Biblical Law and Government

Lesson Three - Page 4

As an example, here is a complete paragraph from the Preface of the second manifesto:

As in 1933, humanists still believe that traditional theism, especially faith in the prayer hearing God, assumed to love and care for persons, to hear and understand their prayers, and to be able to do something about them, is an unproved and outmoded faith. Salvationism, based on mere affirmation, still appears as harmful, diverting people with false hopes of heaven hereafter. Reasonable minds look to other means for survival.

When you read, put your ‘thinking cap’ on. For example; notice that they did not say, faith in a prayer hearing God, they said faith in the prayer hearing God. This manefesto is not an attack on religion in general or ‘gods’ in general. It is an attack on ‘the’ prayer hearing God and on the religion of His followers. We expect to show from the Humanist Manifesto that: (1) Humanism is a religion. (2) The Humanist religion is the exact opposite of Christianity. (3) Humanism is at war with Christianity. The complete 31 page Humanist Manefesto booklet contains a Preface to the first Manifesto. Here is the first sentence under the heading Preface. “Humanism is a philosophical, reli gious, and moral point of view as old as human civilization itself.” Humanist calls itself a moral point of view. Some Christians have objected to Humanist viewpoints. More often than not the Humanists loudly admon ish the Christian with separation of church and state, and we don’t believe that anyone has the right to impose their morals on others. Notice the hypocrisy in their rebuke. Humanism calls itself a moral point of view. Genesis 3:1, “Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”

ZONING RESOLUTION SULLIVAN TOWNSHIP, ASHLAND COUNTY, OHIO Whereas the trustees of the Township of Sullivan, Ashland County, Ohio, under the author ity granted them in Chapter 519 of the Ohio Revised Code, deem it necessary to promote the public health, safety, morals, comfort and gen eral welfare to regulate the size, location and the use of structures; the size and location of yards and other open spaces in relation to build ings; and to carry out the comprehensive plan ning for the Township; the districts and the reg ulations of this Zoning Resolution are hereby created and established and shall hereafter apply. This Resolution shall be known as the Sullivan Township Zoning Resolution and may be referred to as the Zoning Resolution.

All law is moral in nature. Here we have reproduced page one of a zoning law. It is “moral law.” When Humanists write the zoning laws, they “regulate the use of struc tures” by outlawing in-home Bible stud ies.

Do you want a local zoning resolution based upon Humanism or Christianity?

In The Humanist Manifesto I we find fifteen doctrines.

“First:Religious humanists regard the universe as self existing and not created.”

Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
