I post the biblical text. Then I normally argue for its plainest and simplest meaning, considering when and by whom it was written. It’s called Truth.

Yeah, no. You're downplaying what you actually do.

"Plainest and simplest meaning" for you is what you think the text means in your own worldly understanding. The Bible isn't just like any other book written by fallible human beings, as much as you treat it as such. Understanding the Scriptures begins with an understanding and acceptance of who the author is (God). You interpret the Bible by injecting other, non-biblical data into the text to justify an interpretation that you want. In other words, you engage in eisegesis, the practice of inserting meaning into the text rather than drawing meaning from the text.

You reject clear teachings of Scripture that help inform other passages of Scripture, seeing the writings as wholly disconnected, rather than seeing them as part of a larger text. You assume Paul's writings and teachings are different from Peter's or even Moses' because you deny (or never considered) basic Christian doctrines of progressive revelation and biblical inspiration and inerrancy. You assume contradiction rather than seeking to reconcile difficult passages. You come to the text with skepticism and unbelief and so you walk away from the text as ignorant as you were when you started. So don't act as if you are some impartial bystander just taking an objective look at the Bible, because that's not who you are or what you're doing.

How fricked up is your moral compass when you admit you believe babies are sinful.

---

Being "sinful" is a description of who we are as people, not just a description of what we do. All human beings are conceived with a sinful nature. Being young doesn't change that.

And again I must point out that you have no objective basis for condemning my moral compass because you have no rational categories for morality in your morally relativistic worldview. You have to borrow from the Christian worldview even to make sense of reality.

You're the one who doesn't get it. You are spiritually blind and are stumbling down the path of destruction.

Your father the devil has taught you to be a great liar.

My father is God because I come to Him by faith in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son who died to reconcile me with my Father in Heaven.

You reject Christ as Lord and Savior so according to God's word in the Scriptures, that makes you the son of Satan. I hope you repent of your sins and put your trust in Jesus Christ to ransom you from Satan so that you can become a child of God.

It would be an easy answer. And a simple one. “No, it is objectively immoral to kill babies.” But you can’t do it.

So you believe killing babies is at least sometimes objectively moral and just. You can’t deny it. You also believe it is morally acceptable and just to torture and burn people for all eternity. You are a sick and morally depraved person. If god existed and if he was benevolent, he would set you on the right path.

I'm trying to be careful with my language as to properly explain my position. You are the one who is not careful with their language, essentially asking the equivalent of "when did you stop beating your wife?".

I worded my response the way I did on purpose and I'll go ahead and explain it for you.

There is objective morality because true morality is that reflects the holy and unchanging character of God. God is just, and therefore all He does much be done with justice in mind, even His mercy.

Human beings are responsible for obeying God's moral law as reflected in the 10 commandments. "You shall not murder" is the command in question in your statement. Therefore, man has no objective right or authority to unjustly take the lives of other human beings made in God's image (which is all humanity). Therefore, to unjustly and unlawfully kill another person, regardless of age, is an offense against God, who alone has the authority to do as He wills to His creation. We, as His creation, have only derived authority and must act within the boundaries of God's law. So to this point, it is objectively morally wrong for human beings to violate the 6th commandment by unjustly killing other human beings, including children.

The question then becomes if there are any exceptions to the 6th commandment, and the answer is "yes", and God sets the exceptions. From a human perspective, those exceptions come in the form of just execution of the civil law (the government killing criminals); the taking of lives in within the context of a just war; and the just protection of life in the form of personal self-defense. Where do the deaths of the Canaanites and all their children and livestock come into play? From a human perspective, in the context of just war. God had sent the people of Israel into the land of Canaan to claim the land for their own as a gift from God as the fulfillment of a promise He made to their ancestors. God owns all creation and can take and give as He pleases. He gave the Canaanites 400+ years to repent of their idolatry and they didn't do it, so God judged them for their rebellion by bringing the people of Israel into the land. The Canaanites were not innocent in any form, and God commanded them to be wiped out as peoples as judgement, including the children who were being raised in idolatry to worship false gods.

Something important to note is that God is the one who sets the terms of engagement. He did not allow the people of Israel to extend beyond their borders and wage war on anyone for any reason and He provided mercy to the Gibeonites by preventing their destruction (even though they deceived Joshua and the leaders of Israel). God does not allow human beings to take it upon themselves to kill whoever they wish, whenever they wish, for whatever reason they wish, and even the command of God to take the land of Canaan was to accomplish a particular task for a particular purpose in history, and was done justly as both a fulfilled promise to the people of Israel as well as a punishment for the peoples of the land that rejected Him as their God and worshipped idols and false gods.

So to repeat, God is just in all He does and owes no human being anything, even life, beyond what He has promised. He is free to take the lives of any of His creations as He sees fit, and human beings are not to break the 6th commandment by unjustly taking the lives of any other humans, including children.

I'm sure that's fallen on deaf ears, because you still pretend to be outraged by God's ability to do as He wills with His creations, even though you have rejected any rational basis for making moral judgements. You have no right to condemn anything as objectively immoral, as you seem to be doing, since in your worldview you reject the notion of objective morality. You accuse me of being sick and morally depraved even though I have a consistent basis to make moral judgements while you make moral judgements without the rational ability to do so. You adhere to an incoherent worldview that you are utterly incapable of acting consistently within, and it highlights the irrationality of your thinking.

The same place as everyone else.

Joe Biden has chosen his road, and I have chosen mine. I pray for sinners (including Joe Biden).

Regardless, Jesus rose from his grave. He's alive. Today I will gather with my parishioners at Easter Holy Mass to honor, worship, and love Him. My voice will mingle with literally thousands of others as we, with one voice and one heart, praise the resurrected and living God.

I want to honor Him, and plead with Him to have mercy on us. OMG the poison that is rising from the abyss of hell.

A reminder. Next Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday. In the leadup to Mercy Sunday? Divine Mercy Novena which began on Good Friday - at 3:00 pm to be exact. Don't worry if you missed a couple of days - start the Novena anyway. You can find the Novena on Youtube. God is patient.

I myself was privileged to witness a dramatic death bed conversion directly tied to the recitation of the Divine Mercy Chaplet. A Divine Mercy Chaplet said in the presence of person undergoing the agony (and it was agony) of death.

Before the Chaplet she was suffering much, shortly after we recited the Chaplet she gathered all the strength she had left, sat up in her bed and looking beyond the confines of her hospital room, blurted out,"I choose God". Then she collapsed, slipped into peace and calm and crossed over to the other side the next day. I hope she remembered me when she came into his Kingdom. God's love and mercy is unfathonable.

God is good, all the time.

Happy Easter to my fellow Tigerdropping Posters.
