If there is a uniform theme throughout the bible,it is that God - TopicsExpress



          

If there is a uniform theme throughout the bible,it is that God must be obeyed, period.If God commands worship,man must worship.If God commands love,man must love.If God commands murder man must murder.While the content of Christian ethics had varied throughout history,this principle has remained unchanged :God is the master,man is the slave-and the fundamental characteristic of a slave is that he is not permitted,under the threat of force,to act according to his own judgement.But the Christian God far surpasses the capabilities of any human slavemaster,for he can monitor,not only the action of men,but their thoughts and feelings as well.The Christian God can,and does,command how man should think and feel.It is commonly said of totalitarian power seekers that they wish to play God.This comment has a double edge,and its far more insightful than most people realize.
