Quote:Divine Command Theory is flawed. God could say 'slay everything in sight' and you would be forced to do that, independent of your own feelings of whether that's right or not.How is this flawed? Or rather since He did not Command that, but Commanded us to Love our God with all of our being and then Love our neighbor as ourselves, How is this Flawed?
In your allegance to the purity of philosphy, you have over looked the reality of the "Divine command" Given. God did not command us to Kill (Had He I would be hunting all of you down right now
) He commanded us to Love God, then Love each other. So with the same effort and zeal I would expend on hunting unbelievers down, I put into my current ministry (if not more)Quote:Because I'm a cause of evolution I see morals as the extension of the basics that animals depend on to survive. I don't need a deity to tell me murder is wrong. I can derive that for myself.Actually you can't. You can only do what is right in the eyes of the soceity in which you live. In soceity 'murder' has been justified many many times. Lest your personal sense of righteousness places you above and beyond all of the generations who came before you who swallowed the propaganda given to them.
Quote:In saying this, I believe I can say it is wrong to create something with the apparent intention of never giving it a chance to live eternally. It's cruel.I guess I will have to say this bluntly, because you still do not get it.
God has not put anyone on the earth who does not have a chance to live eternally. Unfortunatly you are so foolish to think that your understanding of the salvation offered by God/Christ is the only extention of His Grace. Again With Heb 4:11 God/Christ will judge who is worth of eternal life. Not you or those so foolish to think they have a complete understanding of God's Grace. Christ also tells a parable explaining this. (The parable of the day labors)
Christianity as you know it is simply a garantee. God will judge everyone who has Not Heard the Gospel with a set of parmeters not privy to any of us. Which makes eternal life it a throw of the dice, but not impossiable. God will judge who qualifies, and who does not using the same grace offered to all who have heard the gospel. Which still means no man comes to the Father but through Christ. (again Heb 4:11)
