Don't folow the crowd--Moses

Today as I was doing my daily Bible reading I came to Exodus 23:2 which I have undoubtedly read more than a few times. It says: “You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice."


We can cite a multitude of examples from the Bible and from history that prove that for the most part the majority is usually wrong. Thus when someone presents anything about which the majority says it is the thing to do or believe, I tend to shy away. God's people have always been in the minority and nothing says it will every change. Now, if we want to be on the wrong side, then we should choose the majority opinion.


Majority opinion sees nothing wrong with adultery, pornography, same-sex marriages, abortion, euthanasia, and a host of other social evils. People who take a stand against these things from a biblical point of view are in the minority and are judged "narrow-minded bigots."
