Command

bit questionable. God’s command to kill one’s own son is fundamentally unreasonable given the premise that God is all good, and Abraham’s willingness and lack of objection in obeying him subsequently demonstrates a lack of ethics. One of the first things that should raise some concerns in Abraham’s story is why God would command Abraham to kill Isaac, his only son, who God himself promised to him (Genesis 17:16). Operating on the premise that God is all-good, this command does not seem to be…

There is a prevailing belief that to be religious is to be content with the truth of the Word of God. While I do not contest this, what I would suggest it that the prevalent understanding of the Word of God has been severely limited. The Word is not simply the text itself, but the context surrounding it--the context of its writing, the purpose being addressed, and the relevance of it. All these would require an understanding of the world to be able to situate it properly. In fact, this is…

The word of god says if you had heeded my commands, then you peace would flow like a river. He also states happy are ye that keep my commands. The essence of these words are simply foolishness to the unconverted heart. For those however; who have tasted and seen that god is good it is life unto them. There was a time in my life when i bought into the lies of the enemy. I saw god as being restrictive, his laws too rigid, and his entire government as a fun buster. I thought maybe that god…

you will counter arguments that will either prove or disprove the arguments that were previously mentioned. Throughout this blog, you will find many philosophical methods that pertain to the arguments such as Cultural Relativism, Emotivism, Divine Command…

is shown time and time again throughout the story. Because of this, man is required to rule the machines, in order for them to maintain peace, order, and more. One reason the machines are unfit to rule their own society is, their need for human commands, and in a way human intelligence. One great example of this is when the passage states; ““I can do no more work until warehouse three is unlocked,” it (field-minder) said. “Your duty is to unlock the warehouse every morning. Why have you not…

The book of Joshua picks up right where the book of Deuteronomy left off. The twelve tribes are camped out on the east side of the Jordan River, which lies between Mount Hermon and the Dead Sea. Moses had died, in turn, leaving Joshua in full command of the Israelites. After forty years of wandering through the desert, the Israelites finally have their opportunity to enter into the promise land. Canaan is a land consisting of many hostile groups that really seem to have it out for the Israelites…

Reason and Impartiality. This means that the principle has to have reasons to exist and that everyone must be treated equally within the principle. Five moral theories that do not follow the MCM are Cultural Relativism, Ethical Subjectivism, Divine Command Theory, Natural Law Theory, and Ethical Egoism. The first of these moral theories, Cultural Relativism, claims that because every culture has different views on what is right or wrong, every culture’s views must be equally correct. When…

Detected changes in arterial gas content (CO2 & O2) and subsequent rises in ventilation are modulated by central command mechanism in the hypothalamus (Eldridge, 1994). There are several respiratory feedback mechanisms responsible for communicating with central command—namely—central chemoreceptors due to arterial pressures of CO2 (PCO2), or peripheral chemoreceptor carotid bodies as the result of changes in pH due fluctuating arterial pressures…

Herero Genocide or well called also as Namaqua Genocide was a racial brutal campaign and life extortion that the government of German South-West Africa (modern-day Namibia) enforced against the Herero and Nama people. This very genocide is known to be the maiden genocide of the 20th century. This horrific killing took place between 1904 and 1907. Samuel Maharero was the one who efficiently led the herero people to revolt against the German colonial rule. The german general Lothar Von Trotha…

The field experiment conducted by Hofling et al (1966) which produced surprising results of nurses complying and obeying the orders of doctors to the extent of violating protocol by giving more than acceptable doses of medication provides evidence to the extent at which obedience and submitting to higher authority works in our society. Obedience can be defined as compliance with an order, request or submitting to a higher authority. There are certain conditions that should exist for obedience to…
