Rules of Etiquette - Intro
Every society, whether defined by geographic boarders, economic classes, clubs/gangs or religious/scientific logic all have a set of rules. I will call these rules of etiquette. Such rules are either assumed or written into legal law. Their rules will govern what they dictate as acceptable. This could be anything from murder or sex trafficking to simply what color of nail polish to where. Thus, a society will define their own rules of etiquette in order to commonly agree upon what defines them as a people group.
But here are my questions. How do today's rules of etiquette, passed down by various customs, feel good platitudes, or popular song lyrics actually nullify God’s words? When rules of etiquette are presented as society’s definition of love or kindness, how do their rules of etiquette actually destroy love, peace and faith in God? Since, there is nothing new under the sun, Ecclesiastes 1:9, let's start with an Old Testament example of the problem and work our way forward in time to today's rules of etiquette.
