Do Christians Have a Higher Moral Standard Than the God They Believe In?

How can human beings believe and teach, that they have a higher moral and ethical standard than the God they profess to believe in?

(KELOWNA, BC) - The Olympic games are the biggest sport event and business venture of the year. Hopes and dreams are made and shattered in a fraction of a second. One competitor’s mistake is someone else’s good fortune.

The medalists stand to make fortunes, while those who trained equally hard are soon forgotten and left with their tears. Winners or losers, they all knew the risk since judgments at the Olympics are based on individual performance. No bias of race, colour or religion. Neither does it matter if the parents or their parents had a criminal past. In this respect we humans are fair and just, we hold no prejudices.

Compare this to the billions of people who have been brought up over the centuries (brainwashed), who lived and died with the guilt and fear of original sin by a single act of Adam; which actually made him a human being, rather than a subservient slave. But, God decreed that from then on all human beings should bear the guilt of Adam’s disobedience as sinners. So says the Bible, and believers are not to question it.

Now, suppose if someone at the Olympics would challenge a medallist of his/her just reward on grounds that his/her ancestors had an unlawful past. Wouldn’t that person be the laughing stock of the world?

How, then, can human beings believe and teach, that they have a higher moral and ethical standard than the God they profess to believe in? If this is not awful enough, it is that people with these ancient mentalities are ruling the world, at all our peril.

The so-called Left and scientists have, so far, been unable to formulate a new vision-philosophy, from twenty first century scientific discoveries, that would capture the hearts and minds of people.

Imagine, if a physicist, like Neil Turok can honestly say in his book THE UNIVERSE WITHIN that, “Nature is organized in better ways, from which we can learn… Who are we in the end? As far as we know, we represent something very rare in the universe-the organisation of matter and energy into living, conscious beings…Great mysteries remain… are we actually the door openers to the future? Might we be the means for the universe to gain a consciousness of itself?” I think so.
