Re: God's Morality
i did not say anything about soldiers being immoral. I asked you how 'putting your swords away & loving your enemies' applies to soldiers
​
are you judging them as immoral becuase they have not put their swords away?
​
No.I am asking you how I can access this objective and absolute morality that you tell me exists in order to answer such questions?
​
If you cannot then I can only conclude that whether or not such a morality exists we are all better off assuming tha it doesn't and instead working out how best to get on together regardless of the potential existence of this objective and absolute morality.

Re: God's Morality
absolute morality only works if everyone agrees what it is and to abide by it. Our world shows that they do not.
​
Well precisely. So why do you think an absolute objective morality exists at all?
​
Jesus provided a perfect model for absolute morality - 'Love'
​
If we all treated each other with love, then absolute morality could exist.
​
And who decides what is love?
​
Gods standards are always stable.
​
Then why do you keep preaching morality (rape, genocide etc.etc.) on he basis of what is culturally acceptable at any given time?
