Week #8 Christian Ethics Class

We were glad to have Kolya back with us for the class last evening.
Our class considered topics relative to the importance of the Ten Commandments. As the summation of the moral code God has ordained, the Ten Commandments to form the basis for the proper relations we have with God and other humans. Each commandment has a clear principle as its basis, and further reveals the character of God. It might be asked to the person who dismisses the Ten Commandments as binding, "Can you honestly tell me one thing that you find which is truly bad in these moral precepts?" The modern relativist, or naturalist, might try to dismiss them, or may not wish to admit to them, but when he/she is violated in one way taught against in the Ten Commandments, suddenly they wish to appeal to authorities for justice. Often, it is these same people who are hypocrites, and scream the loudest when seemingly violated. Its like the leftist, political activist, who campaigns vehemently against laws which would protect the victim of a crime, yet when someone attacks their home and steals their stuff, they are screaming for justice.
We are nearing the last weeks of our class and ask you to pray for the fellows as they complete assignments. This class has been a true benefit to students and instructor as well.
