Do Christians need a book to tell them that murder is wrong? If so, they must be dangerous people?

Question

If Christians need the hell threat just to not do bad, they must have more serious issues

Answer 1

What do you think most of our laws/morals are based on? Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not commint adultery... Which came first? The chicken or the egg? We live by these because they were passed down to us by God in the first place. The bible tells us how we should live in order to get into heaven. It tells us all the reasons we have to love Jesus!

Answer 2

No ! Christians do not need a book. They know in their own wisdom, that murder is wrong. Any one who has a decent mind and soul knows right from wrong. No Christians are not dangerous. Christians know the Commandments and the one you speak about is : Thou Shalt Not Kill ! Make sure that you, yourself knows about murder and keep it in your heart that it is wrong. People who do not know the Commandments are dangerous. Serious issues in regards to Christians are the humans that do not know right from wrong. We are very concerned. Don't worry about the Christians, just make sure you can do the right thing.

Answer 3

I like the chicken or the egg response. Is murder wrong today because of religion? Secularist values in America are deeply rooted in Christian values whether they care to admit it or not. If the predominate religion in America believed in reincarnation would equality still be so important even to the secularist? We can answer this question by looking at places in the world that have been heavily influenced by such religions, and the secularist there do not put as much influence on equality. Do not be fooled into thinking that your morals are not inadvertently based on fundamental Christian beliefs.

Answer 4

The interesting thing to me is that people like you think that KILLING a fetus by abortion is not MURDER. That is INSANE! I am certainly glad that my GOD will even permit you to enter heaven if you choose to become a Christian and follow the Christian Lifestyle. HE is awesome!!

Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
1. We must HEAR GOD’s WORD. - Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
2. We are told to BELIEVE. - To the Prison guard in Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
3. We must REPENT (turn from) of our sins. - Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.
4. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST before men. - Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
5. We are to enter the waters and BE BAPTIZED. - Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
6. We are told to CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL until death. - Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.
