Christian Morality Basics. Derivation of Principles and Definitions.

Morality is that which sustains life.
Life is ordered Existence.

Christ saves through his word (John 5:24).

The word does not come from Paul; it comes from Christ.

Conservatives contradict everything Christ taught based on Paul’s supposedly infallible word.

The Bible is an aggregate put together by humans, which means it is nothing but a historical document. Putting Paul's writing in the Bible does not make it God's infallible word. Only Christ's words qualify as God's infallible word because of who he is.

Christ said his entire purpose was to "testify to the truth" (John 18:37), because truth will set people free (John 8:32). Rationality is how truth is produced and used. (Which is not atonement ending sin on the cross.) Sin—The World's View of it

Christ's central teaching is that humans have a responsibility to solve human problems (Mat 25:31-46)(Luke 10:30-36).

Christ taught personal relationships. Paul did not.

Morality is that which sustains life. Life is ordered existence. Order requires logical relationships between all realities. Rationality and knowledge are required.

Eternal life means people have to get along with each other for eternity. Christ taught how to do that. He taught how to overcome sin through a path of constructivity (Mat 7:14).

Rationality is the basis of life. Sin destroys rationality. The most direct and visible test of sin is absence of rationality.

Sin separates corrupters from objective reality and subjectivizes their existence.

The purpose of material life is to overcome sin. Nothing but truth ends sin. Usually, no purpose for life is assumed in theologies.

Life exists in a reality medium. Sin exists in a force medium. Getting saved is moving out of the force medium and into the reality medium.

Every sin is a sacrifice of life for a noble purpose. The theology of sacrifice is the promotion of sin.

Critical Point: The purpose of material life is to teach a proper relationship to objective reality (called rationality) as the method of overcoming sin. It's a corruption to assume defiance of objective reality is a higher standard, maybe even faith in God. All frauds teach defiance of objective reality as a higher standard.

There are right ways and wrong ways to think. Christ taught the right ways, and people are learning the wrong ways, because satan runs the world.

There have been two basic religions in human history: the religion of sacrifice which says the demons are pleased by destruction of the innocent, and morality which says concern for the victims is the path to life. Christ corrected the satanic religion of sacrifice only to have Paul reinstitute it as the supposed purpose of Christianity. What Christ Said

Conservatives promote bigotry, elitism, selfishness and domination. The result is a war against the lower classes. In Christianity, Paul’s religion justifies that standard in total contempt for everything Christ taught.

Conservative Christians say Christ saves, while they get all of their information from Paul—all of it, none from Christ. Yet Christ said it is only through his truth that anyone is saved (John 5:24).

They rationalize their end point by starting with the claim that the Bible is the infallible word of God, while it has Paul’s writing within it. Fraud. The Bible is an aggregate of writings put together by a bunch of frauds.

1.  Objectivity is essential to overcome and avoid sin. Subjectivity in that area promotes sin. Sin is promoting subjectivity in the wrong places and wrong ways. You don't have a right to decide whether to sin; that's why morality is not subjective. See Science and Religion.

2.  Morality is not about pleasing anyone; it's about overcoming corruption in one's own mind.

3.  Sin is caused by stimulus-response mechanisms which develop in the mind related to pride, jealousy, selfishness, bigotry, etc. It is a way that seems right but leads to death (Prov 14:12), because psychological conditioning does that.

4.  Elitism and status are driving forces of sin. People are taught by implication and example to seek them. Christ taught how to be moral; Paul did not. Quoting Paul

5.  Being saved (or born again) is not an event; it's a process of overcoming sin. (Mat 7:14)

6.  Faith does not save without a path (Mat 7:14), because sin destroys faith, and overcoming sin is a difficult and slow process. Lightning certainly didn't do it for Paul.

7.  Humane poverty with moral concerns is the clearest form of the path to life which is hard to find and follow (Mat 7:14). Such a path creates constructivity, which corrects the subconscious forces which drive sin.

8.  At the end, the saved are separated from the unsaved on the basis of good deeds (who fed the hungry,etc.) and nothing else (Mat 25:31-46).

9.  Fundamentalists claim that fixing God through atonement was the answer, and now he blesses their sin and makes their words infallible. They preach only to convince people not to do the good works which Christ taught. Blood is not Atonement
10.  Corrupt behavior creates reactions and patterns in minds which are very difficult to fix. Paul said the fix is automatic; Christ said it is not. (The Basic Problem) Behavior creates the problem; only behavior can fix the problem.

This web site derives the basics of morality and philosophy starting with definitions and applying them to the more complex questions. (Method of Logic)

The basics are abstract. Authorities do not understand the abstractions, so they omit them from their theology. Yet the abstract basics are the foundation of the subject. All else depends upon them.

Abstract means not perceivable, even though the origins are in objective reality. Mathematics is an example of abstract, objective reality. Morality can be studied like mathematics because its origins are objective. A simple test is to look at criminal codes, because they take up the moral questions which are so obvious that even atheist accept them.

The most basic error in religion is to subjectivize morality assuming God arbitrarily creates it. In that view, sin is disobedience to God. But obedience to God cannot be properly evaluated, and it turns out to be a propagation of errors and sanctification of corruption.

Obedience to God was the pretext for crucifying Christ. He was supposedly breaking the Ten Commandments.

That's why Christ said people are supposed to try to understand morality (Mat 15:10, Mark 7:14). Understanding is aligning the mind upon objective realities.

Sin would exist even if there were no God to correct the problem, because morality is objective. This means sin is developed as patterns and reactions of destructivity, while virtue is learned as constructive behavior. Christ taught the objectivity of morality by showing through parables and examples how it applies to all of life (Lk 10:30-37). (Objective means originating outside of a person's mind—subjective, within a mind.)

If obedience could define morality, there would be no way to know the difference between satan and God. The difference is obvious, because morality is objectively defined.

Theology is not used as a source of truth; it is used to rationalize corruption. Christ words and the lessons of life are the only major sources of truth in Christianity.

This web site describes the objective origins of morality. Objective is what conservatives call absolute. Absolute is the wrong term to use. It implies total knowledge, which humans never have. Objective means humans are not the source, which is the more correct term for truth and morality.

Objective means that principles of morality which Christ taught should have been visible to humans, if they had the wisdom to recognize them. After being pointed out, there should be no question about them.

			Christ described the path to life based on morality. Paul replaced the truth with a religion based on sacrifice.
