God’s law versus secular law. Which is moral?

God’s law versus secular law.Which is moral?

Our literature is rife with criticisms of God’s laws denouncing them as immoral.

This is mostly done by non-believers and secular law makers and even many believers. The whole world has rejected the morality of God’s law.

Satan shall deceive the whole world. That is scripture.

Believers say that God’s laws are moral; yet very few believers are trying to push for adoption of God’s laws by secular governments.

If believers believed that God’s laws are moral, it follows that they would be trying to have them implemented by governments. Strangely, they do not.

Can a believer believe in God yet not believe in his laws?

No believer is living by God’s law.

If believers believe in God’s laws, should believers be living by them?

Law without punishment is impotent law.

Should believers demand that secular law use God’s punishments where those few laws are basically identical?

Wow, still trying to blame God for mans laws and misinterpretations I see.

Which is moral?

Morality is s sticky concept. But I would have to say that secular law has the greatest chance of being the most moral. 'God's laws' as many of the religious see them (Leviticus primarily), are a collection of rules often designed to help ensure order and health in an era before common law, education, running water and medical care. They were then translated, retranslated, and translated yet again, to be handed down as the version we have today. To follow them blindly as law is to ignore the mental capacity we possess to evaluate.

So yes, 'secular' law has the most chance of being critically thought out, thus 'moral' in my books.

 

[Cliffy]

Morality is a code of ethics. It varies from culture to culture. Religion is just a cultural preference. From my experience, Catholics, in general, are more capable of critical thought than many others, particularly Islam and the born againers who tend more toward blind faith in what others tell them. One does not need religion to have a code of ethics of course but those with blind faith can't seem to wrap their minds around that concept. Secular laws are just as corruptible, as there are too many conflicting codes of ethics within secular society (which includes religious and non-religious belief systems) to warrant mass agreement. In the end, it is only personal morality or ethics that matter anyway. As Bob Dylan once said, it takes an honest man to live outside the law.

Hey the "Hunter" has returned with another anti-religion rant.

Do you have any other prehistoric views to share.

It's up to people to decide. To believe in gods' laws as being moral, one must have faith that there really iare gods in the first place and accept whatever interpretations that are offered by these gods as to what is moral. If people have no faith that there are gods, then whatever people consider to be moral is decided by those people. And what people consider to be moral is what they feel is right.

 

[talloola]

secular law is 'it', without secular law we would be in big trouble. Too bad all people can't be
honourable,honest,considerate and kind, which are natural human traits that allow one to live a
life that really needs no laws, but it doesn't seem to work like that, so the human, being a
highly intelligent species, drew up laws to protect those who are affected by the unlawful. It
certainly doesn't work perfectly, no such thing as perfection.

morality has nothing to do with religion, there are immoral people in both non religious and religious
people, many of the religious obey their religions because of guilt, and many people obey the secular
laws because they don't want to go to jail.

I think most people are good and don't have to worry about
either secular or religious laws, they have their own natural intelligence and balance in their lives.

 

[Cliffy]

Or... there is natural law. To me, it trumps all others.

Romans 13 give us the rules for following the 'States' law as the Government of any nation is the servant mentioned in that chapter. Taxes being one such item and respect for their authoritative figures. That certainly doesn't involve any sort of worship that would break the 1st law Jesus left us and the 2nd law doesn't break any laws that Rome had in place or what most nations have today although some are not protecting the citizens as well as they could and some are evil themselves in that they inflict damage on the ones they are supposed to be protecting, an act they will pay dearly for when the 7th trump sounds.

You do get around don't you?

The point is that we don't really need any "rules" from some religion.
BTW, respect is best earned, not bestowed because of some sense of entitlement.

If you've read any of his posts you'll probably realize that claiming authority from the bible will likely not fly with him. He's not a fan of the biblical God.

Me and DL have chatted before I'm quite familiar with his beliefs as he is with mine.

In Romans 13 christians are told to obey the law of the nation they are in. The beloved disciple wrote Revelation from prison, arrested not for being a rebel to Rome but because she was Jewish and the Jews in Jerusalem went into revolt mode some Rome arrested many Jews so the revolt could not spread.

So that means even Christians can't figure out how to be decent humans without being told? lmao
Like I said, we don't need religions to help us figure it out. Well, we rational people anyway.

What bothers me about the last few rules

“You shall not covet your neighbour's house; you shall not covet your neighbour's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbour's.”

Is that it leaves women off the hook.

There is no mention of neighbours' husbands or handymen.
