Law of Human nature
this chapter talked about the moral law being a standard. It talked about how every one knows certian things to be wiithin the moral law and certian things are immoral. One of the big things we discussed is whether the moral law is above God or not. Some stated that God did not create the moral law, otherwise everything he did would be considered moral. This could cause problems because then God could actually not be very moral at all, but he is just the only standard by which we can judge the morality of things. According to the Bible, God acts within the moral law. He is holy, and cannot sin. another interesting thing though is that in the Bible it does say that God created the law. The issue comes when you think about how can we know God to be holy if he can do anything he wants and it would be considered morally right. I personally believe that God created the moral law and told us what was right and what was wrong. That way we could see that there are no contradictions, and that God acts within this moral law. Its hard though to know the truth because it is true that Cain was charged before the law was made. God also destroyed the earth with a flood because of it's sin before the law was made. So is the moral law above God? I don't know to be honest with you. If it is then where did it come from? who decides whether this is right or wrong. Are we saying that god is not the ultimate authority? Maybe we'll know when we meet him in heaven. He'll have eternity to explain it.
