Because I wanted there to be a place where people can talk to me about DCT without derailing my other threads. Thanks.
The only person who seems hell-bent on derailing discussion - by creating pointless threads to avoid having to address questions in extant threads - is you.

Fair enough...

Let's suppose that you believe god tells you to do something...and someone believes god has told them to do the opposite. You both have biblical support for what you think god is telling you.

Who is correct and how do you know?

Yes, I have a question. Do you intend on addressing the questions you have evaded or ignored in previous threads before beginning a new thread where you will continue to evade and ignore?
My creation of this thread is me attempting to provide a place where some of these questions can be answered.

I am one man who has a life outside of this forum so no, I won't be able to answer everything and even if I had the time I would not feel obligated to answer every question put to me. I've said this before and won't be saying it again. Anyone here can PM if they have something that is an emergency.

Ok well be the change you want to see and stop replying. Maybe the others will stop too and I won't have an audience.

How is this relevant to DCT?

Ummm...I thought it relates to what is morally correct. Doesn't DCT say that god's commands are morally correct?

I want to know the method for determining who is actually receiving commands from god.

Otherwise DCT is bankrupt as a moral system.

Did you read the scholarly work I linked in my first post?

PM you? How many times did I PM you my questions only to receive no response or evasion?

Divine command theory is a meta-ethical theory which proposes that an action's status as morally good is equivalent to whether it is commanded by God.

So my question is not only relevant...it's absolutely necessary. What's your answer?[/FONT]
