1 | Is there danger of guessing what He did? | Job | EdB | 141795 | ||
Greentwiga I don't think anyone disputes that man before Moses held various standards of righteousness that were later included in the 10 commandments. I think Searchers56 objection was my speculating how early man got that information. I had opened the door to speculation by suggesting that perhaps God had implanted a degree of morality on our subconscious mind. And he is right it is speculation. I just added that I found it interesting that all world cultures hold to some form of righteousness as defined by the last 6 commandments. To my way of thinking there is only two ways man could have gotten this. 1 God verbally communicated them or 2. A degree of morality is in fact part of our subconscious mind. Since as the Searcher56 said God did not record in scripture how this knowledge was acquired any speculation as to how man got it is just that speculation. |

2 | Is there danger of guessing what He did? | Job | mark d seyler | 141802 | ||
Rom 2:14 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, Rom 2:15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, Doesn't this passage tell us that man's conscience is God's law written in man's hearts? From there it is a small step of speculation to think that people got together, and wrote out what they all knew was right. Love in Christ, Mark |

Isn't that interesting I wonder how we then reconcil that to the teaching that man has total depravity? If man has God's moral law upon his heart can he really be totally depraved or does man after the fall have a propensity to sin? EdB |

Hi Ed, Rom 7:18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. My understanding is that although I know what is right, outside of Christ, I will do what I know is wrong. "in me dwells no good thing" - we are totally depraved. But we still have a conscience which tells us that what we are doing is wrong. Those without a conscience we generally agree to be defective, and consider that "internal writing of the law" to be universal. But that does not mean that we do what we know we ought. Love in Christ, Mark |
