Should the whole world be run according to Biblical principles?

Question

Should the Bible be used to direct science and history?

and would the World be a better place if everyone in the World became a Christian and all governments used the Scripture as the final authority on law, government, diplomacy?

What if there was a archaeological dig somewhere that absolutely proved the Bible and Christianity so that the whole World would just have to believe - Currently, still, about 4 billion people do not believe (The other 2 billion call themselves Christian, but about half of them are cults)...

Would this make Christians who believe without any evidence (like us modern Christians) jealous, because those people believed with evidence while we believed only by faith?

Answer 1

Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet believe.

I think your question is ridiculous, as are most of your questions ... fraud

Answer 2

Believing in the Bible is, as you say, based on faith, as there is no concrete evidence to prove or disprove its claims of the Divine. It is impossible to prove or disprove Divinity. There will always be those who discover ways for 'miracles' or 'evidence' to have been delivered in a way other than Divine. There will also be those who, even if the evidence is overwhelmingly stacked against them, will forever believe, without doubt that the Divine--that God--is real. They find the proof in their faith.

Would the world be better if it became solely Christain and the Scripture was Law everywhere? Most certainly no. I cannot be more vehement about this. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, be they right or wrong. In any case, all of the minds in the world will not settle for a single Religion, a single Law. There will always be those who disagree. That is why we have countries, why we have states, and provinces. Why we have cities and towns and counties. So that we can better control our own fates--the closer we are to the law, the more influence we have on the law, the more comfortable the majority of us are. That is why we have democracy.

Now, is this the best way to run things? Who am I to say? But it is my strongest belief--stronger than any other I can think of--that self-government is a Right not a Privlege. As such Scripture cannot be universally used.

Besides, be one Christain or be one aethiest, one must admit that different people interperet the Scripture differently. As such, it could not be the final authority. Do you use it literally? Or do you view it as figurative? If so, what exactly is it saying? There is too much to debate over, and faith is one of the things that causes the fiercest of battles and rages.

Should the Bible be used to direct science and history? Again, no. Science is what science is, and history is what science discovers and proclaims it to be. Is science sometimes wrong? More than certainly! It has been wrong a great deal many of times. But it CAN BE CHANGED. The Bible--the Scripture--cannot. Give the population something flexible, not something stolid, immovable.

Answer 3

Burn: No matter how much physical evidence people are presented with, they would not adhere to a system which would "run the world".
The Old Testament of the Holy Bible illustrates this. Take for example, the Israelites. They saw the Red sea parted, the pursuing Egyptian armies drown as the waters reformed, had numerous miracles done with them in the Sinai desert, heard the voice of God from Mt. Sinai - and then, doubted in God's ability to provide for them and lead them. NO - seeing is not believing! In addition, Jesus Christ walked among people, performed miracles like healing the sick, raising the dead back to life, turning water into wine (to name a few) and in spite of the writings of His existence by both, Roman and Jewish historians, the masses denied Him and the rulers of His day had Him murdered. Evidence you say - the Bible contains hundreds of prophesies most devoted to the events to entail the closure of this age we all live in and do people want to believe it - NO WAY !
Seeing is not believing !!! "Blessed are those who have not seen these things and still believe" - sums it all up !!!
By the way; the Dead Sea Scrolls do complement the Holy Bible - can be read and still, no one wants to respond to the message therein. If God really was involved in having the entire world adhere to the teachings of the Holy Bible, it would have been done from the "Beginning" - Satan would not of been unleashed on Adam and Eve to begin with. Obviously; God has something that He is formulating with humans here, on this earth - isn't He ?

Answer 4

Yes, the world should be run according to biblical principles. Would it make me jealous because I believed with out evidence, no way. Bless is the one that believes on faith alone. It is knowing the truth before the answer is given publicly, that is a good thing!

Answer 5

Jesus didnt come to take over the world, he came to save it.

Theocracies have been tried over and over and they only prove one thing, God is good, humanity is not. Then you have the evil people trying to get into the church heirarchy and they end up succeeding corrupting the church.

Unbelievers dont deny God because of what is intheir mind, they deny God because of what is in their hearts. You dont seem to know your own Bible. God did miracles everyday for Israel while they were traveling from Egypt, did that give them great faith? What about the rich man that tied and went to torment in Luke 16? What did the angel tell him?

Actually if you had faith like other Christians, you would know that God REVEALS and PROVES himself to his own people as he has with us. So why is God so remote and distant to you? how often do you read the Bible? Have you been baptized? Do you go to church and serve him? Do you give 10%? Just how much faith do you have?

Answer 6

if the bible ought to help then the justice gadget could have been extra effective as Christianity is the winning faith in u.s., so there's a deeper difficulty...as no person is "chasing" christian regulation makers and regulation followers what approximately struggling with to get rid of the history and faith of alternative international locations? what approximately attempting to discover the actuality and a beter fee gadget in distinctive, older and not imperialistic religions? i'm asking the universe..

Answer 7

if christianity took over science it would grind to a halt and in a couple hundred years wed all die of green house gasses.

why? christianity does not use the scientific process. it uses the "god told me to do this" process.

gay people would go back to feeling horrible about themselves
nuns would start beating the tar out of people
sexual opression would run amock
tv would be boring
no one would have anythign to say to each other
everyone would be weihed down with guilt and not do anything
wed have to kill zillions of people to get them to follow christianity
........christiantiy is a huge weight that...actually all religions but from what i can see mainly christianity and islam are HUGE weights that huanity has been lugging around and we need to shed them so that we can make some actual progress.

Answer 8

Yes, but according to a free will.

PS: We have a lot of evidence for Christianity.

Answer 9

Well, if Religious people were consulted in advance, we'd probably have no A-Bomb.

In fact, if ATHEISTS were consulted in advance we'd probably have no A-bomb.

Government and science = WMD

I think I just outdid Einstein on that equation!

I think we outta pass a law making it illegal for GOVERNMENT and SCIENCE to work together.

It seems like VERY BAD KARMA to me!

Answer 10

there will come a day when the whole world will indeed be run according to Biblical principles --- it is called "the millennial reign of Christ."

Answer 11

that'd make things a whole lot easier! and proof doesn't abolish faith, as there will always be things beyond human comprehension, and faith is a mixture of belief and trust.
