Submission equates to purpose fullfillment


Actually the reason why rules are set are because we are of some value to the rule setter. We are created in the image of God. So we are of value to God when created. The moral law (rules) helps us to behave the way we are valued and hence when we behave like we are valued then we are fullfilling our purpose in life.

Hahs short and sweet. This is my understanding of my life purpose. Just this Thursday when I was told to do some "lifeskills" presentation. The topic is on "what matters". It talks about purpose and there are some general "canned" purpose for everyones' lives. As I prepared and presented I figured that the "answers" to life sounds very airy and holds little weight when we take God out of the picture.

Believe me when I say I almost preached and started a debate on the exsistance of God. But I realised that I should stick to the lesson plan or risk getting arrested or kicked out of class for disrupting the lesson. Anyways, its not at all surprising that I find people bored in class.

This is to argue for the exsistance of God. I shall post this here for the benifit of those who haven't read this before. Wrote this as a comment on Samantha's blog before.

- On Absolute Truth

The question of "absolutes" is the same as believing in God. The question of absolutes is based heavily on the point of reference. The subject of reference MUST be all sovereign, all knowing, holy and immutable (Which the character of God). Therefore we cannot place the point of reference on any man or thing or else we will be forced to ask who/what then is point of measure.

- On Relative Truth

Anyways "relative truth" is just one of the many ways man/satan created to wipe out their guilt of sin.

"relative truth" is the attempt to slience God by making truth irrelevant. That is why the profane celebrate the fall of a professed moralist; because it levels the playing field and stabs the heart of morality rendering in their eyes all moral talk as hypocritical.

Yes, there is no such thing as "relative truth" because even the irreverent find it impossible to live without denunciation. And all denunciation implies a moral framework of some kind.

They speak in anger against those who call for moral reasoning but they are even angrier when they are on the wrong and recieving end of someone's immorality or injustice.

So to sum it up, the shiok-ness of no law/no rules is momentary and short lived. Therefore there is a need for a moral law (and therefore a moral law giver aka God) or else the fact of its absence makes life unlivable.
