morality is subjective and people don't have free will
RE: morality is subjective and people don't have free will
(May 22, 2017 at 5:39 pm)Neo-Scholastic Wrote: Commands are obligations to do something and largely I don't have a problem with those. His yoke is light. But some prohibitions do not strike me as obviously wrong. If two guys want to sword-fight in the middle of the night, I really don't care, but at the same time the bible's teaching on homosexuality is clear. So while I may personally not understand the prohibition, I must respect the authority of scripture.

I sometimes wonder if you have actually interpreted anything in the bible on your own. Perhaps you simply believe what others have interpreted scripture to mean.

I used to believe what I was told, then I grew up and learned to critically analyze scripture on my own.

There are differing Christian denominations due to the fact that some Christians decided that an interpretation was wrong.

Those Christians had their own personal interpretations.

With so many ways to interpret a clear message from god, it makes me wonder more about man's psyche than god being real.
