The Immorality of God - Slavery in the Old Testament

Uh...no?

If He "gives an objective morality" then how could we not know about it? We would have had to receive it.

He has given no commands that contradict His own morality.

He has given us free will.

And yes, he will ultimately judge and punish those who choose poorly.

But you (and those reading this thread) are not completely ignorant of all this since you have deigned to make the case you posted above.

So, it won't be like you didn't know...
