![WHAT IS A SHOTGUN WEDDING? What are we taught by our society today about pre-marital relations? Many ignore what goes on with our young men sleeping around. Some even give young men bad advice, saying they need not worry about the consequences; thereby creating a society full of single moms. They lead men to believe they don't need to be responsible for their behavior. Completely contrary to that disastrous message, God tells us we must take responsibility for our behavior in a society: "If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife.”; That also used to be our society’s way. We had a term called, "shotgun wedding.” Dad would confront the young man with something like, "You did what with my daughter?!" Then if the man slept with his daughter, the shotgun would come out, followed by the preacher showing up to marry the two young people. But today, society thinks no one but the government (taxpayers) is responsible for bringing that child into the world. And you wonder why our society is falling apart. God continues: "If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, he must still pay the bride-price for virgin[s]." So,
one way or another, the man needs to take responsibility. | image tagged in wedding,marriage,god,bible,baby,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4dw40d.jpg)
![WHY DO ONLY 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [3 of 4]
Another reason we can trust the Bible is that there are close to 25,000 copies of the New Testament alone; some from the actual lifetime of the writers. It used to be that the oldest were within 25 years of the date written, (which is amazing), but now we even have Scripture from the same year it was written. Those copies are on pottery that was stored in Qumran. For some strange reason that extraordinary historical find doesn’t get on the History Channel. It gets no attention from secular media even though the Qumran caves of the Judaean Desert (West Bank of Israel) had Old and New Testament materials, again, some of the latter that are from the same year the original was written. That is absolutely phenomenal! The Bible is unquestionably reliable. Now let’s contrast the Bible with the writings of Aristotle and Plato that no one mocks the veracity of. The Bible has 25,000 copies, some from within the same year as the original, yet people feel free to question the authority and authenticity of Scripture while the earliest copies of Plato and Aristotle are 1200 and 1400 years removed, respectively, from the originals. And there are only 7 and 49 copies of those works on the whole planet. No one scoffs at the authenticity of those books, while at the same time they do with the Bible, which is totally reliable. | image tagged in bible,trust,truth,god,christian,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/40k487.jpg)
![IF JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, WHAT ABOUT THE DESERT ISLAND GUY WHO HAS NEVER HEARD OF HIM? [2 of 2]
Even if our desert-island recluse was blind and deaf, so he could not see or hear God’s "Creation" (the first C of 3), Romans 2 talks about the second C, which is the light of "Conscience.” People inherently know it's wrong to murder. Where did that come from? If evolution were true, there would be no right and wrong, right? Of course over time people like Hitler can have their consciences become seared. Early on though, everyone knows it inherently wrong to kill and steal. Where did that come from? Since many have not seen God’s 10 Commandments, where did they get those same morals? That's the moral argument of existence, which says, logically, universal moral laws must come from a universal moral-law giver, i.e., God. There has to be a God. Creation and Conscience (2 C’s) testify that there is a God and those pull the rug from under skeptics. So our island guy has no excuse. The third "C" is “Christ,” and this one is for you! We addressed the hypothetical straw-man argument of the desert-island guy, mountaintop person, or those lost in isle 37 at Wal-Mart. But none of that matters if you’re reading this. We are all sinners and Christ died to save us from hell, if we just accept His free gift of salvation He supplied to us by dying for our sins on the cross. If you hadn't heard prior, at least you're accountable now, which brings it all back home, doesn't it? | image tagged in heaven,salvation,god,bible,jesus,hell | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3zy753.jpg)
