Editor’s note: This letter is in response to “We are meant to seek proof God exists,” published in Thursday’s Daily Lobo. That column was in response to Don Schrader’s guest column, “Bible inspires only more questions,” published in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo. In his column, Schrader questions various parts of the Christian narrative as presented in the Bible. In her response column, Victoria De La O cited different Bible verses to counter his points.
Editor,
Just a quick note on quoting from the Bible to prove points: Be careful what you’re doing. I can back up immoral claims with Bible quotes. Remember parents, if your child disobeys you, stone them to death (Deuteronomy 21:18-21). And of course, the Bible approves of slavery: “The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given,” (Luke 12:47-48). And that’s the new testament. Jesus approved of slavery. Just saying.
