Because I understand the difference between full contact San Shou and biting your sister because she said Chelsea was rubbish. I have a broader understanding of when fighting is OK. In the same way a case could be made that it's OK for God to kill because he knows when it's OK, but we shouldn't because our understanding is limited.(January 12, 2014 at 4:17 pm)Jacob(smooth) Wrote: Quite true. But that is by the moral standards in which you live. God does / would not Live within any moral standards.That explanation has never satisfied me. How can a source of morals have none of his own?
Quote:Not necessarily. I have a rule that my kids should not use any of my power tools, or cook, or fight. This is for their own protection. However I don't apply those rules to myself.With the first two, your rules exist only because (presumably) they are too young to use power tools or cook safely. They are rules you would not apply to adults. The last is (presumably, again) a rule you likely follow yourself (or, at least, wouldn't break in front of your kids).
Not saying that's the case but it is internally consistent.
