You can't be moral and hurt anyone including ones self. I there something in your question I missed?
Wow that question was hard to read. There are two great schools of thought. 1) The "rights" approach, invented by Immanuel Kant."Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law.
" Which is more or less a better wording of the golden rule. By this framework it is not okay to torture for this reason, because they could torture you at the same time for the same reason. This law you try to write is not universal.
2) Utilitarianism. This framework works differently.It says the morale action is the one that results in the most good. This is normally what a person uses when making decisions.
Most times it says torture is wrong since nothing of value is gained. But if for some reason it was for the greater good, then torture is morally right. (perhaps the terrorist has the disarm code to a nuke or something.
) Your example, probably still no, but it would have to be considered on a case by case basis.
No it isn't but in the case of the christians I guess they think their God is in favor of it.
Your grammar is occluding your thought projection. Again, please to try...
Your question is quite clear, and it is a very good question. Your clarifying points are hard to follow, though. I don't understand them, so I won't address them.No, it is not morally okay to torture someone because he/she refuses to accept the offer of eternal life.
However, although the church teaches that this is what happens, this is a doctrine of men and not of God. God had two children who lived in a garden and with whom He enjoyed fellowship and love. He provided everything for them, including the ability to choose to love As children sometimes do, they disregarded They wanted to "make it on their own," "have their own knowledge" rather than just believing that the things HE showed them were right and good.
As a good Father, God knew that s children would have to discover for themselves that they were wrong. There comes a time that you have to let go even though you know how badly your children will fall and fail, and how much it's going to HURT to have to watch them. Naturally, God does not allow his children to inflict any ETERNAL damage on one another, but He does allow them, for the most part, to inflict whatever temporal damage they will.
He can make it all right in the end, and He will. Meantime, we are growing up. Some are saying that they refuse to grow up (the lost boys?
), but in the end everyone will grow up and everyone will realize that Dad was right after all, and EVERYONE will come home. The further we travel in the wrong direction, the harder our lives will be (that's what hell is). What's more, the further we go away from the further and harder will be the journey back (that's also what hell is.
) In the end, though, God will GET what every loving parent wants. He will get s children back in love and fellowship. ALL of them.
All will be healed; all will be restored; all will be welcomed home. For some, who are cluelessly lost, He will seek and carry them home (the Good Shepherd). To some, who have simply been passed over and fallen away through no active rebellion, She (the woman who lost her coin) will sweep the house and clean and clean until she finds them.
And for others, who have taken their inheritance and spent it on sinful living in rebellion against He will wait, scanning the hillsides until He sees them returning, and then run out to greet them, place a ring on their fingers and a robe on their shoulders (the Father of the prodigal son). But whatever the reason for the loss, the Father will do justice to s Son and He WILL be made whole from the loss of He will get them ALL back as beloved, willing, loving, magnificent and joyous children of the House of YHWH. The thief will not prevail, and no one will spend eternity in torment.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
