Obedience vs Disobedience

-Removed-

Cannibalism is mentioned several times in Scripture (Leviticus 26:29; Deuteronomy 28:53-57; Jeremiah 19:9; Lamentations 2:20; 4:10; Ezekiel 5:10), but in each case, the practice is regarded as a horrible curse and inhuman act of desperation. Moses and other prophets predicted that, if the Israelites forsook God, they would fall into such awful degradation as to cannibalize their own children. These harrowing prophecies were fulfilled during the siege of Samaria during the reign of King Jehoram (2 Kings 6:28-29). Cannibalism was the physical horror which accompanied the spiritual horror of apostasy.

Don't be so silly. You sound like a teenager still trapped in a cult. Your beliefs are not objective. The Bible does not make whatever you profess to believe "objective". Believers in the Bible - Christians - are as subjective in their thinking as they come.

The death penalty is OK. The death penalty is not OK. Blood transfusions are OK, Blood transfusions are not OK. Abortions are OK. Abortions are not OK. Sexism is OK. Sexism is not OK. Good works are necessary. Good works are not necessary. Non-believers are tortured for eternity. Non-believers are not tortured for eternity. People who "sin" will not be "saved". People who "sin" will be "saved" regardless. Racism is OK. Racism is not OK. The Jews are guilty of betraying Jesus. The Jews are not to blame. Marriage is a one-time thing forever. Divorce is OK. Fighting in a war is OK. Fighting in a war is not OK. Killing in self-defence is OK. Killing in self-defence is not OK. Participating in secular government is OK. Participating in secular government is not OK. Shun non-believers. Don't shun non-believers. The list could go on and on.

These are all things that committed, sincere believers-in-the-Bible profess. It's all over the place and varies from believer to believer. Wittering on about how the Bible somehow renders your personal opinions "objective" is plain daft. Wake up. Grow up. Open your eyes. Stop thinking like a cultist.

You seem to have missed this post addressed to you on then previous page:

Was what the survivors of Flight 571 did with the bodies of those who did not survive the crash morally acceptable or morally wrong?

If it was not morally acceptable, why not?

If the Bible is not clear on an issue I have no issue with people doing as their conscience leads them since the Bible does say that we all have God's laws written on our hearts.

So cannibalism is morally acceptable in such circumstances, is that what you are saying?

I never claimed that my beliefs are objective, my claim was that I subscribe to an objective moral standard. There is a difference. If the Bible is clear on a moral issue my personal opinions don't matter.

You have claimed that your "beliefs are objective" countless times. You have also claimed, countless times, that your beliefs constitute "universal truths". You have also asserted, countless times, that the "truths" you believe in are "absolute". "I subscribe to an objective moral standard". No, you do not. You sound brainwashed. Judging by what believers in the Bible believe, it is not clear on a whole raft of key moral issues. Why not address the content of my post above?

As always you are twisting my words. I said I believe in absolute or universal truth and therefore I believe two contradictory statements can't both be true. The Bible is clear on a number of moral issues. On these issues would my opinions wouldn't matter.

You are still dodging the content of my post. The first one on this page.

So are you saying there is no objective moral law in the Bible and each person can behave in any way they see fit?

If that is not what you are saying, how then should a Christian live if not in obedience to what the Bible says? If the Bible is clear on a certain moral issue (I'm not saying it is clear on every single issue) do our personal opinions matter on how we should behave, yes or no?
