Do you believe there are or should be any rights that should be divine?

only luv

What?

Yes there are absolute rights. Like to defend yourself or you loved ones.

The right to die.

natural law which is derived directly from divine law.

Interesting answers. I thought it might be a good topic.

I would also say to have the right of dignity to be who you are.

But we already have all these divine ‘rights’.

What is needed is to have these divine rights respected by other people.

That’s a whole differnet ballgame.

Actually this thread caught hold from something we were discussing in the Coffeehouse for Christians Thread. It seems King James made some changes when creating the “KJV” Bible. Rainbow explained that King James felt he had the devine right of kings. Rainbow wrote:




Then I replied:



So I’ve posted it again just to see what others might think.

He was chosen? Then one must wonder who in our time may be also chosen. Will he also re write something? I read somewhere that a pope will be a problem. Maybe this one?

I read where when King James was given consent that it was told to him not to try and keep writing. It would be pointless and too many to keep up with. That it was never ending.

All known sin will go.
We will seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and His righteousness.
Sin will not have dominion over us.

Pretty big order. I am doomed.

that's ok Kat, you have enough jet propultion there to get you as deep into heaven as you want to go. LOL

What intrigued me was that King James felt that he divine right to be King by the Bible but the Bible through that verse shows that if one reads it from that point of view only did not give him the divine right to be King. It just seemed like a contradiction to me. Unless, of course, he was meaning some other form of divinity.

It would seem like that would be one verse he would want to keep out. It made wonder if there were any divine rights.

I think there is a lot of divine venting in the Bible but that would be a different topic.

Well Rainbow then, if that's your question why did you create a new thread. Wouldn't that question be best answered in the Coffeehouse for Christians. I mean they're the one who are suppose to know this stuff, right?

I think you should take it back there ask them.

Oh ok. I am sorry.

I have yet to meet a Christian who can explain the Bible sensibly. In fact, I have yet to meet two Christians in a row who will give the same answers to the same questions. They seem to differ in their opinions just as much as the non-believers do.

When I was young we used to have preachers visit with us often. This is because my family was very religious and some of my uncles were preachers themselves, so it was common for them to invite other preachers over for dinner.

The interesting thing that I instantly noticed was that even preaches don’t agree with each other.

So if the preachers can’t even agree with each other, then clearly no one has any answers.

Well well, Abra. I was just about to say almost the exact same thing. Many preachers differ on the word. As do many Christians and religious folk. I don't have a clue what I am. In between, I guess. A work in progress.
