I argue with my mom on this issue. We are both Christians.
The difference is that I have a simple moral code that God has given me.
I think a lot of religious people complicate the subject of faith.
My faith resolves around this. It's all I need.
Add in the Golden Rule as well
-
You shall have no other God before me.
-
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images.
-
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
-
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy.
-
Honor your father and mother.
-
Thou shalt not kill.
-
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
-
Thou shalt not steal.
-
Thou shall not bear false witness.
-
You shall not covet.
All the other stuff isn't worth the time to argue about in my view.
The devil works off of complication and confusion.
When you complicate your beliefs.
It becomes easy for someone to deceive you.
Truth! And I’ve never heard anyone put it quite like that. Probably because it was simple and to the point. Lol. I grew up listening to people pontificate on all matters of reformed theology and to say that it was and is off putting to this day, would be an understatement. Their over analytical minds did them no favors either during the Covid-19 hoax. 🙄🤷🏼♀️
