Who says that God did not give us the knowledge and ability to judge right from wrong?
JOHN 7V24..Judge Righteous Judgement. (between evil and good)in the spirits of humankind.
Can this also apply to HOSEA 3V6 mY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for the lack of KNOWLEDGE?
Before we come to know the Lord, we really do not know right from wrong.
The wisdom derived from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is earthly wisdom. Only God can give true wisdom and ability to judge – to
I say:- No it cannot be!(applied) Otherwise how will JCg judge the world?discern between good and evil.
Some of the ancient Greek philosophers put forth the concept that if you know the good you will choose it. This line of thinking seems to be reinforced by what you are getting at with the scripture quotes. My problem with it lies in the existence of ethical dilemmas:
A man is on business forty minutes away from his home town and receives a call that his wife is going into labor, he also receives a phone call that his mother is on her deathbed in a hospital forty minutes the other direction. Does he choose to be with his wife or his dying mother?
He could go back and forth on the decision, he only has one mother after all and he can always have more children, maybe his mother does not want him to see her like that and wants him to witness the birth of his child.
Either way there is no right answer, and I believe life is more populated with situations that have no right answer than those where it is clear cut, so I am saying that God did not give us the knowledge and ability to judge right from wrong because of ethical dilemmas where there is no right answer.

Do you believe Pastors hold the God given authority or carry the ordained right to Judge..I have seen many church leaders cast judgment upon members of there congregation for backsliding and/or sinning, do these religious leaders hold a higher authority the individual who was judged?

Is a person who preaches and insists that his way is right any different than a preacher in a churchThere are those who demand that they have Holy Spirit divine guidance. Yet they "hate" churches. The elephant in the room is that they do the exact same thing. Holding court and demanding...

Why do people feel that they have a God given right to judge others?In my experience reading alot of the answers around christianity, I have found that the very people who profess to be christians are casting the first stone. Not everyone. But I have to honestly say the majority from what I've...

In the Bible, we are asked to not to seek knowledge but to trust in the Lord and then we will receive wisdom. I agree that life's challenges can lead to wisdom of the spirit, but does seeking out knowledge cloud our judgements or does it help us decide what to lend our faith to? Of...
