So, if God does something then it`s moral but if humans do it it`s immoral?
And who created life and morality? I can`t judge but God can. Is this two sets of morals aswell? Moral relativism exists on leveled playing fields, like you saying that something is morality and me saying that it`s not. It was God, who is morality, who created morality, who decided what is morality.
To understand God`s ways you can`t reduce it to just morality since He`s not just morality, otherwise you won`t understand Him. To understand His morality you have to know all of Him.
How can you, honestly, judge God`s morality when you weren`t the one who created morality? You are making yourself God as you decide by your own criteria what is morality. And i ask you, is that what you want to do?
That`s not what i said, nor what i have been saying. I always said that - even pointed out those who lived before Christ - that people can go to either heaven or hell even without knowing the word of God, but the same situation still applies after knowing the word of God. So, in that regard, the same two possibilities exist without change.
What changes is that, and this is where we disagree, is that knowing might someone`s action/responsability but deciding on that something is the person`s responsability. Mine ends with the telliing, his begins with the deciding.
When i spoke about knowing the world, i was trying to say that people all around know what can lead them to heaven or hell, even before knowing of God. Leaving your life, as extreme as it might sound, is travelling a path: good or bad. And you can change any second of your life.
You say that salvation should be about morality. But isn`t life more then morality? Isn`t more than just morality? So, in both cases, why should it be reduced to just a part of it to acquire salvation or hell?
When i teach someone something, i teach them about the good or the bad, but the message always focus on the good - so is the word of God - but i also speak about the bad as a warning so people can understand why it`s good, why it`s bad and repercussions on both actions.
That`s not throwing people in front of a car. It`s showing them a way, asking them to walk on the sidewalk because it`s good for them but warning also of the dangers for those who decide to walk in the street. I only showed the way, it´s people who decide where to put their feet in. And that is not my responsability.
I honestly do not know about other religions, but i do know this: Christ is our saviour. And that`s all i need to know.
God isn`t good to people?
If God wasn`t good then Jesus wouldn`t have died to so we could regain heaven. What Jesus always asked of us was to reject ourselves, accept our crosses and follow Him. Didn`t He do that, even literally?
Do you think that by punishing God doesn`t care? God gives us all the chances in the world to accept Him. Our reward, whatever it is, good or bad, is the consequence of our actions. It`s not God`s fault that we made mistakes in the first place.
If your read about the marian apparitions that i pointed out you would know that God tries everything to save us. He even lets our prayers and sufferings have a role in the salvation of others. If that`s not caring, then i don`t know what is.
