Conscience and the Moral Argument as Evidence for the Goodness of God.
RE: Conscience and the Moral Argument as Evidence for the Goodness of God.
(July 8, 2023 at 2:12 pm)Nishant Xavier Wrote: Thomistic Divine Simplicity, or the Doctrine that God is Pure Actuality, and in Him is no Potentiality (i.e. Contingency) is the Solution to the Euthyphro false dilemma. In God, every attribute or perfection that He has exists in the highest possible plenitude, as in its Ultimate Source. Thus, God is not merely Good, but Goodness Itself and the Source of All Goodness everywhere, not merely wise, but the Source of All Wisdom, and Holiness etc.

We perceive Good and Evil exist by our Conscience, just as we perceive Light and Darkness exist by our Sight. But they exist Objectively and prior to any will of ours. This Goodness, which comes from God, and which we His creatures can reflect in certain amounts to the extent that we obey His Eternal Moral Law, finds its Source in God. Thus, God is not constrained or moved by an external standard of Goodness, but is Himself the Source of All Goodness. The more good and holy a creature becomes, the closer it moves toward God. God's commands, to do good and avoid evil, whether already known to us by our Conscience, or confirmed in e.g. the Ten Commandments, or Two Great Commandments of Christ, manifest His Goodness. God has made Nature a certain way, and studying Nature, and examining our Conscience, we can discover Good and Evil. We don't invent it because it is not Subjective, but we do discover it, the same as we do with Mathematical or Scientific Facts, because it is Objective.

You do realize I hope, that is utter bullshit in Christianity. And even your (stupid) religion recognizes it. 
We perceive what has been FORMED in our consciences, and that is different in every single person. 
It presumes that a conscience has been properly formed. YOU cannot judge that, (as arrogant as you are). 
What ? You never read your Catechism ? 

You obviously came here to preach. Go away. No one here needs you stupid sermons. 
You have nothing to offer here. Your PRIDE tells you, you do. 
Don't you have some altar boys to molest ?

The 10 Commandments are not part of the "New Covenant". What ? You never read the New Testament ?
Jesus told you there are 2 commandments. You think you know more than he. (BTW, there are 628 commandments).
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn
