Morality was apply within only a particular tribe’s agreements, and the rightness of action on its collective mood towards addressing other groups, it’s individuated and localized to only particular groupings, and really should have reality within the attendant cultural paradigms who agree with it. But the Israelites had a specific worldview, and they imposed that worldview; that radical new world view was monotheism. The eating off this tree of knowledge of good and bad has caused a moral conflict and tension between Yahweh’s good design for creation. The drama of humanity’s life should revolve not around the search for eternal life, nor preoccupation with immortality; it was not in Yahweh’s design for this kind of drama. It’s the power of moral choice alone that is godlike.

Morality’s about balance and survival, and the methods aren’t as important as the mannerisms in preserving humanity for eons instead of centuries, as humanity is walking in the footsteps of so called ancient civilizations in odious and strange ways. A pop culture where the modus litany puts valuables before values, character, ethic, writes a recipe for ruin. The error is as deep as the nature of man, humanity cannot expect any deliverance from it so long as the nature of man continues the same, and humanity’s natural love of truth almost as depraved as humanity’s natural love of holiness. Humanity has before it the opportunity to become a conscious cooperator, no longer must we be merely unconscious players at the mercy of forces and energies beyond our control. Today we are intelligent enough and conscious enough to see the patterns and cycles that converge to form human destiny. Today humanity can take an active part in molding that destiny and not be simply the unwitting subject of the forces of change. But awaiting humanity is the Day of Yahweh, a popular idea among the Israelites, that on some future occasion, Yahweh would dramatically intervene in world affairs and he would do so on Israel’s behalf. He would lead Israel in victory over her enemies. They would be punished. Israel would be restored to her full and former glory.

Remember those covenants,

Balance? Methods aren't important? Survival?

NO, its all about God, our faith in God, to trust and obey, follow Jesus. That line is bold letters above seems to leave God out of the mix.

True, and it's not really about morality, but about Christ, being born again in Christ and submitting our lives to Him fully. The Word of God stands forever, morality is subject to interpretation and cultural and personal preference.

Reading and studying the Word of God and obeying the Word of God is the only way to know true morality and to live morally.

newnature - I do not wish to discourage a newcomer, but, do you know what you are talking about?

We need main points before the ramble, & where does Yahweh come in Scripture?

Indeed there are several problems here and we should address the roots.

So you deny that God is; based on morality?

Please explain how morality arrived, based on your view of how things began. I will listen and discuss it with you.

Also, Israel did not impose a 'radical new worldview.'. Monotheism was the original worldview. In the beginning, everyone believed in one God.


And the spelling is YHVH, as Josephus said, the Holy Name consisted of four vowels,

Are these vowels?
http://yhvh.name/?w=710
Is there a more authoritative source then this "Robert M. Whiting, the Oriental Institute, the University of Chicago," who the author of the web site I reference cites as an authority. I don't like using secular "authoities" as authorities in purely Biblical areas.

I'm not arguing...I have no clue but, just want to know if YHVH are vowels or consonants or combinations of consonant-vowels?
