What is religion? The Oxford English dictionary defines religion as “the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.” Noah Webster in 1828 restricts this concept to the Creator however through the evolution of language today’s definition could be used to describe several different beliefs including atheism. So when someone asks “what religion are you?” Your answer may be very general or very specific and either would be correct. When someone asks “Do you believe in God?” You could answer “Which one?” You would still be correct in that response.
Cannibalism in the Bible?!?
My reading this morning covered 2 Kings 6:29: “So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give your son so that we may eat him’; but she had hidden her son.”
I have two questions:
1. When there is no law given against something specific (in this example, cannibalism), does that mean that it is automatically permitted?
2. Would Father punish someone by forcing them to sin or is the test for a believer to rather give up our lives in a scenario where we have to choose between sinning or living? There are many examples where people lied to save their or others’ lives.
I have republished this video on Tube as I believe it is important for parents with young children to be aware of the motives behind this movie.
