Come on! How would people even know that they were supposed to choose right over wrong if there were no Bible?

If not for the Bible, things like murder would be socially acceptable. How would you like living in a society where murder is considered to be reasonable behavior?

No more than I would want to live in a society where christian sharia law is considered reasonable and our elected leaders profess to do their god's will in regards to policy instead of exercising JUSTICE and using HUMILITY.

What is writtne in our hearts is the same thing tht God had written in the Bib le.



Quote:
Hebrews 8:10-11 King James Version (KJV)
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.


IMO "after those day" refers to when this worls ends and those in heaven will not need to be taught.

Quote:
John 14:26 King James Version (KJV)
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
The Holy Spirit is the Christians only teacher since Jesus was resurrected and ascended into heaven. The reason Christians disagree on some things is because we have become dull of hearing(Heb 5:11) and sometimes we have accepted what man says without verifying it from Gods word.

However, conservative Christians will agree 100% on the basics, make that on the fundamentals

Yes we do. If compared our beliefs, we will find that some of yours disagree with what God says.

If you disagree with what is in the Bible, who is right, you or God?

Why do you feel it is necessary to post something that is not true? There is no such thing as christian sharia law, Nothing even close. WE say "love your enemy" and" you shall not murder." Does sharia law have those requirements.

Christians are much more concerned with justice and humiity than the secular fundamentals.

You post show you lack in humility.
