Contrasting Divine and Human-made Laws

[alphatmw]

christians, how do you feel about:

illegal actions which are not sins (insider trading, ownership of drug paraphernalia)
and
sinful actions which are legal (adultery, gluttony)?

now i realize my "illegal non-sins" may be considered sins in some sense (insider trading is stealing, etc). if you think so, then think of some examples which would fit the "illegal non-sins" category because i can't think of any better examples at the moment.

should illegal non-sins be legal? should legal sins be made illegal?

My favorite biblical drug thing is a guy talking about marijuana and how it is a green herb and that god gave mankind all green plants or whatever and therefore it shouldn't be illegal. Then he adds the part most people leave out -- witchcraft is prohibited in the bible so smoking it is punishable by death according to biblical law. That really cracked me up for some reason.

N/A. There's a reason they make the desks small for third-graders - to move on.

Sophomoric reasoning:
Sophomoric reasoning is rationalizing about what one understands poorly. It's often apologetics (starting with a conclusion). Though not highly regarded, it's superior to parroting aphorisms.

If one's understanding is below freshman level, sophomoric reasoning may seem a desirable achievement. Nonetheless it shouldn't be regarded as an educational achievement.

There is no such thing as Divine Laws. Those are actually Human-made Laws with made-up Divineness. You knew that, right?
