    The question of whether Law reflects
    moral right and wrong? Hum there is a
    lot to think about in that topic. I'll
    step away for now and ruminate on that
    one.

      Coleville,

      "this proves that our
      understanding of right and wrong is in
      flux."

      Jesus provides the proof that the opposite is the case:

      "But what do you think about this? A man with two
      sons told the older boy, 'Son, go out and work in the
      vineyard today.'
      The son answered, 'No, I won't go,' but later he
      changed his mind and went anyway.
      Then the father told the other son, 'You go,' and he
      said, 'Yes, sir, I will.' But he didn't go.
      "Which of the two obeyed his father?" They replied,
      "The first." Then Jesus explained his meaning: "I tell
      you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes
      will get into the Kingdom of God before you do (the
      lawyers and religious leaders).[Matthew 21:28...]

      Nothing under the sun has changed... Coleville!

        Tom:
        "The real mind boggler is that there are an
        infinite number of Tom's supporting the old
        CWB"
        Lets first start of Tom by giving us a full
        description of that quotation. Then we will
        continue on beliefs and religion from there.

          Agchat,

          That 'Quote' came from:

          Topic: Mississippi River Levels Improve, New Diesel
          Refinery

          " 'checking'
          posted Feb 17, 2013 10:44

          With an infinite universe, and an infinite number of
          parallel universes, mathematics says that there are an
          infinite number of Gods being worshipped. Your one
          God rule is out.

          The real mind boggler is that there are an infinite
          number of Tom's supporting the old CWB."

          Edit?

          I think Checking meant exactly what he said...

          Am I right Checking?

            Thanks Tom. Then we will let Checking do the
            clarifying.

              Why so you think God wants all of those
              prostitutes in heaven? Hahaha

              OK. That's the beers taking now.

                Coleville I understand we need to try and keep
                things brief but you didn't answer my question(s)
                at all. You just reiterated your theory
                presupposing its true. The point of my
                hypothetical was to show where your theory of
                right and wrong will ultimately lead you.
                I can't let you off that easy -so can you please
                give me an answer?
                Question 1- how does the world decide who's idea
                of right or wrong to abide by if it is all just a human
                construct? Hypothetical ( genocide)
                Question 2 - when someone from another time
                /place commits an offense we now find morally
                repugnant,why do you assume the morals have
                changed and not that they have simply just
                violated a universal moral standard?

                  #1 Your surrounding society does. Why?
                  Because you aren't born with it, you
                  learn it as you go.

                  #2 When I read the foremost authority on
                  how to live in a moral way 2500 years
                  ago (old testament), it makes my blood
                  runs cold, because of some of it's
                  condoned brutality. Things have changed.

                    Cole,

                    Interesting Question!

                    The religious lawyers asked Jesus the
                    same questions...

                    His answer was he came for folks that
                    actually wanted an answer about life and
                    we're Not hypocrites.

                    All the law was or is for... Is to show
                    we can't earn our way to a real true
                    fellowship with our neighbour... By
                    making and remaking rules. Only with
                    honest lo.

                    Who is our neighbour?

                    The parable of the man robbed... And
                    thrown in the ditch for dead...
                    And the condemnation of superficial
                    religious hearts, that didn't really
                    care about others...

                    God will not have folks in Heaven with
                    those who actually want to be there, it
                    is a free will decision... Made by us as
                    free agents.

                    Jesus was angry about how people totally
                    missed the point of the regulations
                    given them in the old testament.

                    The point was that we are supposed to
                    Love each other , forgive, have mercy.

                    These are the saving graces that make
                    life worth living...

                    People will make bad choices. Our
                    mission (should we choose it) is to make
                    life better... Not worse!

                    Cheers

                      The auto correct on this blackberry is
                      annoying... Lo = Love

                      People who reject God and don't want to
                      be there, have the choice.
