Moral certainty

I disagree with your comment on rejection. Mencken was not saying people reject moral certainty. That would certainly be a very different quote if he had said that. He was saying people think they have moral certainty, but sadly do not.


I do not care that he was not saying that. I never said he did. And the fact that he did not shows his lack of understanding on scripture and this issue.

Questions:

  1. Do you have perfect understanding of all issues dealing with morality?
  2. Do you have a perfect understanding of all that God views as moral certainty?
  3. Do you have a perfect understand, a knowledge of moral certainty in every aspect of your daily life? I mean practical understanding, not theortical?
  4. Have you ever followed your understanding of morality to find later that you were not correct in that instance?In other words, your intention was good, but it turned out wrong?

    Just curious.

Ok you are trying to rehash what I have already addressed. I suggest you go back and look at my posts if you want and answer to these questions.

Now I have quoted scripture which clearly shows two things:

1. God clearly expects us to hold to moral certainty

2. Failure to be right on morals is because of the rejection of God and His morals.

I provided scripture to make the definite case. You once again ignored that. I will refer you to post # 19

An interesting admission that you derailed the thread by ignoring and not talking directly to the quote.

But you told me nothing about your and whether you personally have perfect moral certainty in life or if you have any areas of any moral uncertainty, or events where you are not sure about moral certainty.

Perhaps we should just drop the issue.

More dishonesty from you. Having to explain something so elementary is rather absurd. Your accusation here is not founded in reality or reason. My statement does nothing to give anyone reasonable this idea.

It is probably best that you do since you do not have any ground to stand on here.
