Grab Your Crayon!

Let me show you what I was talking about in my last post...and it doesn't have to be complicated...so grab a crayon...any color you want...and we will begin...

As a Christian I make judgment calls. I believe that truth and morals are universal [for everyone] and absolute [not want each individual makes up].

Is it enough to announce this? I believe in "good"...I believe certain actions, words, thoughts are "evil"!

I declare this...but does my Christian belief system support this declaration?

Let's find out...

Grab a piece of paper...to go along with your crayon...and we will begin...

At the top of your paper draw a circle and write the letter "G" in it...this will represent the God revealed in the Bible.

Now, below...on the lower part of the page...start drawing little circles...when you get to six and a half billion you can stop [ok, ok...do as many as you want...and pretend it is the full population of planet earth].

Next, draw a line from "G" down to each of the little circles...

The Bible teaches that God has created everything...and as Creator He is Owner...He is the King!

As King...God sets the laws for His kingdom!

And as King and Lawgiver...God will also judge all offenses.

And there you have it...Christianity not only speaks of universal, absolute morality...it also has an overall belief system that explains why?

Here is the challenge for our atheist friend. Take away the "G" at the top of the page...and then try and explain to the six and a half billion little circles why there is absolute good or evil...or truth...

...once God is out of the picture...you have each little circle playing "king"...

...and what gives one circle...or even a group of circles...the authority to tell other circles what is good and evil?

Once God is out of the picture...Hitler's Germany wasn't really evil...it was just one group of circles exercising their beliefs upon another...weaker group of circles...

But murdering millions of people is evil...rape is evil...torturing little children is evil...aren't they?
