Based on your idea that morality stems from human nature, which needs to be defined by the way, then how can one determine what is obhective without a standard?<br /><br />God is a moral being, that is part of his nature. We were created in His image which would then mean, we are created as moral beings. <br /><br />Morality is not a human convention as you presuppose. Humans by nature, the sin nature, are inherently evil since we do not live up to God's standard of perfection Rom. 3:23. I disagree with your position because you seem to think we do things without free will, which is another topic all together. However, if we do not have free will, the how do you know what is moral in the first place.<br /><br />One needs a standard by which we know what is objective otherwise all we have is subjective morals. This has been shown by the acts of many throughout history.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601530649131055181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805190.post-88895474229757370542016-05-07T11:29:15.157-07:002016-05-07T11:29:15.157-07:00If our human nature is the product of an evolution...If our human nature is the product of an evolutionary process, and we could have evolved along different lines, then the moral laws supposedly derived from our nature could also be different and therefore are not absolute. If we had evolved similarly to, say, honey bees, then we would consider fratricide a proper moral behavior. Yet we do not. Moral absolutes do not have their grounding in humanity, they are grounded only in God.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143812536554517552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805190.post-44973787240668237212015-08-12T05:38:50.689-07:002015-08-12T05:38:50.689-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601530649131055181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805190.post-76094640696483246682014-10-11T13:54:17.170-07:002014-10-11T13:54:17.170-07:00you aren't obligated or required to obey your ...you aren't obligated or required to obey your nature though<br /><br />so at best these 'laws' would suggestions and not commandmentsshtrgrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688439518325469688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805190.post-83745615612437733742014-10-06T18:35:09.136-07:002014-10-06T18:35:09.136-07:00I agree with you that morality is objective and pr...I agree with you that morality is objective and prescriptive. Human beings didn't invent morality. Moral laws are as real as physical laws such as gravity. Moral laws apply to all people at all times, and no one is exempt from it.<br /><br />The only difference is that you believe morality comes from God, whereas I believe morality comes from our fundamental human nature.<br /><br />We didn't invent our human nature. It doesn't change. All humans share the same human nature that motivates us all, and we have no choice about it. Our human nature is inescapable - just like gravity.<br /><br />Are we really so different in our beliefs?John B. Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234524731241646514noreply@blogger.com
