Is Yahweh breaking an objective moral tenet?

I have found few examples of an objective moral tenet but think that, --- the good of the many, outweighs the good of the few, --- to be an objective moral tenet. It seems correct in all situations.

You might disagree with an example where this tenet is not objective or applicable.

Yahweh seems to put the good of the few ahead of the good of the many. Scriptures indicate that the many will end in hell while the few will end in heaven.

In thinking of this, I also thought that Yahweh was breaking another moral tenet by putting his life above his own child’s. He sent Jesus to die instead of stepping up himself, to appease his own wrath against man.

Should fathers put themselves and their lives above their children’s, or should fathers protect their children at all costs?

I know that few like to answer moral questions as we all have a bit of moral coward in us.

Do try to answer both of my questions please.

i think back then, god believe that jesus first, not him. the people might not understand his concept like they did with jesus. maybe, god thought he came down himself being kill before the people understand him.

god forced himself to send down jesus, not choice, by disciple and principle.

My goal is to have as many children as possible in hopes that some don't starve.


No, I absolutely put my life above my kid's life. My kid's life doesn't rate a close third. Both biological sons are doing well. We've done quite a bit (too much in my opinion) to help out kids who are now grown.

So some of them can eat the others...

Do you think God sent Jesus to die? Jesus died a martyr for a belief. Isn't the RC Church coming up with a story (360 years later) about how God sent him to die simply stealing the man's thunder?

The Jesus is the son of god stuff predated the RC church.

Strictly speaking the RC didn't start until about 1054 with the Great Schism.

Just saying.

These sorts of things are why it is essentially to both fully read the bible (first word to last word) as well as study its history (and the history of the christianity), if one wants to be correct (or at least have a basis of fact for one's opinion) when discussing either the bible and/or christianity.

Again... just saying.

The Great Schism refers to the official break of ties between the two already existing Roman churches. Each had their own "Pope," one in Italy and one in Constantinople. They were the Latin church and the Greek church based on the languages they used. They became the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches. The Romans, however, took over Christianity and started defining it to fit their own purposes in 325ad with the First Counsel of Nicaea. The RC church claims it's roots to that time. The idea of Jesus being the Son of God originate with the story of his debate with the Pharisee who is trying to get him to commit the crime of blasphemy. Jesus answers by quoting the Tanakh " We are all son's and daughters of God the Most High" and by referring to himself as the "Son of Man"

While your terminology is off, this is mostly correct.

Yes... though more accurately it was the Emperor Constantine who took over Christianity.

The idea of Jesus being the son of god has numerous justifications, many predating his life. The justifications starts with the old testament prophesies, not new testament discussions with Pharisee.

Of course the idea of a savior/hero/messiah being the son of god goes back even farther as it is a pretty standard mythological motif.

In terms of the origin of Jesus actually being called the son of god, that comes from Paul... Acts if I'm not mistaken. Of course that assumes that Paul was a real person.

Roman Catholic



And... if you continue your Wikipedia research I think you will find that the term "Roman Catholic" came into use in the 16th century.

I didn't learn this from wikipedia, I learned it in school studying early Christianity. It may be true but if you ask a Roman Catholic priest he will say his church started in the 4th Century.

The reason I use wikipedia links in here is because it's free and readily accessible to the reader. If I were to say buy a book that wouldn't be useful. Here's a list if you are interested, these were all part of the syllabi and I still own them.

"The Lost Gospels, The Book of Q and Christian Origins" by Burton L Mack
"The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls, 7th Edition" by Geza Vermes

"The first known use of the phrase "the catholic church" (καθολικὴ ἐκκλησία he katholike ekklesia) occurred in the letter written about 110 AD from Saint Ignatius of Antioch to the Smyrnaeans."

That is from Quote of St Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans (c. 110 AD): "Wheresoever the bishop shall appear, there let the people be, even as where Jesus may be, there is the universal [katholike] Church."

from "The Catholic Encyclopedia" Thurston and Herbert, 1908
