This sounds like you are saying that those that believe in god do not know the difference between right and wrong, that they need to be told what is right and what is wrong.

I guess some people are born knowing right from wrong and others need a how to be a better person book.

[quote=warrior]Are not those cannibals descendants of Adam, Noah? Do they not live in a world where the rocks cry out?

All covered in Roman's chapter 1.

About all I can say about that is if the cannibal didn't have the written word nor had ever even heard the name of Jesus how was he supposed to know.
If he is judged on natural law, perhaps he would still be obeying his conscience if he ate the stranger and not a friend or relative. In other words he did the best with what he had ?

You see no harm? So someone say's they can sleep with someone of the same sex not repent of it and not call it a sin and it's okay?

He's still accountable.

Nobody is born knowing right from wrong. That doesn't even make logical sense. Morals are what you are taught.

Surely you don't believe he is accountable for something he doesn't even know ? How just is this god you speak of ?

All speculation . No meat on the bone facts at all. Might as well say he lived with the africans and rode a white elephant because someone a long time ago said so. I am sure the story serves some end game for some reason.

This post has proven my point over and over again. Man can't agree on anything that has to do with religion. Every body says they are right and every one else is wrong. I think we are all going to be surprised in the end.

I've been doing some reading in particular about Jesus and His miracles. While I was searching for the one miracle where Jesus was working for a famed grape juice company making grape juice, I ran into some articles that think Josephus got a lot wrong about the Essene's and some of the scrolls and the later Greek writings of the era. One particular flaw they say was about the miracle where Jesus fed the multitude with a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish. They are saying it was bread and few clusters of grapes. They reason the Romans were meat eaters and to justify their horrendous act they changed the grapes to fish.
I love it when a reporter 2000 years from the scene knows more than one closer to the scene. PETA and their cronies are driving head on with their anti meat campaign and intend to chop the tree out by the roots regardless how fishy it smells.

I wonder if God really anticipated that by having is own son die for our sins that us sinners would take that many "mulligans" during our lives. I believe that we well have been born with the tendency to sin and be abusive to our fellow man, but I don't feel that it was God's intention that we has "saved" and "unsaved" humans would train or educate ourselves to be better at sinning. Hopefully we would be willing to turn around and strive to sin less not more.
