    2. Who is to say what God's law is? The church edited much of the Bible for their personal benefit.

  2. No one decides right or wrong because right and wrong are completely opinion based and have no real answer. People decide what is 'lawful' 'just' and what keeps the peace. Right and wrong are subjective and each individual person's view on these words are different. For example, if someone slaps you, which is more 'right', slapping them back, beating them to death, or doing nothing. Whichever one of these three you chose reflects what has influenced your OPINIONS but in each different society different reactions are taken. That means nothing is right or wrong. It's all a reflection of society and their beliefs.

  5. I believe that god sets an example for us and tells us what and what not to do. Although we must go by the rules of the government. God challenges us to be different and fight for a change in our world!

  8. Apparently, your parents. But, that little voice inside your head can also help. For one thing, your parents might not always be right because they are ignorant in some things, but that voice inside your head and your parents are probably the big ones!

  10. The government dertermines what is right and wrong because they are the ones that make rules. Sometimes God or religion determines right or wrong. Also you can can determine what is right or wrong because if you look at it differently, that's your opinion.

  11. I think that everyone has choice to make but god will help you or punish you if you made a correct or incorrect decision.

  12. It's more like commen sense. Yes it's wrong to hit someone. God tells us not to do certain things and so does the government. But it's more of what you do. Your common sense. But my personal opinion is God tells us what is right and wrong. To forget more of what people say, I do whatever God says.

  13. I think that each person determines there own right or wrong. Most likely the way you were raised determines what you think is right or wrong.

  14. The LORD determines what is right and what is wrong. Because he created us and the world and everything in it. Our parents also decide but they tell us what to do.

  15. I think everything determines right and wrong. All government,culture, and any out side person togather decides what wrong and right not as one but in there own way. I think also that it depends on how people feel and are.

  16. Is it bad if I can't find one I disagree with?

  17. Being a Christian, I believe that life's 'rules' or morals are described in the Bible; it is God who determines what is right from wrong.

    Laws, however, may be produced by the government and may determine what is considered to be right or wrong in society.
