Bible Question (short): step by step - PART 2 |
Question (full): ... to continue my reply... I can't help being amazed at your statements. Do you realize that by saying "it doesn't flow from abstract morality but the honoring or belittling of God" you give the impression of accepting my "Option 1", which by the way, you say not to accept? I mean, it seems to me that you are saying that the "abstract morality" is not True and Real. Am I right? My reasons for not to kill or to rape are that I don't want to harm anybody. For all this things would harm me a lot and I assume that most other beings would be harmed in similar way. And all this pain would destroy one of the most precious thing we have: The joy of being alive, the incredible privilege of existence and sharing with other beings this wonderful fact. Also is not true that God excludes man from the killings. There are many counterexamples, but one of the most gratuitous is Num 15:32-36. By the way it is terribly easy to find contradictions in your reasons to obey governments. In your case just think in a non-Christian government. If you were living in Iran, would you obey the ayatollah? PS: Let me say for completeness that I think there is an "Option 3" which is the logical simultaneousness of God and the Good and Evil thing. Then I identify the hole discussion with being about Goodness and Evilness. But most people identifies God with something more than that. A God-being. |
