I looked at this, since it originally related to my assertion of moral relativity. I'm curious if you actually read the book review you posted, since it seems to conclude the exact opposite of what you are asserting--namely, that the innateness of morality remains speculative.
Your statement...
Since a man's days are already determined, and the number of his months is wholly in Your control, and he cannot pass the bounds of his allotted time --Job 14:5
Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whom You choose and cause to come near, that he may dwell in Your courts...
I don't care what you posted when, or who agrees with what, nonsense is still nonsense.
Free will implies the ability to do something other than that which God knows one will do--otherwise the choice is not truly free. If you choose to stay in a locked room, that's not what one would commonly...

For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled, bewildered]. I do not practice or accomplish what I wish, but I do the very thing that I loathe [which my moral instinct condemns]. Now if I do [habitually] what is contrary to my desire, [that means that] I acknowledge and agree...
John 10:14-16 Jesus makes mention of other religions and tells us there will be a time when there will be one Shepherd and one fold. This was practically impossible in past times when people were so separated by geography and cultural barriers. Now the earth is one country and mankind its...
