The Traditional View of the Bible#247
In the span of twenty-five years there have been two terrible riots in Los Angeles. I heard one talk show host ask the question, "Where did we go wrong?"The answer is that we have turned our backs on the Bible. For example, we no longer allow the Ten Commandments to be posted in schoolrooms. The Supreme Court declared this public display of the Ten Commandments unconstitutional on November 17, 1980. The court was deeply concerned that if these plainly religious values were posted in schoolrooms students might be encouraged to follow them. Since then, three generations of high school students and two generations of college students have graduated. By implication these students were taught that God's absolute moral standards summarized in the Ten Commandments are taboo. And Ted Koppel actually angered people when he said Moses did not come down from the mountain with the Ten Suggestions! Now these three generations of students have entered the mainstream of society. The 1992 Los Angeles riots, although shorter than the previous riots, were the occasion for more looting, violence, and murder. There is a correlation. When we turn our backs on the Bible and the standards of God in the Bible, we can expect more violence, more murders, more rapes, and more thefts in our society. The problem is that we no longer believe in absolute truth coming to us from God. We no longer believe in God who has spoken to us in a book. So we are a society that is adrift. We desperately need to get back to the traditional understanding of the Bible as the Word of God.
