Morality is objective. What is moral in this country is not moral in others, here and now in the world today. So why assume your western values have any more mojo on the status of right and wrong than This country's ability to Force others to abide by this faux standard?
Then why would God then be obliged to follow this same set of standards the west can't even enforce on the rest of the world?
Quote:There's an interesting bit of narrative discontinuity/ambiguity there between old and new magic books.which again can be accounted for by the need to protect Israel and the covenant God made with them and their Holy Land. Which again came to an end at the point of crucifixion.
Quote: The reward for fealty (and apparently nothing else) in new magic book...is exactly the thing that heavenly guards were stationed at to prevent man from accessing in old magic book.Then what was the whole point of the sacrifice made on the cross?
