Christians: What do you think about ethics in business and medicine? Why have ethics without God?

Question

where does that come from if not the bible?


Ethics were written about extensively by all the great philosophers,

Even the bible couldn't touch on abortion, yet Aristotle could weigh out the morality of it, whats up with that?

Answer 1

Again another Bible basher who does not know the contents of the Bible. Yes Cloe e the bible is a very ethical book, more than any philosopher set against. The Bible speaks a lot on ethics - but hey do not take it from me - read it and find out what it says before making more ridiculous statements as this one. oops there goes my 10 points for best answer.

Answer 2

God is the specialness and exemption to morals and ethics

sin becomes justified and murder is blessed and sanctioned

if God was about ethics, much of the bible would be removed

but Humanity rather is us holding each other to a High Standard of Honor, respect, love, and common sense and equality

Answer 3

I'm not even sure I understand your question. And I'm not sure you know what you're asking, either. Are you asking, "Why not toss aside business and medical ethics because they don't have anything to do with God?" ???? Not sure what the heck you are trying to say. Anyway, I would say...based on my extremely sketchy understanding of your brilliant question...if there were no business or medical ethics, the world would pretty much stop evolving as we know it and everything would run amuck...even amuckier than it is now. Has much more to do with humanity than religion. But I guess my question in return would be, why do non-believers spend so much time trying to prove believers wrong if they are so sure of their own belief's themselves?? (Just trying to come up with a question to match the brilliance of yours.) OOPS!! Guess I'm not gonna get that 10 spot, either.

Answer 4

Ethics shouldn't stop with business and medicine.
Every one of us should be ethical in our behavior.

The Bible does speak out against those who sacrificed their young to Molech.

Leviticus 20:1-2;
1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Again, you shall say to the children of Israel, Whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that dwell in Israel, that gives any of his descendants to Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

Answer 5

It is because Adam had partook the fruit from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. If all men fell because of Adam, then all men intrinsically has the knowledge of good and evil. Some call it conscience.

Shalom.
