Atheist Tuesday: Does God Have to Obey the 10 Commandments?

Mar 29, 2011Steve Sanchez51 CommentsAtheist Tuesday, The 10 Commandments

If it is immoral for us to kill people, why is it okay for God to kill people? Doesn’t God keep His own commandments? And if He doesn’t keep His own commandments, then what does it mean to call such commandments an absolute when God Himself doesn’t have to keep them? And, if they are not absolutes, then why do we have to keep them?

“Why do you come out here every week and say the same thing? Nobody’s listening. Nobody cares.” In essence, those are the sentiments of the students at Leuzinger and Hawthorne High Schools, who hear us preach on a corner nearly every Tuesday after school ends. I thought to myself, Why are we here? What difference does our

Mirror Christianity

I am reading Mere Christianity at the moment and was inspired to share this quote from C.S. Lewis on the purpose of the Moral Law in showing sinners their need for forgiveness:

Christianity tells people to repent and promises them forgiveness. It therefore has nothing (as far as I know) to say to people who do not know they have done anything to repent of and who do not feel that they need any forgiveness.
