Second American Revolution: George Grant (7 of 7)

I love God too and the best part of Gods law is that you get to choose things in life that only effect you. Now in todays law controlled society I can't even choose to wear my seat belt in my car, sad days.

The Marxists DID NOT kill in the name of atheism! They would've done it if they were Christians, I'm sure. Hell, the biggest lie is that Hitler was an atheist. He believed in God and professed Christianity!!

@whoo689 They killed in the name of humanity.

[whoo689]

Not "picking and choosing" OT law would require us to go back to the Stone Age of morality and oppress lots of people who disobey things as simple as "don't eat shellfish." Americans love seafood! The prisons would fill up easily.

Think about what you say before you speak.

Also - bringing up the idea of living under a man or God- the Israelites did that- they wanted a King- and chose to reject God's - style of government...which was to have people appointed to represent the masses...

If God created us 100% through and through then we are nothing more than a reflection of some part of him. Therefore when he judges us he's really judging a part of himself. Perhaps we're a system of self correction that God implemented for the purpose of bettering himself. Or perhaps my argument shows the logical fallacy of a judgmental creator thus exposing the man made qualities of the idea wholly or in part.

As stated in this video, God is the God of freedom.

God has created free agents. Choosing good or evil. And if those agents are truly free, what makes it a part of God if they choose evil and He judges it?

You would have to have a pantheistic world view.

Perhaps your argument shows the logical fallacy of blending pantheism and a transcendent God.

[icantfindanamethis]

yes

but Buddism isnt atheism

theres still a moral belief system

[billy2bob]

Buddism is atheistic.

It may not be antinomian (i.e. morals)

but it IS atheistic (i.e. God).

[joeratti]

they also do not deny the existence of supernatural beings.

Really enjoyed your video series/talk Dr. Grant, thank you.

[sirjames45]

I recognize this man from my Bible study dvd called:

Amazing Grace (the history of Reformed theology)

[club157]

Thanks for the videos.

Very good argument from a very astute man.

It's not a difficult choice when you have to choose between God's Law and Chaos.

Although Charlemagne named Christ as His God, his mode of operation was rooted in the paganism of his culture. Even so, Christian societies are always going to be extremely flawed because sin is universal. We just think that Christian culture is the best and only alternative. If you disagree, can you name a free society in which atheism or a non-Christian religion is the norm?

[anyusmoon1]

Israel? Moses' Hebrew Republic?

[jcr4runner]

Jesus as the second person of the Trinity was the Lord of Israel, so Christians view ancient Israel as the church of the Old Covenant.

[anyusmoon1]

I believe Tibetans have been quite harmonious with Buddhist philosophy.

Pastor Grant does answer the question by the end claiming that if one were to examine a truly christian, godfearing etc., society then you'd see that they're the freest possible. Although he does not provide the viewer with any examples he does provide examples of less free socities.

Note he mentions Charlemagne, who was God fearing, the first Holy Roman Emperor, he massacred people in the name of God, rebuilt the western european economy.
