A great explanation of the full picture. God started out with two simple rules, then enhanced them and explained them further. He didn't change them, or reverse them. I don't think the moral relativists can or intend to understand that. It is easier to just say rules change do to situational ethics, and your morals are no better than Ted Bundy's or Jeffry Dahmer's, all morals are relative, so do what ever you want, it's all the same.
The real problem in religion today is that we have "something-for-nothing" religion lead by the "faith only" doctrine. Nobody is required to make any commitment to anything to "be saved". We need to be reminded that the devils and demons knew who and what Christ was but it didn't save them. Like in any other situation talk is cheap and it is even cheaper when the talker hasn't studied enough to have any idea what they are talking about. Like Paul told Timothy, "Study to show yourself approved..." Those teaching this doctrine will answer for the soles they lead astray.
If you showed your spouse the same love and attention that you give to Christ and His church, how long would you stay married?
Now tie this back to my original premise about politics. It is easy to see why those believing that God will give them eternal salvation for no effort on their part will expect the government to support them the same way. I suggest reading 2 Thessalonians 3; 10 - 12.
