Good analysis. Duke has a top university department of Christian studies. The detachment of laws from the Bible is the result of sin and laziness. Very sad.
Excellent phrasing on what has occurred in Christian studies-— the “detachment of laws from the Bible”-— that being the removal of Scripture from the practice and theology of Christianity (of any Christian practices, Protestant or Roman Catholic, and probably also from Orthodox Russian or Greek, too for all we may be aware).
Thank you for the post. The school of course originated as Methodist Trinity College— then the Duke Tobacco baronial family financed the rescue of the school, and hence its name. Totally owned/run by the Duke Foundation and many other offshoots from subsequent alumni from the same.
