People shape their lives based on the religions, they have for thousands of years. When people are faced with a decision, the will most likely consult the Bible to see how his disciples dealt with the issue and if it’s not specifically in the Bible, sometimes they will ask the Lord himself in prayer for guidance. These rituals are inbred in many of the people around the world because their parents taught them to follow the Bible in your daily lives. In the Bible, men are supposed to act as Jesus would have and therefore, parents around the world raise their children to be conscious of their actions and to take Jesus into account. So when it comes to doing the right thing, people almost always have a guide as to what is right and to what is wrong. But what if enemies choose the wrong path and intentionally (or intentionally) hurt others? What are we supposed to do then, after the deed has already been done? The Bible is very explicit when it comes to forgiveness. When asked about it, the Bible says in Colossians 3:13 “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” This is clear that the Lord wants us to be forgiving because the Lord knows we all make mistakes and that is important to forgive the mistakes of others.
Do you tihnk, that if there were no religious documents on morals, that the human race would determine those morals anyway?
ReplyDeleteI think that if there were no morals, the government would determine our morals. Possibly, those who govern the masses would decide what is right or wrong (and maybe that would be influenced by who benefits from right or wrong).
