Yes or no Play nice. Living in a Free country, and going on the teaching that Christ gave all men free will, I will say no. Those who are saved, will use it to guide their lives, and we should not push our beliefs onto others. |

It is very difficult to communicate to the genuinely heartfelt Christians that the Bible does NOT communicate every idea worth knowing. It's a guidebook for a close, personal relationship with the Lord and Savior, not a tech manual. |

Should the punishment for worshipping other gods be more severe than the punishment for murder, since it's listed higher in the 10 commandments. What about idolatry? How about disrespecting your parents, or working on the Sabbath? Those are all listed in the 10 commandments (also before the prohibitions against murder and stealing and false witness).
Would laws based on the Bible include the Old Testament laws? Since you didn't say laws based on Christianity, I wonder if the restrictions in Leviticus (for example) would be codified into law? Would sodomy and eating shellfish be felonies? |

I'm gonna have to side with the Founders and say no.
I have this crazy idea that when the Founders had a blank slate to start a new government, they didn't want to make this country a theocracy. Maybe Nancy Pelosi or Obama traveled back in time and stopped them from doing it, sure. But I think it's more likely that they just didn't want to. |

While the Bible (and Christianity) is a major influence on Western law and civilization, using it as the sole source of criminal and civil jurisprudence wouldn't work. Especially in a complicated "web" like the modern American legal system.
Even the Holy Roman Empire and Catholic Church didn't use the Bible as a sole legal reference, in the Middle Ages. |
