Default Because the bible tells you so?
To claim that your source of morality comes from the teachings of the bible and that those teachings are "good" suggests that you had a concept of what good was before you read the teachings.

If you claim that your morality came from the teachings of the bible, how did you come to the conclusion that those teachings were good in the first place?

The Bible says many contradictory things. It says that you should love your neighbour, but it also says an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You can make your own morality from it, be it good or bad.

Can't someone's idea of good change? Does it matter what their concept of good was beforehand? It's obviously changed to the good of the Bible. Perhaps they thought their previous concept of good was wrong, and that the divine concept of good provided by God is better?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I assume they'd come from their parents, who probably also got their teachings from the Bible. And so on and so forth until God (through Moses) introduced the idea.

If not from parents, likely from faith. If you accept the Bible as divine, then it is good to you, and you will live your life accordingly. So yes, because the Bible tells you so.

What about those of us who claim our source of morality is God?

That is so true.
As for my own Morals, not only based on the bibles teachings but also on what I have learnt and experienced.

Your moralities come from the law then? I am curious, wich law are you following then?
Would you prefer a law like in america, china or my netherlands? and wich of these laws have the right morals really? How did you come to the conclusion one of these laws were wrong for you and wich ones were right?
