The Map of Life: Are God’s Laws Only
Moral ?
ICEL
Tony Blair Christopher Hitchens
ICEL
"If the Bible were true, it would be a disaster
because it would mean living eternally under a
divine totalitarian despot. It would be like
living in a celestial North Korea,
but worse because at least you can die to get
out of North Korea."
ICEL
Oh, I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies. I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts. Psalm 119:97-100

Before I was afflicted I went astray,but now I obey your word. You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees. It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. Psalm 119:67-68, 71

I know, Lord, that your laws are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me. May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant. Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight. Psalm 119:75-77

Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. Psalm 119:35-37

Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble. Psalm 119:165
