Hey,

I've read the word "moral" pretty often in here, while the word "ethic" doesn't appear that often.

Morals are Man's attempt to rewrite God's righteousness to allow for "some" sin.

Ethics are recorded morals.

1. What's the difference between "moral" and "ethic" for you?

Ethics are when Someone took the time to write their morals down. Other than that there isn't much difference, because both are subject to change with the whims of popular culture.

If you are living outside of the Expressed will of God does it really matter which version of man's will you live under?

The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy defines it as...

"[Ethics is] is the philosophical study of morality. The word is also commonly used interchangeably with 'morality' to mean the subject matter of this study; and sometimes it is used more narrowly to mean the moral principles of a particular tradition, group, or individual. Christian ethics and Albert Schweitzer's ethics are examples."

I think it's especially interesting, when moral and ethics are not the same.

Like homosexuality, which is against the christian-moral, while you won't find a humanic ethic board, that says, that homosexuality is unethical.
