...If Sin is transgression against the law of God, unless the existence of God can be proven, the existence of sin cannot be either.... Earth has a physical existence thus can be proven; morality does not, thus cannot...

The existence of sin cannot be proved

Are you serious???

As I've constantly said, morality only exist in your thoughts; they don't have a physical existence. Now just because they exist in thoughts, this doesn't prevent people from acting on those thoughts and making those moral actions a reality.

lol !
really wrong VS wrong !

Classic.
I am not defining the difference Ken, YOU ARE.
You are the one claiming subjectivity.

My view is they are the same; both subjective judgments we make about human actions we experience.

So, your view is that WHAT is good is subjective and that there is such a thing as good, is also subjective?
Id that correct?

Sounds like you are confusing "Evil" with "Sin". You do know the difference do you?

1... confusing "Evil" with "Sin". You do know the difference do you?

James 1:15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Sin defined from Thayer's Dictionary of NT Words

ἁμαρτία - hamartia

Definition:
1) equivalent to Strong's #264
1a) to be without a share in
1b) to miss the mark
1c) to err, be mistaken
1d) to miss or wander from the path of uprightness and honour,to do or go wrong
1e) to wander from the law of God, violate God’s law, sin
2) that which is done wrong, sin, an offence, a violation of the divine law in thought or in act
3) collectively, the complex or aggregate of sins committed either by a single person or by many

How would anyone know what sin is that produces death, physical death,spiritual death, relationship death, depressional death, mental death, etc and etc unless God defined what sin is first midst folks like yourself who live sunjectively doing whatever you please, lying, cheating, seeking to destroy peoples lives - all justified by what you physically think... as right>

2-...morality has a physical existence?

People lost in sin can kill you, rob, you, destroy you so yes morality has physical existence outside ourselves. We need intervention from our creator to help us shed subjective morals that we kill ourselves with.

Exo 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying:

Exo 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before Me... 4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;
Exo 20:5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, Exo 20:6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Exo 20:7 "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

Exo 20:8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Exo 20:12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
Exo 20:13 "You shall not murder (OT word meaning is premeditated murder for sport and pleasure and fulfillment of lust)
Exo 20:14 "You shall not commit adultery.
Exo 20:15 "You shall not steal.
Exo 20:16 "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Now, realistically, why would human beings say adultery is wrong and lying is wrong when doing these feel so subjective good and all the time justified as good to do?

3-As I've constantly said, morality only exist in your thoughts; they don't have a physical existence. Now just because they exist in thoughts, this doesn't prevent people from acting on those thoughts and making those moral actions a reality.

Do you realize that you just contradicted yourself? Are you a physical being or an illusion?

People make there own subjective morals to justify their actions. Human beings are sexual stimulated and justify adultery, fornication, sexual perversions, as okay and right and in no way want a morality that says - do not commit adultery or even murder... or even honoring one's parents ... because old people are a drain on the state and families so just kill them off.

People justify stealing - defrauding - or bearing false witness - character assassination... they would never say these are wrong... because the ends justify the means for revenge...or self gain .. or materialism...

They would never write such things, How do I know, because you would never write these with your nihilist point of view.

Fact is, you will die Ken, mentioned this before, and you will stand before God and give an account for your life - you own subjective morality. Jesus came to save the lost and restore us back to God's plan for humanity. He offers choice - in this God is Just. You cannot find fault in that can you - allowing people to decide what they want to do even if it produces death. Ken you admitted long while back how you rejected people, lied, stole, abandoned, neglected - etc- people.

How did you justify this - you think you will not be held to account?

Again you err. You have another god before your created in your own image and likeness and that god is yourself.You serve this god of self and justify doing it and demand all bow and worship your god of self. You will die and you can be forgiven of these things and you do know how by now...

You are not god. you are not wise. your morality is flawed and leads to death in so many ways in relationships all the way till the day you cease breathing and enter into eternal judgment. You bring death and by your writings it fits the category of subjective morality premeditated murder of ideas, hopes, dreams, etc and etc. You are guilty of sin and it leads to such death. Jesus paid the price to escape this death and you do know how that is.

God created, we live in that creation, this creation is no accident, it is too mathematically precise to be an accident, the odds are against an random accident. All creation points to a just creator who lets people make their own choices and then provides a way back, by choice, to be free from sin and death we made on this earth as evidenced empirically by how we think, reason, and lived our lives...

Have a nice day and return to Jesus before it is too late.

Id that correct?

*What is Good? What we call “good” is a judgment we make concerning the actions we experience. These judgments are subjective.

*Is there such a thing as “good”? These judgments (whether we label them good, bad, or something else) are just thoughts. Thoughts only exist in our heads; they don’t have a physical existence, they only exist in the context of human thought.
Hope that clears things up.

[PaulSacramento]

The issue I see is that if there is no "good", then there can be no "what is good"? ( since you don't have an objective to be subjective about, like pain for example).
So, there is no good,period and by default no wrong or bad, so there is, by default, no such a thing as human rights for example, you agree?

If “good” is a series of thoughts, thoughts are real to the person who has them, they just aren’t real to everyone else. Thoughts don’t have a physical existence

Human rights are laws of the land. Laws of the land are objective

The difference is; Evil is people saying something is wrong. Sin is God saying something is wrong. Often they are the same, but not always.

Now, realistically, why would human beings say adultery is wrong and lying is wrong when doing these feel so subjective good and all the time justified as good to do?

You are describing actions; not morality. Again morality doesn’t have a physical existence. If you disagree, show me where it exist.

Human rights are laws of the land. Laws of the land are objective

You do realize that if good is subjective then so are the "laws of the land" since they are based on what is good.

No, laws of the land are voted on based on what the majority of law makers’ subjectively deem fair. This is different than what you or I may consider “good”.

But Ken, good IS subjective so regardless of the majority rule, the laws, which is based on what the majority subjectively decide is good ( which is already subjective), must therefore be SUBJECTIVE and not objective.
Because while you can get subjective ( what is) form Objective ( That is) you can NOT get objective from subjective.
It quite simply is not logical and rational.

Of coarse it does.

Laws are written down. As the above definition alludes, you can verify the facts concerning a law by looking them up. This makes laws objective.

I disagree! Subjective beliefs and ideas result in objective laws all the time! A group of people will come together bringing their various subjective views and opinions and agree on a single objective idea; usually by compromising a little on their subjective ideas for the greater good of creating something objective that can be agreed upon by all, and enforced. This is how laws are made in a democracy.
