Why the Swiss Were Right to Prohibit Construction of Minarets
Response to LeighT @84: The New Testament is clear on its condemnation of homosexuality. People who call themselves Christian and yet deny the authority of Scripture on the issue of homosexuality – or on any other issue on which it speaks – are in direct rebellion against God and His Scripture. Some denominations have abandoned the authority of Scripture to follow after the moral relativism of the world. They have made it clear who is their god and their authority. They have trimmed their sails to the winds of the world and refused to stand with the Lord.
Scripture did not so much justify slavery as it recognized it and sought to regulate it. Neither the Old or New Testament acknowledge involuntary lifetime servitude based on race or any other factor. In fact the Old Testament code on the treatment of slaves and foreigners was actually more humane than any other in existence. The New Testament recognized slavery but also held that the gospel drew no distinction and that even the slave and the master were brothers.
