In this episode, I explore the changing landscape of laws, drawing parallels between ancient biblical laws and contemporary societal norms. I delve into the concept of adapting laws to fit the current era, pointing out the inconsistency in selectively following certain laws that were based on another man’s faith or creed. Basically, if was not asked my opinion of the law, why must a blindly adhere to it?
Emphasis is placed on individual responsibility to challenge unjust laws and the consequences of ignoring or opposing them. The importance of understanding and potentially revising laws is emphasized to maintain a just society.
The episode also touches upon the practice of condemning outdated customs while retaining others, shedding light on the need for a more holistic approach to legal and moral frameworks.
- Some laws, like the prohibition of marijuana or opening for business on Sundays, have historical religious influences that are no longer relevant in modern society.
- Ancient laws, such as stoning disobedient children, were once considered valid but have evolved over time to be no longer acceptable in society.
- The enforcement and practicality of certain laws in today’s world are questioned, emphasizing the need for understanding the origins of laws and individual responsibility to challenge unjust laws.
- I advocate for questioning laws, advocating for change, and living by personal ethical codes, rather than blindly following laws that may be deemed unjust or outdated.
