In general I think we are more tolerant and inclusive than ever, a sporadic riot here and there does not constitute wholesale descenti into anarchy and violence.Steve Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243178223616240845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900870923576954613.post-55414830026401069572011-12-18T19:33:26.218+00:002011-12-18T19:33:26.218+00:00The issue is that morality and religion rarely coi...The issue is that morality and religion rarely coincide. Granted some christians are charitable and follow the golden rule, but they are not really being true to scripture. For example Cameron says that the bible is in favour of the emancipation of women but some churches " just dont get it"' but in fact he is wrong. Paul who after all invented christianity as we understand it was quite explicit about the role of women and it was definitely a subservient one.<br />By all means teach civic responsibility, charity, tolerance and community. But, please dont pretend these are christian virtues as they are demonstrably not.Steve Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243178223616240845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900870923576954613.post-10535456938134283892011-12-18T16:39:53.252+00:002011-12-18T16:39:53.252+00:00It would appear that as soon as a positive and out...It would appear that as soon as a positive and outspoken wiff of a comment is spoken concerning the state of our beloved country, about good and evil and God and His church is declared in public, that the usual skeptics and 'knowledgeable' opposition springs into action. <br />As a country, the understanding of Christianity... (and I do not just mean the mainstream 'traditional' churches, but the overlying faith of true believers, those deeply in love with God and His Son and who have experienced total restoration and forgiveness)... has been mocked, subdued, threatened and abandoned has been portrayed as being victorian, dead and no use for this day. So why is there such a moral decline in this country if this 'multicultural society' is correct???<br />Of course the church of God is not perfect, of course there are sinners in the church but that is totally the reason God is in the world after all1<br />I cannot say what kind of relationship Mr Cameron has with God and nobody on earth is in a position to make that judgement, but i do know believers throughout the world are praying for this country and its moral decline and Mr Cameron is to be praised for making this stand and be assured that he too is being prayed for.<br />We have a great God who is compassionate and is faithful to save those who draw near to Him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
