In reply to James Gibbs.

James, advocating for the Bible means teaching the word of God, and avoiding the political notion that says, “let them cast their ballots as they think right.” Going with one’s feelings instead of facts advances poor discernment. Israel went historically after the pagan values of their tribal neighbors at various times, “each doing what was right in their own eyes,” and that is the road to apostasy, disobedience, carnality, and spiritual death.
