For a refutation of this statement the following statements: If you want to study the original source of law, then study the previous decisions of judges since our laws are always evolving based on the most recent decisions of our nation's judges. Since God is not the author of law, the author of law must be man. In other words, the law is the law simply because the highest human authority, which is the state, has said it is law and is able to back it up by force. Please see John Eidsmoe, Christianity & the Constitution (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1987, 2003). Your detailed question breakdown follows: Section: Civil Government section score: 25% Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker

3 A God given responsibility of government is to protect the righteous and punish the wicked. As long as government is serving the purpose for which God created it, government is approved by God. Making the incomes of its citizens as equal as possible should be one of the top priorities of any legitimate government. The more a government resembles a pure democracy the more disorder and confusion occur. Individual freedoms would be advanced and protected under a one-world government under United Nations authority. Under some circumstances Christians are called to disobey the laws of government. Section: Economics It is the responsibility of the federal government to create wealth. Making as much money as you can is more important than whether you have a good reputation. When you study the Bible as a whole, it becomes clear that God is very supportive of an economic system that is based on private property, the work ethic, and personal responsibility. Physically and mentally healthy adults that do not work should not be protected from suffering the consequences of their actions. Christians should be directly opposed to a state lottery for numerous biblical and economical reasons. All forms of government-sponsored socialism stifle economic growth and prosperity to one degree or another. The Biblical purpose for wealth is to provide for one's family, proclaim the Gospel, be a Your answer: Strongly Agree (2 Your answer: Tend to Agree (1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Tend to Agree (1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Tend to Agree (1 section score: 15% Socialist Worldview Thinker Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (2

4 blessing to others, test your stewardship and one's loyalty to God. Christians should boycott companies that do not promote righteousness within a nation because by doing so the heart of their owners and managers can turned toward righteousness. Section: Economics Christians should be involved in social justice or redistribution of financial resources to the unsaved poor or least of these as described in Matthew 25: Section: Economics The Bible states that money is the root of all evil. Section: education Values clarification courses or situational ethics should be taught to students in our educational system. The federal government should require that only a federally licensed teacher be permitted to teach or instruct a child in an educational setting. The federal government should fund schoolbased health clinics which would include safesex counseling. The federal government should be directly involved in determining which students go to college and which students go into the work place and what jobs they hold. Science, history, literature and other advanced educational skills and facts can be taught without a religious or philosophical foundation. The federal government should require students to pass a national test before graduating from high school. section score: 15% Socialist Worldview Thinker Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 section score: 15% Socialist Worldview Thinker section score: -16% Communist/Marxist/Socialist/Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker Your answer: Tend to Agree (0 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Tend to Agree (0 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1

5 Section: family Homosexual marriages should be legalized. The federal government should pass legislation allowing doctors and family members to decide when a loved one should be put to death based on the individual's quality of life. Feminism at its foundational core is antifamily, anti-father, pro-marxist, and promotes lesbianism and Gnosticism. Since it is her body a women should be free to end her pregnancy with an abortion. Section: Law Civil disobedience by Christians is always wrong and unbiblical. There must be absolutes if there is to be moral and legal order. There are no specific, God-given principles related to law or how a civil government should operate and if there are, they should not be the foundation of today's legal systems. Since God is not the author of a moral law, and His Word does not prescribe any Biblical standards for law, then a nation should make laws based on what the majority of their citizens desire. The law should prohibit and declare as hate speech what any religious broadcaster, pastor, or Christian might publically proclaim or teach, even if such teaching is found in the Bible, if it offends homosexuals, Muslims, or any other group. A judicial system should allow judges, through their decisions and rulings, to guide and shape the foundational basis of law. section score: -25% Communist/Marxist/Socialist/Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 section score: -12% Communist/Marxist/Socialist/Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Tend to Agree (0 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1

6 The Bible states that the government does not bear the sword in vain. Numerous verses throughout the Bible make it clear that capital punishment administered by the government, for those that have committed capital crimes, is biblically acceptable. The Bible teaches that a King, President, or Prime Minister cannot come to power unless God allows it to be so. Section: Religion Acts 2:44-46, teaches that the early New Testament Church was involved in socialism (redistribution of wealth) and communal living. Your answer: Strongly Agree (2 Your answer: Tend to Agree (1 section score: 23% Socialist Worldview Thinker Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 The Holy Spirit does not really exist. God had no beginning and has no end. Every person who has ever lived on earth, but Adam and Eve and Jesus Christ, was born with a sin nature. Your answer: Strongly Agree (2 All religions are equally true. If God does not exist, all things are permissible. Jesus in Matthew 22:39 declared, "love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus is not teaching Christians should love themselves but that a man s sinful compulsion is to love self and thus they should die to this compulsion and love their neighbor as themselves Salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned. Ultimately every individual will bow their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. Your answer: Tend to Agree (1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (2

7 The Bible is a reflection of God's character and nature. Jesus was crucified on the cross but was NOT physically raised from the dead. Christians can unite in a spiritual enterprise, such as a prayer rally, with Catholics, Mormons, or Word of Faith proponents, for the purpose of praying for their nation and God s blessing. Doctrine means teaching or instruction. The Bible, rightly divided, should be the foundation for all our beliefs, actions, and conduct. God is the Creator of the universe. Believers should not only base their philosophy in Christ, but they should know how to respond to the critics and skeptics of Christianity with the reasoning and basis of our biblical worldview. The Bible is God's revealed Word and should be the basis of our worldview. Christians are not to listen for a still small voice of God in this Church Age as described I Kings 19:12. Elijah heard the still small voice of God because he was a Prophet. Today, Christians are to hear from God by studying His Word. Your worldview is the foundation of your values and your values are the foundation of your actions. Both Secular Humanism and Marxism are religious worldviews. The doctrine of concurrence teaches that the total sovereignty (total rule) of God and man s free-will to sin is a theological contradiction.

8 Touch not God s anointed as described in Psalm 105:15 means that Christians are not to speak critically of any pastor or Christian leader. There is a Bible verse that states that God helps those that help themselves. A Christian can develop a biblical worldview for every major area of life by studying the Bible from beginning to end in context. God is the creator of all life. Christians observe the Lord s Day on Sunday, not because the Catholic Church changed the day from Saturday to Sunday, but because the Lord was resurrected on Sunday. Thus, the early church began to meet on Sunday in observance of the resurrection. A good person can earn his or her way to heaven if their good deeds outweigh their bad deeds. During the observance of the Lord s Super, the bread literally becomes the body of Christ and the juice literally becomes the blood of Christ. This is teaching is known as transubstantiation and is taught in God s Word. Individuals must ultimately face the consequences of their actions before a Holy God. Ecumenicalism is a Biblical concept that teaches that all religions should come together and work together for the common good of mankind. The Bible teaches that in this Church Age there are prophets and apostles receiving extra- Biblical revelation.

9 Family, church and state are institutions ordained by God. While there is evidence for the defense and reason of a biblical worldview and the claims of Christ and Christianity, it is impossible to please God without faith. Theology is the truth revealed in God s Word. The Bible is a consistent revelation from beginning to end. Jesus was born a man and later became God when He was baptized and the Spirit of God descended on him as a dove. This Biblical teaching is known as Kenotic theology. There is more than one way to God. To know God we must study the Bible and be taught by the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. One of the Ten Commandments is, "thou shalt not kill;", thus it stands to reason that God is opposed to war and nations going to war. Open Theism is the belief that God does not or chooses not to know the future. Open Theism is a Biblical concept. Your answer: Tend to Agree (1 Your answer: Tend to Agree (0 Christians can bind demons through prayer. The tithe was the Old Testament tax of Israel which was a theocracy. Christians in the New Testament are required to pay taxes to their respective governments but not a tithe to a church. Christians are to give without compulsion & generously.

10 There is no reason why a biblically-minded Christian should be opposed to human cloning. There is no evidence for a world-wide flood. If the research and theory of a group of scientists contradicts the Word of God, the error is with the scientists, not the Bible. Adam and Eve were fictional characters that never really lived. The more one discovers about the universe, the more one discovers design. God used the process of biological evolution to create the world as we know it today. Life begins at conception. Biological evolution (life from non-life to human beings) runs contrary to reason, science and history. Section: social issues Christians should work to take over the "Seven Mountains" of influence that include: business, government, media, arts, and entertainment, family, religion, and education, so that the kingdom of God can be established on earth. Truth is discovered by man, not created by man. Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1 Your answer: Strongly Agree (2 section score: 44% Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker Your answer: Tend to Agree (1 If it "works" for you then it must be true. One of the greatest virtues one can posses is the virtue of tolerance as defined by our postmodern world; namely, we accept everyone's lifestyles as equal. Biblically minded Christians should look at the issues of the world as falling into one of two categories, the secular and the sacred. Your answer: Tend to Agree (0 Your answer: Strongly Agree (-1

11 Truth is either nonexistent or unknowable. The Bible says, judge not lest you be judged, which means we are not to judge the choices or behavior of a person as right or wrong. We all make mistakes, and thus we should not judge someone's actions or behavior according to any particular standard. Immoral ideas that are put into practice have consequences. Pastors and Christians that speak out publicly against homosexuality should be prosecuted for hate speech and a hate crime. Your answer: Strongly Agree (2 Your answer: Tend to Agree (0
