Greentwiga I wonder if it is worth considering that God "may" have given Adam the moral laws (last 6 of the 10 commandments) he later gave Moses? Perhaps these were laws imprinted on the conscious of man at creation and through the ages with the ravages of sin man’s awareness of them receded and God at the time of Moses chose to give them in written form. Interestingly with the exception of first 4 Ten Commandments all the rest of the them show up in other cultures albeit more as moral codes rather than divine directives. Even the worship of deity is there since every culture worships something. EdB |

We do know that Adam knew about evil, which had a specific meaning. Noah saw that his generation was condemned for evil, wickedness, corruption and violence.There were some other pieces of information, such as one man one woman marriage, and the man was the head of the house. Noah knew about clean and unclean animals. I am sure one can find more in Genesis. The other cultures that you refer to such as the laws of Hamurabi and laws before him can add to this picture. Greentwiga. |

Greentwiga You miss the point. The point I raised is how did man acquire this understanding? EdB |

True, I missed that totally. It is easy to just say God and let it go. So much of the law seems something people would develop logically. Thou shalt not murder seems like something that all societies would develop. In Romans, Paul talks about the facets that are obvious for all to see. this indicates that man would acquire some by logic and experience. Greentwiga |
