I'm getting the same tune.
"Objective morality comes from only the Bible"
So slavery is ok?
"Those laws are not the real objective standard."
But you said it's in the Bible...
If Paul is the new Moses then women who speak in church are blasphemers... women who don't cover their heads are a shame to the church. Right. I can see how this is a good objective morality that leads to optimal happiness.
What is the difference between the absolute standard of God and 'morality'?
If you knew this distinction, I don't think you could make this argument and not feel stupid. If you don't know this distinction then why make this claim?
