What Is Morality, and is it Absolute?

[Derf]

To anyone here on TOL:

How would morality apply to the perfect Creator God?

morality /mə-răl′ĭ-tē, mô-/

noun​

1. The quality of being in accord with standards of right or good conduct.
   "questioned the morality of my actions."
2. A system or collection of ideas of right and wrong conduct.
   "religious morality; Christian morality."
3. Virtuous conduct.

P.S.

Deut 32:3-4 (AKJV/PCE)​

(32:3) Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. (32:4) [He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his ways [are] judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right [is] he.​

You just cited a verse that says how morality applies to the perfect Creator God. He is "without iniquity". How can anyone be judged "without iniquity" unless a moral standard is applied to him?

God IS the standard.

 

[Derf]

God IS the standard.

But He gives His standard verbally, and if there's some way that He can be said not to be iniquitous, then He would have to be consistent with the standard He has given in words, or He would be a divided kingdom that cannot stand. This is the argument against higher Calvinism that says God WANTS people to sin.

 

[Right Divider]

But He gives His standard verbally,

Duh... how else would He do it?

and if there's some way that He can be said not to be iniquitous,

Double-negatives are a bad way to communicate.

then He would have to be consistent with the standard He has given in words,

Yes, God IS the standard what He uses to describe the standard.

or He would be a divided kingdom that cannot stand.

Blah...

This is the argument against higher Calvinism that says God WANTS people to sin.

That's from left field.

God is not judged against Himself.
