The Bible is Law and Should Be Followed Accordingly

Basically the resolution is a syllogism. [p1] The bible is law[p2] Therefor it should be followed accordingly Premise 1Law - the whole body of such customs, practices, or rules[1]A law despite what my adversary claims does not have to be infallible. Laws can be practices and traditions that are upheld by a community or group of people. The bible and the text within it is law to most Christians, Jews, and fundamentalist. I want to note that there is a fundamental difference between (a) law and (the) law. A law would mean this is a law to a certain group of people, (the) law could infer it is objective to all groups of people. The purpose and resolution of this debate is debating if it is (a) law. I do not have to defend that is should be a law to everyone across the board, but that it is simply a law to a group of people. Which it is and which I have demonstrated. Most Christians also believe that if you do not follow the teachings of the lord, you will burn in hell. Which is punishment for now following the law (the word of God/ teachings of Christ) which are in short found in the bible. So yes the bible is a law. Premise 1 can not be contested. Premise 2It should be followed accordinglyWhomever believes this is a law should follow it accordingly. If Christians accept the bible as a moral authority or guideline by which they live, they by their own standards should obvious follow it. ex - if you live in america, it is best not rape someone. You are abiding by the law of our cultureIf you are a christian, you should abide by the laws of the bible and follow it accordingly. RefutationsOpen to multiple Interpretations Irrelevant. Just because it is open to multiple interpretations does not mean that it is not a law. You can decipher this using hermentuics. There is a a purpose in which the author intended the bible to mean. Almost every book has this purpose. Take a song for example" And I fade away into the blackness"Now when you break that down and try to decipher what it means, you can interprets it multiple ways. What you get out of it could be personal to you, but that does not change the fact that the author wrote that verse with an objective meaning. The same principle should be applied to almost anything you read. There is a purpose for which the author was writing, and you should read it with that in mind. The bible is fallible. Again Irrelevant. Half the bible is a metaphor so of course it is fallible. Again that does not change the fact that it is a law to most christian communities and that they all should follow it accordingly. ConclusionThe bible by definition is a law, and if you believe you should follow Christ and the word of God , you should follow it accordingly. Even if it is metaphorical and people interpret it personally, that is their belief and therefore they should follow it because it is a law to them. this was simple enough to refute the basic premise of which con is stating and also a way for me to meet my BOP. I would go much more in depth but I am tied up with a debate at the moment and had to keep it brief and on point. back over to my adversary. [1] . http://www.merriam-webster.com...
