Do you think the world would be better if we followed the Bible passage below ,why or why not ?

Question

Exodus 23
1-3 "Don't pass on malicious gossip. "Don't link up with a wicked person and give corrupt testimony. Don't go along with the crowd in doing evil and don't fudge your testimony in a case just to please the crowd. And just because someone is poor, don't show favoritism in a dispute.
4-5 "If you find your enemy's ox or donkey loose, take it back to him. If you see the donkey of someone who hates you lying helpless under its load, don't walk off and leave it. Help it up.
6 "When there is a dispute concerning your poor, don't tamper with the justice due them.
7 "Stay clear of false accusations. Don't contribute to the death of innocent and good people. I don't let the wicked off the hook.
8 "Don't take bribes. Bribes blind perfectly good eyes and twist the speech of good people.
9 "Don't take advantage of a stranger. You know what it's like to be a stranger; you were strangers in Egypt.
13 "Listen carefully to everything I tell you. Don't pay attention to other gods—don't so much as mention their names
20-24 "Now get yourselves ready. I'm sending my Angel ahead of you to guard you in your travels, to lead you to the place that I've prepared. Pay close attention to him. Obey him. Don't go against him. He won't put up with your rebellions because he's acting on my authority. But if you obey him and do everything I tell you, I'll be an enemy to your enemies, I'll fight those who fight you. 25-26 "But you—you serve your God and he'll bless your food and your water27 "I'll send my Terror on ahead of you and throw those peoples you're approaching into a panic. All you'll see of your enemies is the backs of their necks.

Answer 1

These are very simple principles to live by. If everyone in the world lived by them, there would be no corruption anywhere. There are other principles in the Bible, that if followed would relieve much sorrow and suffering in the world. But since Satan is the ruler of the world, he's not going to let that happen. Not until 'God's day' comes and he does away with Satan and the wicked on the earth.

Answer 2

Every law imposed by God is good for us. Every law imposed to Israel at that time after their liberation from Egypt is for their own good. God dealt with Israel as a nation. Not all of them stumbles with the law, but if any one of them stumble, the punishment is dealt as a nation. God's plan regarding Christ's redemption is His best and Ultimate plan. Imposing the law is just a step.. proving that man cannot be justified by the Law but by the salvation which He had wrought in Christ Jesus... (Rom 3:31; death of Christ does not nullify the law; His finished work established the Law)

Answer 3

Here I understand your question both the mundane and the spiritual side of it.

Yes, it indeed will be much better, for a certain time, yes , but sadly it cannot be materialise in the long run. It was never meant to be.

Answer 4

Would be Better. Peter Wrote " In fact, to this course you were called, because even Christ suffered for you, leaving you a model for you to follow his steps closely. . . . When he was being reviled, he did not go reviling in return. When he was suffering, he did not go threatening, but kept on committing himself to the one who judges righteously.”—1Pe 2:21-23.

Answer 5

I thought that when Jesus died on the cross it nullified the Old Testament?

We pagans already do this, except for the other Gods & Goddesses part.

Answer 6

No, personally I don't think so. Sure it starts off good. But then tells you to be ignorant of others and advocates terrorism and murder.

Answer 7

Yes! I believe we would be better off if we obeyed God. He gives us wise counsel.

Answer 8

Yes, for the obvious reasons.

Answer 9
