Answer 1

I think you could line up the presidents of every seminary on the planet and ask this question and not come up with a conclusive answer.

Answer 2

God's moral laws pertain to the commands he gave us telling us how to have a relationship with Him( the first 4 commandments) and How to treat other humans (the last six commandments.)
See Exodus 20:2-17 the balance of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy are the balance of the health, ceremonial, and religious rules and regulations.

God's natural law pertain to how our world and the creatures on it
survive.

You really need to get into reading the Bible for this particular class.

Answer 3

God's moral laws are those laws that extend or are "rooted" if you will, in his character. These are laws such as "justice", "love", "equality", "kindness" and so forth.

Natural laws would those laws that God CREATED or sent into motion some finite time ago. All the studies of science deal here, physics, chemistry, biology etc. All these disciplines seek to discover more of what you might call God's "natural laws".

The key here is that nature was created, morality was not. Moral laws exist in the very nature of God. Creation however had a beginning a finite time ago.

Hope that helps

Answer 4

Both the moral and natural laws fall under the greatest commandment.

To love one another as yourself.

Do this and all the laws will take care of themselves.

This is the answer I would give my teacher.

Love is both moral and natural.

Answer 5

Natural Law

- Love thy God the Father

Moral Law

- Love thy neighbor

Answer 6

See the ten commandments for the moral law and Sir Isaac Newton for natural laws...They reflect the creator as seen in scripture...Newton was a big fan of the Bible.

Answer 7

god has no laws or morality save that which the humans who created him gave to him.

Answer 8

Morals. Fornication was disgraceful and punishable, especially in cases of engaged persons or married persons (adultery). (Ge 38:24-26; 34:7) Brother-in-law marriage was practiced when a man died without a son. His brother then had the responsibility to take the widow as his wife, and the firstborn of their union would inherit the dead man’s estate and carry on his name.—De 25:5, 6; Ge 38:6-26.Law of Conscience. The Bible shows this results from persons having ‘the law written in their hearts.’ Those not under a direct law from God, such as the Law given through Moses, are shown to be “a law to themselves,” for their consciences cause them to be “accused or even excused” in their own thoughts. (Ro 2:14, 15) Many just laws in pagan societies reflect this conscience, originally placed in their forefather Adam and passed down through Noah.—See CONSCIENCE.

At 1 Corinthians 8:7 the apostle Paul says that lack of accurate Christian knowledge could result in a weak conscience. Conscience can be a good guide or a poor one, depending upon the knowledge and training of the individual. (1Ti 1:5; Heb 5:14) One’s conscience can be defiled and, therefore, can mislead. (Tit 1:15) Some, by constantly going contrary to conscience, cause it to become like insensitive scar tissue, and consequently no safe guide to follow.—1Ti 4:1, 2.OTHER OBLIGATIONS INVOLVING FELLOW CREATURES

(The Law specified that “you must love your fellow as yourself”; Le 19:18. Jesus indicated that this was the second greatest commandment in the Law; Mt 22:37-40)

Respect for property

Stealing was forbidden; compensation was required (Ex 20:15; 22:1-4, 7)

Wrongful desire for property and possessions belonging to one’s fellowman was forbidden (Ex 20:17)

Toward alien residents: they were not to be mistreated (Ex 22:21; 23:9; Le 19:33, 34; De 10:17-19; 24:14, 15, 17; 27:19)

Toward slaves

Hebrew slave was released in seventh year of his (or her) servitude or at Jubilee year, whichever came first. During slavery, to be treated as hired laborer, with consideration (Ex 21:2; De 15:12; Le 25:10)

If man came in with wife, she went out or was freed with him (Ex 21:3)

If master gave him a wife (evidently a foreigner) while he was in slavery, only he went free; if this wife had borne him children, she and children remained property of master (Ex 21:4)

On freeing Hebrew slave, master had to give him gift according to his ability to give (De 15:13-15)

Slave could be flogged by master. (Ex 21:20, 21) If maimed, was given freedom. (Ex 21:26, 27) If slave died under his master’s beating, master could be punished by death; judges would decide the penalty (Ex 21:20; Le 24:17)

Toward animals

If one came upon a domestic animal in distress, he was obligated to help it, even if it belonged to an enemy of his (Ex 23:4, 5; De 22:4)

Beasts of burden were not to be overworked or mistreated (De 22:10; compare Pr 12:10)

Bull not to be muzzled when threshing, so that it could feed on the grain it was threshing (De 25:4; compare 1Co 9:7-10)

A person was not to take both a mother bird and her eggs, thereby wiping out family (De 22:6, 7)

A person was not to slaughter a bull or a sheep and its young on the same day (Le 22:28)

PURPOSES SERVED BY THE LAW

It made transgressions manifest; it showed that the Israelites needed to be forgiven of their transgressions and that a greater sacrifice was required that could really atone for their sins (Ga 3:19)

As a tutor, it safeguarded and disciplined the Israelites, preparing them for the Messiah as their instructor (Ga 3:24)

Various aspects of the Law were shadows that represented greater things to come; these shadows helped righthearted Israelites to identify the Messiah, since they could see how he fulfilled these prophetic patterns (Heb 10:1; Col 2:17)
