were to examine our country's history and only observe the incredible amount of men that were forced to fight and die for their country. Without context, intelligent comprehension is impossible with anything. Including the Bible

You're vain attacks on the Bible are futile and utterly useless. If you have so much hatred and energy put it towards something useful. Love somebody. Help someone instead of using all of your energy for patronization and hindrance of your brothers and sisters.

were they really that mean?

Wow, this is totally a biased view, and doesn't actually account for "biblical morality." It is obvious the author of the quiz has just taken incidents and used them, rather than greater principles, not to mention the New Testament is very different from the Old Testament, and the teachings of Christ were meant to overrule the old teachings. But it's okay, continue to be ignorant and believe the BS of society. Look how greatly our nation has improved in the last years as we've started our moral decline away from God...

I got 8%

By god I'm an atheist. Actually, maybe it's praise cod, which would explain all of those fish magnets on the back of cars and all those fish sayings like cod only knows, cod bless you and cod damn it.

Aye, I must have me lobster dinner.

excellent quiz

Larissajo-
do your homework.

"Love your neighbor as yourself" comes from Leviticus19:18. So, no, it's not a message of hate vs a message of love. The whole thing is a SINGLE unified message of love, but we allow hate-mongers like the ones who post this quiz to continue spreading lies about the message of the Bible.

But Christians aren't prepared to correct these wrong interpretations and hateful remarks, because they don't understand that EVERYTHING Jesus taught in the NT came directly from the "Old."

Your morality is 0% in line with that of the bible.

Damn you heathen! Your book learnin' has done warped your mind. You shall not be invited next time I sacrifice a goat.

lolz!

8% ... Good but not ' good' enough , will try harder next time to get it to zero ... Atheist and very , very proud of it ! there are NO skypixies, get over it!

Unfortunately, many "christians" still hold many of these old testament beliefs, essentially denying the new testament and message of the mesiah. It is sad but the commandment to "love your neighbor" is much lower on the totem pole than the hate messages of Deuteronomy, Judges, et.al. When will we ever learn?

Down, boy! Are you actually threatening me? That is a criminal offense, and if you are in a different state than I am, it is a federal offense. If push came to shove, there's a good chance they can find you through your ISP, and we would see who would welcome whom.

Honestly If i ever find out who wrote this.. I will come to you f---ing howse to "welcome" you

Con't from below: ... based on nationality, or ethnicity, or large geographic area (pretty much however you define a local population), is predominantly one religion. In other words - monkey see, monkey do. If everyone truly, objectively evaluated all options out there, and picked the one that made the most sense to them, you would see a relatively homogenious mixture of religions independent of cultural group, nationality, race, ethnicity, or family. But you don't. So until you can bring a reasonable explanation to the extreme level of religious segregation among different populations, don't come to us skeptics trying to cinvince us that your religion is the one *true* religion.

Con't from below: ... treatment of women, stoning people to death, flinging babies across rocks, or nuking whole cities for refusing to believe in Him. To me, no self-respecting human would do that. If, on the other hand, OT never really applied, then we have to either accept the fact that Godf does screw up, or we have to throw away the whole nonsensical gibberish that the OT is, and leave only the NT as the Bible, and the infallible, inerrant word of God.

So, until you guys resolve this little problem, don't try to come up to people who actually came to their positions by way of reason and not via brainwashing and indoctrination from childhood to some religious dogma they are programmed to *not* question but take on faith.

To the overwhelming majority of believers here: You are a Christian not because Christianity is the "truth", but because your *parents* and your immediate society are Christians. This fact should be obvious when you consider that any given population, based

To all who are trying to defend the Bible by trying to argue the doesn't-really-appl y-any-more-ness of the OT because NT supersedes/invalida tes/makes it OK to ignore/etc. the OT: Even if what you said were accepted as true, it still would make half the Bible very much so "errant", even if we accept *all* of the NT "inerrant", unfallible word of God. So that would leave us with a book, who in its *entirety* is supposed to be the inerrant, infallible word of God, whose first half is filled with nonsensical, downright evil, and very much illegal by today's standards.

So, did God screw up the first part of the Bible, and he had to revise it with the NT? If so, he is not infallible, and screws up just like you and I do. That in itself makes it much more likely that some *human(S)* wrote it to sucker a bunch of people in. If you claim that OT was appropriate in the historical context, we'd have to swallow the idea that there was a time when God *did* condone slavey, second-class treatmen

Actually, pretty sure that Paul forbid sxual immorality. Largely due to the Roman paganistic use of sexual fetishes, including, in this case, homosexuality.

J esus did say that he was not going to revoke the law of the Old Testament, however, who had to follow the OT? Jews. Ergo, Messianic Jews are still held to what of the OT applies (killing a non-christian, or even a christian for any sin is not 'loving them as you love yourself' Jesus' great commandment regarding others), while non-Jews, who have no ties to the OT can disregard what is not relevant. I eat bacon frequently, I have no Jewish ancestry on which to apply OT law.

Also, when one says 'Biblical' morals, one must remember that the NT supercedes the OT, both are part of the whole, but the NT laws of loving, acceptance, and forgiveness (as Jesus did to us) will apply always above any law stated in the OT.

lilyp said: "It is not true that the New Testament revokes the Old Testament, and that is why a lot of Christians are so keen to abuse gay people."

Sadly, the New Testament also condemns homosexuality in several places, including saying that they should be killed.

I choose the answers that Jezus learns in the NT and i must go to hell. Better to go to hell than to believe in what God tells in the OT. That god isn't love but a jealous, sadistic, hypocrite. I'm glad that i don't believe in him.

This quiz is awesome coated with awesomesauce and dipped in chocolate. Deep, dark, chocolate with Hell sprinkles. Or is that bird's blood?

this quiz is... a way of exppressing their feelings on the bible, and christians... so this means nothing. Nothing at all :)

good try, ryan.

* Somebody please quote from the New Testament where it says "all that bad stuff in the Old Testament is superseded by this new material." *

No new wine in old bottles. No new patches on old garments. Where it talks about the old being taken out of the way so that they new may be established. Where it says a greater promise calls for a greater sacrifice. Jesus entire ministry was about establishing his authority to supercede the authority of the pharisees and sadducees.

In answer to the question where does it say the new testament supercedes the old testament.... Jesus said it. He said he didn`t come to invalidate the old testament but to finnish it. The old testament is the default for those who languish in adams lineage. The new testament is the law of faith for those who escape the predestination of adams lineage through being reborn into Jesus lineage by Gods grace through the believers faith.

It isn`t hard to discern the motive of the author of this quiz. It is even easier to see their own lack of knowledge of scripture.
