I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

In other words, because God commands it. If he says kill a baby, you kill that baby

>>2296455

The latter. Exodus 32:11-14.

So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired.

>>2296493
God and rightness are two different forces now?

>>2296513

No, rather that God, as a perfect being, always does what is right. That's why Moses calls Him out on His bluff.

>If he says kill a baby, you kill that baby
>If God commands that which he does not command then you do that command
You're either a clever shitposter or a complete retard.

It was because Moses showcased his piety in remembering previous divine encounters and taking them to heart.

Would the conduct be right or wrong in the absence of God, or rather, in the absence of judgement?

>>2296556


Absurdity. To suggest such indicates that God changed His mind in response to a temporal event which had already been known, what with omniscience. The declaration, unfollowed through, was a bluff, and was for Moses's benefit, not for God's.

God commanded the Hebrews to kill men, women, children, and livestock when they first took over Israel.

If whatever god does right, then whatever god commands is right.

That means killing babies, cursing trees, plagues, etc.
