[QUOTE="shearwater, post: 95051, member: 6123"] Shearwater ji, [I]I must appologise for my ignorance. I do not know Dallas Willard but it would be a nice name for a TV weatherman[/I]. [B]Check out his bio at <www.dwillard.org>[/B] [B]It will be predicated on the fact that values change over time because of misuse or neglect, and then disappear. Dallas explores all the iterations of how we came to the point where moral values have disappeared in our culture. Let me just cite some examples. America use to be a country where everyone regarded Sunday, as a holy day and refrained from buying and selling because of the Ten Commandments which say, "Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. The seventh day is holy." That value in American culture has disappeared.[/B] From a secular and sociological standpoint, values are what they are because they are defined within a subcultural context. In other words existentialism is the only value that holds which mean every man does what he is right or expedient for himself. The Bible put it this way. [B]"Every man did what was right in his own eyes.[/B]" Bringing that into American culture we see this everywhere, particularly within political groups. If people do not like a law that allows women to abort babies, they bring in a new law that changes that so that a women can abort a baby for just about any reason, up until birth when it is "partial birth abortion." That violates another commandment, "You shall not commit murder." Let me ask you some questions regarding this. 1. Are moral values universal,cultural or dogmatically religious? [B]Values are proscribe within subcultures and therefore are not universal. I believe that moral values are universal because God is the same everywhere and in every culture.[/B] 2. Do different religions have different moral values and what happens if and when they clash? [B]Every culture has its own set of values and different religions have different moral values. These values indeed do clash and sometimes explosively as Islam versus Judaism.[/B] 3. Is there or should there be a compromise? If there is, then does that change the religious values which were based on moral values of a person?[B] There should be a point on which differing religions can disagree agreeably.[/B] [B]This was demonstrated in Jesus' life since he was approachable by everyone, including tax collectors, sinners, prostitutes and Samaritans which at that time were hated by the Jews.[/B] [B] Jesus demonstrated that the moral values held by the Pharisees of his time were based on the [I]traditions of men[/I] and not on God's laws which Jesus held were condensed into one statement. "You shall love ten Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. Additionally you shall love your neighbor as yourself.[/B] 3. Are moral values human values irrespective of a person being a religious or an atheist? [B]Moral values are human values of course, but originate with principles set down by God, i.e. the ten commandments delivered by Moses at Mt. Sinai. Sometimes atheists may be quite moral while at the same time not believing in a deity. But with God that is not the issue. The fact that they may deny God and as a consequence of that repudiate another's belief system will indicate that they have violated another of God's commandments . . .
