The problem with any type of moral codes is that they're either subjective (utilitarianism, ethic of reciprocity) and are a fraction away from moral relativism in any case or "all encompassing" (religious morals/categorical imperatives etc.) which state that in any situation whatsoever, something is wrong. The Bible says that "Thou shalt not kill", which is a categorical imperative, meaning that under no circumstances are you allowed to kill, even for self-defence. How does that sound then?

[PowerVine]

Actually the Bible doesn't say thou shalt not kill. The more accurate translation of the Hebrew verb ratsach is murder as you will find if you read something other than the 1611 King James Version. (Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy 5:17) I am sure you know that self-defense is permitted and capital punishment is actually commanded in the Bible.

[lexagon]

The Bible has at least 2 different moral codes which are logically mutually exclusive (ethic of reciprocity/Mosaic law). The point is that even if there were a god that had some opinion about morality, it would be subjective as long as there was a single person that disagreed since there is no objective way of determining which position would be correct. The only argument would be that "if you don't do as I think is best I'll chuck you in hell" which is not a rational argument, it's a threat.

As I am sure you know the Old Testament contains ceremonial rules (laws) for the Jews to prepare a people for the coming of Christ. The ceremonial rules were done away with when Christ came. However, the moral code of the OT was carried over into the New Testament established by Christ. God's moral code does not change. His commands are always for our own good. God does not threaten us with hell, he offers redemption from the consequence of our own actions.

I believe that God created space/time and matter/energy (as the Bible says). Therefore, God must exist outside of our space/time dimensions. He has no beginning or end and is not confined to any one location as we are.

[PowerVine]

If God did not exist, I would not be here (and neither would you) so the answer to your hypothetical question is no.

My friend still you can not answer simple questions, you must be honest and ask yourself why?

I never said there would be a consequence for not believing life was seeded from mars ( as if being honest you would know as I did not say there would be) but there will be if Allah is or one of the other gods. You are betting all eternity on one God, by your own logic this would be a great risk.

[PowerVine]

What are the possible consequences of my not believing that we were seeded here by life on Mars?

[PowerVine]

You are showing that you need some lessons in theology. The book of Genesis says nothing about apples. The sin was rebelling against God in an act of disobedience. Satan told them they would be like God if they ate the forbidden fruit. Atheists today are trying to be like God by putting themselves in the place of God. There is no higher authority than me, so I can do whatever I want to do. God redeemed us by becoming one of us and showing us how to live and then dying in our place.

[justbekindtooall]

You write "He exists outside of our time and space dimensions. "

I respect you believe that, if you are saying this is a fact I do look forward to you proving this.
