Why are People Ignoring Natural and Moral Law?
Most people are not fully aware they are doing this, but our conscience has a big role to play in mankind's salvation. Some evangelicals are content not to have a system of ethics and or moral theology like us Catholic's but it still doesn't change the nature of sin. Some Christians don't believe in a spiritual law, so they conclude that categorizing sin is a fruitless effort. Just tell people they are sinners and they need to repent, and we'll work out how they will actually live their lives, after they get saved.
We can fall into a deeply human error if we think this way about our biblical ethics and morality, and although I agree that we are saved by faith, there is something deeply irresponsible about not telling the world that God actually has a standard for living even for Christians. We are not talking about loosing your salvation, we are talking about keeping it, and the maintenance of the world system around us. To deny that there is no natural law or no moral law, says much about our week political conscience as a society. It is God's will that we strengthen our fabric so that our world doesn't fall apart.
We are fully aware of what is right and what is wrong naturally, so I don't see the problem with working with our nature and reason, and following the natural and moral laws as a consequence. Spiritual law is like riding a bike, if you fall off you get back on, and if you haven't rode on one in a very long time, chances are you just might remember if you try to ride it again. It's different from skateboarding or skiing. These two sports takes more skill to remember how to be proficient in them, if you haven't ridden them in a while. I don't think we necessarily have to practice our morality 100% because we all sin, but we can live in harmony with it. When you stub your toe, something feels unnatural especially if you broke it. Like our conscience we have to live in harmony with the natural law and the moral law that governs our choices and conscience, otherwise when we need to practice our faith, we won't know how. This is Mike.
