In this essay, I have decided to explain and evaluate the divine command theory (DCT). The divine command theory focuses on the conception that God’s commandments are the foundation of ethical choices (Holt, T 2008).

His behavior showed how his faith and love for God was truly holy, because he even began forgiving those who were taking his life while in the action of his stoning.

instance, although John goes on about the miracles, he also includes the scene of Jesus washing his Apostles' feet before the last supper. In the text, it is possible to see a little bit about what life was like in John's time. The frequent use of stoning and the sheer brutality of the crucifixion and death of Jesus show just how violent and potentially dangerous life was then. Women's role and status in society can be seen as quite low. Anytime Jesus talks to a woman, they are first taken aback…

In foreign countries children are constantly put in danger of being blown up or shot repeatedly to death. Why are these children put in so much danger you may ask. The answer is that foreign countries and revolutionary groups often let children join their armies.

When these children are captured and taken to be put on trial for their crimes a great debate arises. Some people say…

Iranians There were several things that I found interesting about Iranians. The first one according to the book was adultery is considered a great sin, and his harshly penalized. Cases of adultery are punishable with death by stoning (Hennon &Wilson, 268). I think that is harsh and cruel thing to do to a person because he or she committed a sin.

The winner of the lottery, after she is chosen, chooses to stand up and claim the unfairness of the lottery. Jay Yarmove says about her new…
