As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
“What Harari missed was that if humanity has no purpose and, as he put it ‘nothing that exists is unnatural,’ why would prejudice or persecution be wrong when sexual deviancy is not?…By removing the very concept of evil, Harari has no way to call anything evil.” - Breakpoint
“Even those who reject the claims of the Christian worldview… should ask themselves whether, without realizing it, they sometimes borrow from the Christian worldview because their own worldview cannot provide a foundation on which to judge good and evil.” - Randy Alcorn
“Many people in U.S., other advanced economies say it’s not necessary to believe in God to be moral” - Pew
In a recent exchange here at SharperIron, I was asked what I thought 1 Corinthians 8:8 meant. I had just asserted that a being bearing the image of God could not possibly do anything that is morally neutral — neither right nor wrong, because such a being must either express that imago dei, or in some way insult it (or both at once, in different ways).
1 Corinthians 8:8 seems to say otherwise.
