Baited and hooked: Since spreading the "word" is a moral obligation regardless of it being commanded by the..

Question

...Bible, it proves that morals exist outside of God. If it is your duty to try to save people with the truth (as you see it, even Christians) it proves that morals exist outside God (who is imaginary). AND, since, if we can assert our own morals as existing outside God they also can exist despite God, we can challenge God (the fictional character) about his actions in the Bible, such as mass murder and genocide. What do you think?

Previous question where the moral obligation of spreading the word was (debatably) established:

Answer 1

If it wasn't mentioned in the bible, it wouldnt be an obligation.
It would still happen though, because any type of organized group's purpose is to grow and recruit people...armed forces, kkk, neonazis, masons, etc.

The question is, can there be a God without a bible. Yes, therefore there can be morals outside the bible, and still be influenced by God.

Answer 2

There were accounts in the Bible that says God had instructed the Jews to kill all the enemies including children, women and their livestocks. In our modern day lingo, it is genocide or mass murder. Quite contrary to "Thou shalt not Kill" commandment.
Enemies of the Jewish nation have a different God/s before, not like their present enemies today whose God came from the same source as the Jewish have.
If that was so, would you not think that the otherside or the enemy is not also planning to annihilate all the Jews if the opportunity falls into their hands? Remember, on early Biblical time, Isarel is building up their nation and whoever is in that stage will relentlessly pursue anyone who will stop their lives from growing. We are still talking of morality here but a nation at war with all his more equipped neighbors sorrounding him even up to now, will he not use his power to protect himself? If you think you are out numbered, would you not consider totally eliminating some few so that there would be an even confrontation with the remaining? Why do you think Israel always strike back inflicting more than what have been taken from them? It is numbers game my friend. Do not challenge The Bible as if it does not know what it has written? God is more than a fiction.

Answer 3

You didn't prove that morals exist outside of GOD.

It is my duty to love you and love my wife; it is my calling to spread the good news of the Gospel and the Truth of a loving God.
Try again, your logic is faulty.

Answer 4

Humans made up morals - I don't see the problem.

The moral code only exists when you don't know right from wrong.

A truly good person does not realize they are being moral.

~ Eric Putkonen

Answer 5

I guess your "word" is that God does not exist, but is somehow responsible for mass murder and genocide. Contradictory again.

Answer 6

All morals come from God. "Love thy neighbor as thyself".

I want to be saved, therefore I want everyone else to be saved.

Check, and mate.
