[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 694911, member: 60724"] BigBear, What I think Tom meant was govt's laws and morality need not be one in the same. For example, there was a time where common morality and govt laws on adultery were very much aligned. Adulterors could actually be arrested in many states and communities. The same was true with cross-racial unions. Over time, a majority of the people changed their viewpoints and their morality, and the govt laws changed (some ahead of the majority view, others trailing). That doesn't mean that the govt sanctions adultery today, it just means it doesn't have a law to uphold one's moral beliefs on the subject. Abortion is another good example of the difference between morality and laws. Gay marriage will likely be another example in the near future in more and more states (there will be no laws prohibiting such, though there may be morality issues with said). There are only a handful of God's laws that are still man's laws today, and that's probably a good thing. For if it were not this way, we would probably would have all been imprisoned at some time in our life for propping up our own idol in place of God....for example, for anyone that spends more time on this board then revering God in any given week is probably guilty of idolotry. Luckily, that isn't man's lawful standard. TJR [/QUOTE]
