Morality

[genkaus]

I have posted this definition several times in past posts.

You can keep repeating it as many times you like - that does not make it correct.

Morality is man's attempt to establish a righteous standard based on the sin he or the society he lives in is willing to except Incorporated into that standard.

Wrong. Morality is simply a code of conduct that guides a man's or a society's actions.

Morality is not true Righteousness or God's Righteousness. God's Righteousness is a sinless standard no one can achieve.

Wrong. The moral code determines what is right and what is wrong. Therefore, any righteousness depends upon the morality.

Morality says: It is ok to lie to save your friend's life.

Righteousness says: it is always a sin to lie no matter what the reason.

Wrong. If morality says that, righteousness says that as well.

God's righteousness is absolute, and never changes.

Man's Morality is on a sliding scale always identified by the lessor of two evils.

Wrong. If something like a god of your bible exists, then his morality changes more than a weather-vane.

That said know that 'morality' is not the universal standard of good. Morality is a constantly changing to suit the the personal or civil righteousness of a community of people. What once was moral could now be considered a crime, and vise versa.

Half-right. Morality is the standard to determine what is good and righteous.

I say that to help those looking to frame questions based on "morality." Most of the time it is used an absolute standard when in fact it is not.

Then you should stop using morality and righteousness as absolute standards.
