Not Morality, Sin. We have discussed the differences before, and you yourself are having trouble understanding the concept. Now try and imagine someone who has never even heard of this concept before, what could he possiable compare it to?
Quote:So basically, it is exactly what I said. If you take god's word for it, then you can delude yourself into thinking it makes sense.
God is the standard in which everything is judged. So yes.
Quote:God didn't give us any morals. How is that not a defect?
Because their was only one way to sin back then, all we had to understand was not to fall into that sin. (again Morality has little to do with identifying sin)
Quote:It seems that you have given some sort of answer for pretty much all of the question.
I answer an illustration with a simliar illustration. leaving the topic open for questions. The OP did not have any so I can only assume 'he' got it.
Quote:You failed to answer the main point (about why the fire mistake was so grave) previously, but have added an (albiet unsatisfactory) answer here. It basically comes down to "is god perfectly moral or not"? (hint: It starts with an 'n'. Explicit hint: No)
It seems you are confusing threads.
