There are 4 types of non-jural law. Divine, natural, moral and physical. If you are to practice just one type of the non-jural law for the entire existence of your life, what would it be and why?
The Moral Law is based on the premise that there is such a thing as right and wrong, and there are some things that you "ought" to do, and some things that you "ought not" to do. I think that everyone believes in a moral law. Even those who say they don’t, still get upset when their house is burgled. The question really becomes how to definitively tell that something is right or wrong. When I have discussed this with non-Christian friends, they normally use their own feelings as their measuring stick. When I point out that, for example, an serial killer might feel that what he was doing was right, the next standard put forward is society, or the law. But can society really define what is right? What if two different societies disagree? By a simple logic, it is obvious that they can’t both be right.
Once it can be established that there is a moral law, it follows that there must be a moral law-giver. Without this standard, then when two people disagree about a moral judgement, all you can have is two conflicting opinions, with no way to decide the issue. Yet in reality, two contradicting things cannot both be right. It seems the only way to resolve the dilemma is for there to be a real, objective standard, which the Christian calls "God".
And when you take away, or ignore, this standard, what you get is a relativistic or morally subjective society, which is what we are moving towards now. I think it is obvious that our society is becoming more and more violent, dishonest, crude, selfish and superficial.
your answer is based from a site homepages.paradise.net.. word by word.. you failed to mention though that your answer is not yours at all.
