@DélioPT:
They are universal because people do define themselves by right and wrongs.
They're not universal, and I've already said why.
Problem is that if they are created everytime then you can`t understand the past nor criticize, but you do, don`t you?
You have to judge morality within the context of the culture that practices it. It's ridiculous to judge people form the past or from other cultures using the moral rules of your own culture.
Knowing something doesn`t negate you doing it, because if it did the knowledge wouldn`t exist in the first place.
God knowing what you will do negats the necessity of you having to do it. The purpose of life (according to Christianity) is to show god that you deserve salvation, however since god is all knowing, he already knows what you will do, and who will be saved and who won't, thus negatign the purpose Christians attribute to life. That's a contradiction.
If God wasn`t interested in having power to decide then you wouldn`t have free will or the ability to think and feel. What God wants, and you can see that through Jesus' teachings is for you to understand and realize that your "best" is within God.
If you are created in His image, you and everyone are part of His nature: kind, good, forgiving... love. That`s why i said you find yourself in God.
How does this in any way infirm what I said? You said that people can find individuality with god, and I proved tha tyour beleifs are contradicting. This paragraph does nothing more than reaffirm what I said. "Individuality" and "conformism"/"sameness" are antonyms.
