>>2996659Please don't tempt me to play the part of reddit atheist and list some of the more wacky lines from the bible like wearing clothing made from blends of synthetic and natural fabrics being a sin and it condoning slavery. I really do like Christians and Christianity.

>>2996727You are a protestant? Good news: we aren't subject to the laws of Moses under the new covenant. We don't stone people to death. Cmon bruh.

>>2996724I wasn't suggesting everyone is equally susceptible to sinful temptations, but human-beings act hypocritically and unethically. That's not me excusing them, quite the opposite. Mortal men should not be revered as instruments of God. We can cherish their wise insights, appreciate virtuous traits and actions they have taken, but mortal-beings are not to be given our absolute trust.

>>2996779The ten commandments are the only laws that all people are held accountable to. We're not subject to the levitcal laws at all.

>mortal-beings are not to be given our absolute trust.I don't think a king should be worshiped, the only thing someone ought to put their absolute trust in is God. I think maybe you are misinterpreting my "A King's power is derived from God" as "A King should be given the power of God". The Monarchy is just a position of worldly authority.
>>2996637>>2996780Sorry, I missed this. Historically kings are just leaders of their people (it's why the word has the same root as "kin") and can emerge in any way. To be granted authority by God would need to be done by the Church, which was established by Jesus Christ.

>>2996851>Nation-states and their laws are inventions of human custom; they are not of divine origin.A king is above a nation-state and it's laws though. Unless you mean from a moral perspective, i.e. murder being bad, in which case that actually does have a divine origin.

>>2996901You say you like Christianity but you don't really understand it. You don't really seem to have a clear viewpoint or even a clear grasp on language enough to discern other people's point if view.

>>2996929I don't think you're giving WPR enough credit, he's a smart guy, he just isn't a Christian, and theology isn't his field of expertise.
