Has the RELIGIOUS definition of "morality" changed over time?

Question

Anyone who answers "no" to this question, you're welcome to watch me stone my disobedient son while my slaves cook dinner.

stephen K, I asked a question detailing the history of abortion yesterday.

Answer 1

Yes. It has struggled to keep up with secular moral values, which have always been vast;y superior. Currently relgious beliefs are several centuries out of date -in the case of some religions millenia.

Answer 2

Whose definition? Our Creator Father-Son Jesus Christ's ?
or the varying conceptions of each religionist or religious group over the ages?

From the human viewpoint, morality is still evolving and needs to redefined on ever higher levels of man's augmenting purity and enhanced self-control. We are progressing down here because that is God's will.

On the Eternal Absolute Infinite Paradise Deity levels morality is an unchanging quest given to each of us:

"Be you perfect, even as I AM perfect."

This is our Father-Son's loving injunction-command !

It should be noted that a human child, usually around age six years, when making his or her FIRST moral decision, instantly has the Father's Gift of a Thought Adjusting pure spirit fragment of God (God's will) given within one's mind and a potential new soul then born also.

The best morality is to imitate what you believe our Master Jesus would do for the best outcome of all concerned.

It is also correct that the Christian churches and Spirit-led Individual Christians are called to be "moral policemen" for struggling humanity. If morality goes, the nation soon goes down to destruction also. Count the cost. Count the wars, count the advancing AIDS, etc. You play, you pay.

Peace and progress into All Truth,

Answer 3

Absolutely. Times change. Our perception of morality and life and everything else changes with it. It has nothing to do with religion, though. Non-religious morality changes, too. Non-religious aspects of our being and environment change as well. That said, there are ethical consistencies throughout history, and those are often the morals that matter most. Identify those, such as do not bear false witness and do not murder, and you'll be in good shape, religious or not.

Answer 4

I was gonna say I don't think so... but on the other hand... I think that Jesus has come to bear our punishment and that has changed that about the children being stonned to death... and some people still have slaves they are just paid slightly better and called employess with AWA's... (ooh what am I saying naughty girl)

Answer 5

Without a doubt.

Check the history of abortion and see how the morality has shifted.

Answer 6

The religious definition of "morality" hasn't change.
Our society has degraded and morality standard has dropped, but that does not mean that the religious definition "morality " has changed.

Answer 7

Yes the moral decline is a landslide.

Look at the nonbelivers of 50 years ago, they wouldnt allow half of the things in their housholds as christians do now.

Answer 8

you're top. it is as a results of fact the U. S. is a bully. Who could face as much as the U. S. in the event that they have been accused of being a Terrorist state? Wee would desire to be referred to as a Terrorist state as a results of fact the Tea social gathering used Terror and city hall conferences, threatened Representatives and Senators, referred to as representative and senators vulgar slang words, and Kicked a girl interior the pinnacle at marketing campaign rallies without one arrest. I call that Terrorism, organic and easy.

Answer 9

That's a good point, but I also think that absolute obedience was an important aspect of morality in earlier times which has diminished.

Answer 10

Heck, yes. Christians do all sorts of things that the Jews would consider unclean or immoral, and Christian morals are based upon the Jewish Torah.
