    Is there an absolute morality?

    I'm pretty sure that 90% of the human race would have several problems with it. I'm not bothered by this. It's a choice that each and every single human being on earth must make for themselves. Me included. Actually, I think it's the foundation upon which all the other commandments are built...

    Is there an absolute morality?

    YHVH's Law. Exo 20:1-18 WEB 1 God spoke all these words, saying, 2 “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4 “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the...

    Is there an absolute morality?

    The redemption of the human race from sin, and its consequences. The creation of a new civilization, on a hew heavens and a new earth. It's all contained in the bible. that is one way to look at it. YHVH has a better way. One that leads to life. In fact, he actually warned us I call heaven...

    Is there an absolute morality?

    That's why I'm asking. The greater good is YHVH's Law. Aren't you glad you don't live in biblical times, in Israel? The law was given by YHVH to create a society that would be a witness to the world of YHVH's goodness, his righteousness, his justice, his love, mercy, faithfulness, and...

    Is there an absolute morality?

    Indeed, the problem here is that you have apparently ignored the statement Jesus made regarding judging righteous judgment. Apparently it's a little more obscure than most people think. Joh 7:24 WEB Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

    Is there an absolute morality?

    Very well then. Yes, the Law of YHVH (God's name) is objective. It's objective because he is outside our time and space. According to Isaiah 40:12, he holds the entirety of the cosmos in the span of his hand. So, how large is your span? It's the distance between the pinky finger tip and the...

    Is there an absolute morality?

    I find it curious that people think reading the bible one time through makes them enough of an expert to discuss their opinions on it, as though they actually get it. Reading the bible through multiple times makes me aware of these things. For example, the sabbath day was a day of rest and...

    Is there an absolute morality?

    You ARE the OP. I.e, you started this thread. Ah. Ok. So this isn't actually based on something specific. The problem with this is that you open the door to all kinds of unsupported speculation. It has a tendency to make the conversations go in directions which weren't the original goal...

    Is there an absolute morality?

    Ok. So let's focus on what you think the "reported to have said" problem is. I've been reading the entire bible for a long time. My recent experience is reading each book 6 times. I'm on Numbers right now. So I've read Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus 6 times in a row. I'm finishing up my 4th...

    Is there an absolute morality?

    I still have no idea what your problem with God the Father is, except that you said he's reported to have said something you have a problem with. So, let's focus on dealing with your issues about this.

    Is there an absolute morality?

    Yeah, you're clearly in another conversation. The OP asked some pretty simple questions. I answered the first, and then to obtain a clearer picture of what he was asking, I asked him a series of questions. You apparently decided, unilaterally, that I'm not allowed to learn what others think...

    Is there an absolute morality?

    Reported to have said. Hmm... Reported by whom? Is this hearsay? Or is it documented? Jesus said Joh 14:6-17 WEB 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now...
