Old Testament writers lived in a country surrounded by and influenced by heathen religions. New Testament writers were in the midst of the immoralities and vices of pagan Rome and Greece. Yet the moral standards which these writers set forth were far in advance of anything known at that time. This is again evidence that the Bible is from an omniscient God.
How can the skeptic account for the fact that the world's greatest literature and the highest moral standards came, not from the geniuses of Rome or the philosophers of Greece, but from a handful of Jewish fishermen who never went to college nor published a book. Christianity is the one standards that admits of universal application without destroying the world. No other religion elevates all mankind as does Christianity. The apostle Paul wrote, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). God wants us to be unified in His one and only Son, Jesus Christ. Are we really striving to practice New Testament Christianity based on the words of God's Son?
