I don’t want to misunderstand you. Can you really not see how Biblical principles inform Christian ethics (let’s say sexual ethics, medical ethics, business ethics, any kind of ethics) if the particular issues are not to be found in the Biblical text?
“I don’t want to misunderstand you. Can you really not see how Biblical principles inform Christian ethics (let’s say sexual ethics, medical ethics, business ethics, any kind of ethics) if the particular issues are not to be found in the Biblical text?”
Sure, but if the Bible is really the source, you should be able to point to where these principles are derived from Scripture, or it is your opinion only that you are asserting.
(I’ve asked you to do this from the beginning, but I still am waiting)
If you cannot point to the source of your claim, you are asserting your feelings and or opinions and have become your own pope, making decrees that condemn those who disagree.
This is how Rome went off the rails. Luther asked to be shown where the Scriptures contradicted what he wrote and said if this was done, he’d be the first to recant and throw his many books on the fire. Rome wanted to assert truth with no basis in Scripture, so they refused.
And how are your feelings and opinions any different than the cults, who believe based on vague feelings about the Scriptures? They could and do easily make the same basis of claim you have made on this thread.
Without truth anchored in the Scriptures, there is no truth. If you cannot show where these specific “ethics” are derived, you are making them up to support a view not found in Scripture.
So far, you’ve taken hundreds of words - or thousands - and haven’t done this. There is a lesson there.
