Christians: How do your morals differ from God's?

Answer 1

Probably mostly, since the nature of man is sinful and we try to deal with things from a physical sense and not spiritual like God does. We have to choose everyday which one to live in..the flesh or the sprit. That is why Chrisians can so easily give themselves a bad rep. They choose to live in the flesh (in their minds) and not in the sprit.

Answer 2

Depends on what you mean by "morals"...

If by that you mean the moral law handed down by the creator that is referenced repeatedly in the Old and New Testaments, clarified poignantly by Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount, discoursed at length by Paul in his letters, then the moral standard would be the same for everyone, and it is God's standard...

Sadly, the early church cited their BEHAVIOUR as evidence of their faith... The modern church would probably want to avoid drawing such comparisons...

The real question is "How, if it all, do you keep this law?"

The answer for the world would be something like "try hard", "live a 'good'(not defined) life" or "what's a moral law?"

The answer for a Christian ought to be something like Paul writes in Romans 7 and 8 (should be read together), that "try as I might, I cannot do that which I know I ought to, and I am constantly drawn to that which I ought not to be, however, because Christ died for sin, and was resurrected to vindicate his claims of divinity, no condemnation do I dread, as I have received grace through faith in Christ..." AND therefore I owe it to him to be as loving and giving and caring and generous as I possibily can, as I can never repay the debt I owe...

Sadly, the early church actually cited their BEHAVIOUR as being evidence for their faith... I don't think the modern church fares very well in such a comparison...

Answer 3

They are the same. We (Christians) just have to work harder at keeping the morals in check. We live in a world where so many things are accepted that is morally wrong, which is why we have to work harder and stay strong in our morals.

Answer 4

Hi 6000,

In order to answer your question accurately one would have to have knowledge at the level of God. I do not possess that. Some of you other answerers seem to think they do.

I think I can say that with in the scoop of my understanding of the attributes of God, I try to emulate him and follow what I understand of his will to the best of my ability given my imperfections. God has said that his ways are not our ways. I take that as an indication that while we are progressing and gaining experience in this life, our understanding and ability to assimilate information is far from the level of God and as such our moral set is probably infantile compared to his at his level of knowledge and comprehension of the purpose and nature of our lives.

I hope that my moral set is an acceptable subset of that which I will develop as I continue to learn and grow as my Heavenly Father would have me progress in becoming more like him.

Answer 5

The point of being a christian is beleiving in him...and following and doing the things he has done on earth when he was here...one day he will come back...but he said he created us in his own image so we probably have the same morals...

Answer 6

We all fall short from the glory of God, but we still accept His moral standards. We need Jesus to save us, and when we accept His GIFT of eternal life,we also want to do what is good. : )

Answer 7

First God should make clear what his morals are

Answer 8

they don't....we attribute our morals within His objective moral standard.

Answer 9

if you're a true Christian, they shouldn't differ from God's.

Answer 10

They don’t differ at all. The problem is in trying to stay true to them.
