    I am shocked, just shocked, that you do not understand the Trinity.

      It's 3! It's 3! 3 that are magically 1!

            Berean Perspective Apologetics is a Christian Discipleship, Apologetics and Evangelism ministry. Focusing on building up the body of Christ and training them to be witnesses for Jesus Christ. This is done by teaching from the Bible and exposing false doctrines of cults and religious movements.

              The trinity is awfully hard to understand.

                There are 17 Commandments in the Bible, only 3 of which (murder, perjury, theft) are in US Law. Those three also predate the Bible.

                And for your viewing pleasure:


                Later Roman law was Judeo-Christian.

                    I don't know what Bible Lonestar is reading.

                    Read up one, gribbler.

                        The one you do. There are two seperate 10 commandments issued, (the initial set, then the one that Moses is given after he flings down the first set and orders the Levites to kill everyone for worshipping a calf. The two are different, although there are some commonalities). Hence "17 Commandments".

                          So, no evidence to back it up is what you're saying?


                          Let me rephrase this: Of the 10 Commandments which are enforced in US(or most Western countries) Law?

                            Well, there is this dude named Justinian.

                            You might ask which were enforced for a very, very long time. The fact they may not be around today does not have anything to say about whether the entity that was Rome did not incorporate Christian ideas about law.

                            Legal proscriptions re adultry were very recently on the books in most Western jurisdictions, for instance.

                              Here's blasphemy in Ireland in 2010.
                              Secular campaigners publish series of anti-religious quotes and say they will challenge law if charged with blasphemy
