But an objective moral can be justifiably breached without undermining its objectivity. If the object moral is not to kill and a person kills someone by defending their family then this is also a moral objective to protect life especially you family. When two objective morals clash then one can take precedent. This will apply even more so to God as he is said to be all good and all knowing so he will be in a position to make the ultimate right act whatever that may be.
Either morality applies to God, or it doesn't.
God is the one who sets the objective morals and the one we measure objective morals by so I am not sure we can compare ourselves in the same league. One is the creator and the other the created.
Now you're saying that (1) morality isn't absolute, but merely an arbitrary decision made by God, and (2) God operates under a different set of rules, which again implies more than one set of rules.
According to the American College of Pediatricians it is life and a human being and cannot be separated.
The predominance of human biological research confirms that human life begins at conception—fertilization. At fertilization, the human being emerges as a whole, genetically distinct, individuated zygotic living human organism
The claim that human life beings at conception is clearly untrue in the case of identical twins or triplets, who come into existence AFTER conception.
It's hard to define what a human being is, but one aspect is that they are distinct and quantifiable. If you can't count them, they ain't human. At the moment of conception, you have a single cell. You are unable to determine at that moment if that cell will later turn into a single human being, or if it will split days later and produce twins or triplets. (Odds are it will miscarry and nothing will result.) My point is that at conception, you cannot quantify the number of humans that will result. Therefore, by definition, a human being (or beings) are not present. It's living tissue, but you can't assign "human being" status to it.
