    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    “For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more...

    Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?

    So God manipulated reality to prevent Mary's inherent sinfulness from contaminating Jesus? Jesus was basically like a sort of Boy In The Bubble?

    Is Slavery Objectively Immoral?

    Possible answer: Because so many published translations offer it up to be quoted verbatim? 1.) Please cite the translation you're referencing that includes "but" as the first word in Luke 21:33. Thanks. 2.) Please explain how Luke 21:33 is grammatically contingent on Luke 21:32. Thanks. 3.)...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Please substantiate that second assertion. If it is a "serious" cardinal sin, it ought to be as easy as pie to cite the scripture. Are Christians appealing to Zeus as their source of Objective Morality?

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Wait. Does Aristotle's work count as Divine Revelation? Can you substantiate that? Did the Old Testament Israelites have access to Aristotelian Taxonomy when they were drawing up The Good Lord's dietary restrictions or are you introducing a red herring? "Creeping animals" was a separate...

    Is Slavery Objectively Immoral?

    So let me see if I understand this: God freed His Chosen People from bondage in Egypt so that they'd be free to own slaves of their own up in the Promised Land? How does that illustrate that slavery is always wrong? Isn't "always wrong" the very definition of "objectively immoral?" If God...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Honey is not milk. Wise up.

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Actually, what's driving this issue is the paucity of evidence to support the claim that Divine Revelation makes it clear that cannibalism is Objectively Immoral. Mind you, I am not arguing that cannibalism isn't a wretched and thoroughly immoral practice. I'm just not trying to justify my...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    The Humans-Aren't-Kosher objection has no traction whatsoever when one realizes that the milk of humans is perfectly acceptable for human consumption, despite the fact that humans neither have cloven hooves nor chew the cud. And in any event, the scriptures clearly demonstrate that there were...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Actually, Christians are obliged to appeal to the Old Testament when it comes to homosexuality, as Jesus was conspicuously silent on the issue while he was wandering around the Holy Land with his band of fabulous fellow bachelors. Where? Cite the verse. No, you have not. You've insisted...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Exactly. So it'd be disingenuous to imply that the dietary restrictions that apply to animals also apply to humans, correct?

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    What? Are you serious? The Bible is simply crawling with condemnation! What about homosexuality? Doesn't that get thoroughly condemned as "an abomination?" Isn't anything described as a "sin" condemned? Exhibit A. Exhibit B. Exhibit C. And in the case of cannibalism, it would appear that...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Neither do fish. Does it? Please review this. Despite my flippant treatment of the entire issue, I believe that this point merits consideration.

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    So "blood" is a euphemism for "soul?" Does it follow that cows have souls? They certainly have blood. Would you care to substantiate that assertion?

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    So does it follow that it isn't objectively immoral or not? Again: Can a Christian who deems cannibalism as objectively immoral do so via an appeal to divine revelation? If yes, please do so. And be sure to cite your source(s). Not a party you'd want to attend. Q. - Were they...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    In this case, I'm asking why The Law neglects to condemn cannibalism altogether. Given that The Law covers many broad topics (do not covet) and seemingly ridiculous details (do not wear clothes made of diverse fabrics), I don't think it's unreasonable to ask why the consumption of human flesh...

    Is Slavery Objectively Immoral?

    "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." ~ Luke 21:33 ... Certain Christians have made the claim that they've received Objective Morality via Divine Revelation. Typically, Objective Morality is defined as morality that is always true irrespective of a person's own...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    OK. Have at it. Demonstrate that cannibalism is objectively immoral. So to assert (without making appeals to Divine Revelation) that humanity as a whole tends to view cannibalism as evil is a subjective statement? Do practicing cannibals relish the notion of being eaten themselves, or is...

    Why doesn't the Bible condemn cannibalism?

    Certainly, human law doesn't excuse murder if the defense pleads innocence on grounds of Divine Revelation, correct? :::sigh::: Just another example of how society has fallen away from God, right? . . . Edited to add: Given the nature of this thread, I was hoping you'd try to explain the...
