How did mankind even exist up to the point before the Bible and God, if you think morality was started through Jesus? What about cultures that have never heard or read the Bible that live and exist in peaceful communities?

In my opinion, morality is a matter of how YOU view it. It is a matter of opinion. Not anyone Else's opinion but your own. You may do something that others think is immoral, but there are others who see what you did as moral. Because someone says something you did is immoral, doesn't make it true. Your morals are your own. It is up to you to decide what is morally correct, not society. Not Religion

God has given us all a concience, so we all know what is right and what is wrong. MOrality didnt come through Jesus... it started way back in the old testament, in the garden. The first set of "rules" for morality were the ten comandments, in my opinnion. When the christians are raptured, i think there will be very little morality, even though some people will be saved during the tribulation.

Morality cannot exist in the absence of God. That is why atheist are morally bankrupt.
God can and does reveal Himself through nature and natural laws but it is not a complete revelation. But once you have heard the Gospel God will hold you responsible. Where are you headed?

morality is a concept that is found in the Bible, but not exclusively. morality simply means adhering to a moral code. the Bible is a moral code, but not exclusively. your question also presumes that mankind existed before God, which i personally do not believe in. hope this answers your question!

hi :}
every living soul KNOWS what is right and wrong ,it is instinctual.
every soul kNOWS that which makes others feel bad because it makes them feel bad also .morality is in all religions and all souls ,i sometimes think the less one KNOWS of the world the more moral they are to those around them .
only through examples of evil and feeling they need something [greed]which truly is taught in the modern civilization ]is why we all are in such a mess .we are taught to be greedy .to want more ,it is obvious through all the tv ,movies ,schools friends ,work ,more is better ,or more makes you a better person [so untrue ].
but each soul knows what is good for them is also good for their neighbor ........it is a cop out to think if your a certain religion then of course you follow moral codes ,,,,,,no not true sadly ...

I think its more along the lines of morality and God, christianity isnt what made men moral, it was through the divine grace of God.

Morality can come from a variety of sources--like a social contract, for example. An example of that would be treating other people the way that you would want to be treated, providing that those other people do you the same favor.

Why not? Christianity seems to do fine without morality. If we could just get people the even consider what the moral precepts are and why they exist without trying to terrorize by Godfear we would be miles ahead.

I certainly have contemplated this many circumstances too and that i'm happy somebody shares the belief. it fairly is in certainty real that crime point may be decrease to to the belief of he will and maximum suitable doom. human beings needless to say have a emotions for what they do. some extra beneficial than others, yet i've got self assurance faith is between the main serious issues in a solid government. No ask your self our government is failing. human beings do no longer flow to church and for this reason sin like being lazy, having intercourse thank you to many circumstances overpopulating the country, and welfare. The record is going on and on. So, it incredibly is kinda iffy and extra of various values and survival instincts; even nonetheless, you will see the numbers in sinning are becoming and human beings who can artwork nevertheless desire government tax money. HAVING RELIGON BRINGS communities under ONE MORALE GOD THAT MAKES OTHERS BE avoided via THEIR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN in the event that they SIN MAKING IT UNDESIREABLE TO SIN.
