" Perhaps the issue
of Christian Ethics is not all that complicated. The present furor and
emphasis of ethicists, etc. may be a sign of man's disobedience and lack
of
knowledge of Who God truly is. "
I think I'll have to disagree, my friend. At least it is not
uncomplicated to me.
At age 64, with a physics education (MS), a physics and computer science
career behind me, I returned to college to take a couple of courses I'd
missed. "Introduction to Philosophy" was a snap -- I really learned a lot
and, while I'd hardly feel qualified to teach the subject, I felt I had
a decent handle on the basics.
Then I took "Ethics," from the same professor, a dedicated lifelong
Christian, by the way. After the course, I've continued reading. I used
to have some very clear positions on a lot of issues -- the reason they
were clear is that I'd never studied them seriously. Abortion, homosexual
acts, cloning, etc. etc. From having "the answers" on these, and other
issues, I came to realize I did not yet even have the right questions!
Well -- that's how I see it from here, anyway.
