[QUOTE="mathclub, post: 61665062, member: 284344"] Ok, am following you here, makes sense. Sci fi quotes always help with my understanding. Ok, I already thought that all murder is killing, but not all killing is murder, but that doesn't really help with my understanding at all. If everyone is interpreting it differently because of the language problems etc, then it's not exactly absolute morality coming from the bible is it? It's subjective morality. The subjectivity depends from how each person reads and understands it. Or are you saying that there IS objective morality, and that some christians just simply get it wrong through misunderstanding the bible? So we all just interpret the rules differently, but gods rules (objective morality) are still there? yes, but those slavery rules are specifically for jews enslaving other jews. Which is different. And I'm glad you used airquotes on "humane" because allowing people to beat their slaves, as long as they don't die within 2 days, doesn't fit my definition of the word humane. It is also not moral to me, so now am I at odds with the objective morality of god and/or the bible? [/QUOTE]
