What do you think the ramifications of a global secular government would be? Due Friday, March 25th by midnight.

Answer: The ramifications of a global secular government would include the annihilation of religion. And that's not just Christianity, it includes all religions. Or at least this government would try to destroy religion. As for the success of this goal, well thats pretty far up in the air. However, that is irrelevant. The real matter is how they will go about this. Will they try diplomacy or skip straight to violence? How do they expect to rule without any sort of religion or belief system to hold everyone together? These are the questions that scare me.

Abortion

Question posed by Mr. Dyck:The ability of a woman to have control of her body is critical to civil rights. Take away her reproductive choice and you step onto a slippery slope. If the government can force a woman to continue a pregnancy, what about forcing a woman to use contraception or undergo sterilization?

Answer: The question isn't what about the women, the question is what is the unborn? Sure, if you admit that the unborn are not human, then yes, forcing a women to take the baby to term would be a violation of their rights. However, when you throw out the humanity of the unborn, you must also throw out the scientific law of biogenesis, which states that things procreate after their own kind, causing a fetus to be just as human as a two year old. So then, you find yourself at an impass, on the one hand you don't want to admit that a fetus is human, but on the other there is scientific fact that it would have to be. Oh, by the way, there are only four differences between a newborn and a fetus. Those differences are size, level of development, environment, and dependency. Let's analyze these differences. If size is makes someone more human, then Shaq is more human than Hilary Clinton and therefore has the right to kill her. The simple fact that Shaq is taller than Hilary Clinton has no bearing on Hilary's humanity. Now then, what of level of development? If this were true then a seventh grader is more human than a two year old and should have every right to kill the younger child because they are more developed. Again, not a valid argument, because any seventh grader that kills a two year old is tried and convicted of either murder of man slaughter. Environment has no bearing either. If you are on an airplane do you cease being you? Of course not. Leaving dependency. If dependent people aren't human than we should kill all people dependent on insulin, oxygen, ect. My brother happens to be a type 1 diabetic, which means he needs insulin to survive. Does that make him less human than me? Certainly not. So, in truth, there really are no substantial arguments for a fetus as not a human being. So, returning to the asked question, making abortion legal is not adding a right to women. It's taking the right of an innocent, undefended child. If the government were to make abortion illegal once again, it wouldn't be taking away a woman's right, but protecting that of the child. That doesn't mean that the next step is for the government to force women to undergo contraception and sterilization. That would be a violation of rights and therefore unconstitutional. The question at hand is not if women have the right to have an abortion, it's what about the child? What about the human being killed? What is the unborn? The law of biogenesis would say that the unborn are human, and the four main differences between an unborn fetus and a newborn baby are trivial. Abortion is not a right that women have. It's murder.

Law #4

Read the following article
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Critical+Legal+Studies
then read Deuteronomy 10:12-19, Jeremiah 22:3, Micah 6:8, and James 1:27. What is the difference between how the word "equality" and "justice" are used? How should we as Christians "do justice'?

Answer: The difference of how the words equality and justice are used is the context in which they are used. In article they are used as terms that describe what certain people are after, whereas in the Bible they are used as terms that are physically applicable to every human being. The way we Christians "do justice" is by seeing people in need, i.e. orphans and widows, and lending a hand where they need it. For instance, last year my neighbors husband died of kidney failure. She has been left to take care of four dogs, an acre of property and a class A motor home. Every now and then she'll give me a call and ask me for help with something, and no matter where I am, I stop and work out a time that I can go over and help her. Sometimes it's immediate and sometimes its the next day, but the point is that I don't leave my neighbor in need hanging. I help whenever and with whatever I can. That is how Christian's "do justice" to other. We see someone in need and we help in whatever way we can, whenever we can. Sometimes that might be simply praying for a person we know to be unsaved. Other times it may involve helping someone who doesn't know they need it. Or it may be getting a couple of people together and cleaning up an elderly persons yard. Whatever the need is, we as Christian's are called to help where we can.

Law #3

Question posed by Mr. Dyck on dougswhirldviews.blogspot.com: There is much debate today about Shari'a law. What are the differences between the Islamic view and approach to law and the Christian view and approach to law?
Answer: Shari'a law is very violent. If you are caught stealing you lose your hand. If caught again you lose the other one. Thats the idea of Shari'a law, taking an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth to a whole new level. Christians on the other hand believe that the punishment should be equal to the crime. Like the death penalty for murders or life in prison for a rapist. However, we don't go as far as to cut off the theifs hands because we believe that the human body is the holy image of God. So, how do we deal with theive? Just smack them on the wrist and say bad boy? No, we treat them with loving understanding but still punish them for their crimes. Things like community service or a few days in prison, with rehab after and someone to disciple them in what is right and wrong.
