The rule of conscience isn't strange. You currently LIVE by it, in every decision you make, if you are attempting to live righteously.Do not be led away be diverse and strange teachings.
The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?A person faithful to the rule of conscience - he always does what he feels is good/right, to the best of his knowledge and ability - is a righteous person. There is no other possible definition.
An unrighteous person, therefore, is someone unfaithful to the rule of conscience.
See above.
And yet you can't paint me a single scenario warranting departure from the rule of conscience.The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
I'd say any moral principle that justifies the holocaust warrants departure.And yet you can't paint me a single scenario warranting departure from the rule of conscience.
Hm...I wonder why that might be. Boy, that's a tough one!
To summarize the last few posts:Do not be led away be diverse and strange teachings.
How about we start with this. Were Moses and Joshua evil in their effort to slaughter 7 nations to lay hold of Canaan?I'd say any moral principle that justifies the holocaust warrants departure.
Are you really about to try to compare the conquest of Israel with the holocaust? Wow.How about we start with this. Were Moses and Joshua evil in their effort to slaughter 7 nations to lay hold of Canaan?
You're not making any sense. Maybe you could be a little more specific.There are plenty of instances in my life where my own sense of right would have led to doing the wrong thing, some I've acted on and some I haven't.
More deflection. Every time you get backed into a corner, you deflect.Are you really about to try to compare the conquest of Israel with the holocaust? Wow.
That's not deflection, it'd be like comparing the execution of a criminal with the murder of an innocent as morally equivalent.More deflection. Every time you get backed into a corner, you deflect.
Entire nations were criminal? How would Moses and Joshua know that information?That's not deflection, it'd be like comparing the execution of a criminal with the murder of an innocent as morally equivalent.
Deflection. That's not what I asked you.Yes, entire nations were criminal. The Canaanites were wiped out for, among other crimes, sacrificing their children to Molech.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!@Fervent,
Should Hitler have tried to do good? Or evil? That's really all the rule of conscience addresses.
Are you going to deflect even on this simple question?
Your "rule of conscience" renders the terms good and evil meaningless, since apparently everyone defines them for themselves and there is no objective standard.@Fervent,
And you still haven't painted me one SPECIFIC scenario where someone should try to be evil.
So you've done nothing but corroborate the rule of consciennce.
