Can Western Christians even think ethically any more? Peter Bolt

Tyler Braun10/05/2008 10:14 AM

this is assuming that is it because of Christians that western values have changed. i don’t think you could be farther from the truth. i don’t think Christians hold different values, they have chosen to less and less, force their values on others.

It seems to me that the value that is held up above most at the moment is “tolerance” but used such that it means there is no right or wrong, good or bad.  We seem to be expected to tollerate all manner of things that the Bible clearly teaches is wrong. 

At times I think we (I suppose I really mean “I”) have moved away from loving the sinner but hating the sin to feeling luke warm about the sinner and not even noticing the sin. It seems that is what society expects and the worst thing we could do, in the eyes of society, is to speak out.
