Haha Kinda shows who's boss doesn't it. I mean this is obviously a trivial response. The angle you view things is entirely dependent upon what you initially believe. A person who believes that God is our Creator and All-knowing All-wise will not have the same opinion as someone who doesn't.(May 23, 2013 at 4:35 pm)John V Wrote: Again, if it's less than absolutely persuasive, law is required.
Sure, and that's fine, but not all law is equal. And, it's much worse when the law is arbitrary and unfair. Why would anyone's conscience tell them it's wrong to work on a certain day of the week?
Quote:I also included the passage on being judged according to your own judgment, which works even if the person's conscience is far removed from god's law.
Guess I'm okay, then.
Quote:No, as all beings would have known evil. No new babies in heaven ya know.
Then, why not destroy it right now and be done with it, since we already know it?
Quote:Because men are evil, but most don't want to admit it.
Evil according to what standard? The arbitrary whims of a god are not a good standard for good and evil. Humans are the ones who have to actually experience good and evil and live with its consequences; God does not. Therefore, it is our definitions which should matter, rather than his.
