MORAL COMPASS

[Route_70]

It is logical.

Saying that it is logical does not make it logical.  Show me the logic. 

Unfortunately you will not accept it. I have no expectations that you will...

I will give credence to anything that is logical not judgmental.

The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God?s law, nor can it do so. (Ro 8:7).

You said before that it was evident; now you are saying that it is law.  Which is it?

What is illogical is why you are interested in the topic of morals when it deals with good & evil. You are biased against it.

You are confusing logic with pre-conceived beliefs.

I have assumptions based entirely on God's Word. You just raise questions without offering any substantive answer.

My judgement that a hostile mind suppresses and will not admit to God's truth is not original with me and is not my private truth. You will not give credence to what God's Word says. That is highly logical and consistent with my presuppositions.

You are not willing to express your presuppositions.

I asked the question:

What is mankind's moral compass?

You responded with:

All men have an ingrained understanding of right and wrong (to one degree or another).

Then, in the same post, you say something different:

God has specifically answered this question in His Word. Through Holy Spirit illumination

You follow up in another post with:

God has made it plain, referencing Romans 1.

Then you reiterate with:

His Word: ? the knowledge of God evident to man, He explicitly told us in Romans

Then, after claiming that it is evident to all men, you say:

I have assumptions based entirely on God's Word.

followed by:

You just raise questions without offering any substantive answer.

I asked a question.  You did not.  It is not, therefore, incumbent upon me to provide an answer to my own question.  It is curious, nonetheless, that I would have a sense of right and wrong, if according to you, I have, through ?hostility? ?suppressed? the knowledge given to me by God.

You are extremely inconsistent; and that is not logical.

An inherent knowledge of God (generally) attended by a knowledge of God (specifically/explicitly) in His Word) works well logically and biblically.

Do you lock your doors?

This is my thread: I wrote the OP.  Trolling is a violation of the TOS.

My point is that you do lock your doors for a reason.

You fear those with the wrong moral compass.

Your question could be considered trolling, depending on your moral compass.

"attended"

Do you mean to say that one is no good without the other?

Your question could be considered trolling.

No one invited you to read, nor were you invited to troll this thread.

Simple, elementary, well-known theology. That is all I expressed. I doubt any more explanation will help you.

I was thinking the same thing, but I'm apparently "pure as the driven snow".

I read the FFF like a newspaper.  I read Smellin', among others.  Funny, no one else calls me an "online stalker". 

 

[Jo]

As a follow-up, you post on a public forum, then call people trolls and stalkers.  Odd.

So, R70, in a perfect world, what answer would fit your question?

 

[Route_70]

Simple, elementary, well-known theology.

Simple, elementary, well-known indoctrination.

I doubt any more explanation will help you.

Simple, elementary, well-known prejudice.  Simply because I do not drink the Kool Aid.

 

[FSSL]

I quote the Bible and you get all messed up!

So you do lock your doors.


That's the problem with subjective morality, you want to set yours but don't accept the burglars morality who wants to take your things.

Simple, mindless, automatons.

Moral relativism is fine until you run into someone with lower morals than you.

But in your case, most of those are already in prison.

When all else fails, simpletons resort to personal insults.

Exactly.

But remember to lock your doors.

The irony...

But remember to lock your doors.

Why should I?  Everyone in my neighborhood is a God-fearin', Bible-totin', church-goin' Christian.

 

[Route_70]

The irony...

Yes ... a church full of God-fearin', Bible-totin', church-goin' Christians, and not one of them with enough objective morals to do the right thing.  It was left to the atheist to show them how it was done.
