Loving others

Here is something I read on Facebook.

Loving others

by Diana

We add to the worlds chaos and division when we behave like we are easily offended and full of judgement. Christ calls us to carry an unjust cross the same way He did. We can show mercy, love and grace because God has shown us mercy, love and grace. We are set apart as children of the light, in this way, that we can handle persecution and offence and be humble rather than proud.

The Euthyphro dilemma

Plato wrote of a conversation between Socrates and a man named Euthyphro in which this question was raised: Does God command us to do things because they are good or are they good because God commands them?   Many people feel that either answer creates a problem.  If God commands us to do things because they are good that implies that there is a standard of goodness independent of God to which he must conform.  If the things God commands are good because he commands them then good and evil exist only because of God’s arbitrary decision to call certain thing good and others evil.  This problem is known as the Euthyphro dilemma.

You shall be careful therefore to do as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Deuteronomy 5:32

God doesn’t simply say we must obey but warns about turning to the right or to the left.  That is because there are two opposite ways in which we can disobey each command.
