Excerpts from "Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights"  May 20, 2021

 

    The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University..most Americans do not hold to biblical world view.... grounded in one version of secularism or another...The decline of a Judeo-Christian culture extends back decades, but it took until recently to see the full fruits of this development on an entire generation.

 

    More than four in ten millennials ( those born between 1985 and 2002). for example, say they either don't care or don't know or don't believe God exists. Three quarters of teens and young adults agree that what is "morally right & wrong changes over time"; 31% strongly agree and 43% somewhat agree.

    These two findings are strongly related. ... from K-graduate school that God is a chimera, it follows that there is no such thing as objective truth, Of course if that were true, then those who believe this would have no moral grounds to protest calls to enslave them. Think about it. Who are they to protest someone's else's truth.

 

    Those of us who believe in natural law and natural rights are not stuck in this jam. We believe that God is the source of truth, and his teachings are encoded in the Ten Commandments. In other words, there are some things that are inherently, (abortion and assisted-suicide) and like slavery do no vary over time.. Lincoln understood this, as did Rev. Martin Luther King; there deeds were driven by, and base on, these eternal truths.

 

P.S. I believe today's school system did a good of indoctrination and brain washing. I retired in 1986.

    What's the message in "The Best of the Bible" from today's 365 Must-Read Bible Passages."

 

A Summary of Life, Ecclesiastes 12:1-14

   

    "Don't let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and no longer enjoy living. It will be too late to remember him, when the light of the sun and moon and stars is dim to your old eyes, and there is no silver lining left among the clouds.

 

    Your limbs will tremble with age, and your strong legs will grow weak. Your teeth will be too few to do their work, and you will be blind, too. And when your teeth are gone, keep your lips tightly closed when you eat! Even the chirping of the birds will wake you up. But you yourself will be deaf and tuneless, with a quavering voice.                                                                                                                     

 

     You will be afraid of heights and of falling, white-haired and withered, dragging along without any sexual desire. You will be standing at death's door. And as you near your everlasting home, the mourners will walk along the streets.

 

    Yes, remember your creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don't wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well. For them the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.
All is meaningless," says the Teacher, "utterly meaningless." 

 

    "Because the Teacher was wise, he taught the people everything he knew. He collected proverbs and classified them. "Indeed, the Teacher taught the plain truth, and did so in an interesting way.

 

    A wise teacher's words spur students to action, and emphasize important truths. The collected sayings of the wise are like guidance from a shepherd. "But, my child be warned: There is no end of opinions ready to be expressed. Studying them can go on forever and becomes very exhausting!

 

    Here is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commandments, for this the duty of every person. God will judge us for everything we do , including every secret thing good or bad.
