Archaeology of the New Testament

[IBDaMann]

the golden rule is not just "another law" it's an abstract guiding principle, suitable for the derivation of all laws for a society.

You pivoted; dial it back. Your position is that "this is the law" means that there aren't any others. You insisted. Do you remember?

No, that's not what "for this is the law and the prophets" means.

yes, it is what it means.

You must pay your taxes, for this is the law. Your position is that there are therefore no other laws, probably because it would be fascism to have others.

 

[IBDaMann]

the golden rule is not just "another law"

It certainly is another law, besides the laws that were listed before it, and the laws listed after it. I believe that all of them combined form what is technically called a "set" of laws, and the golden rule is a member of that set.

it's an abstract guiding principle, suitable for the derivation of all laws for a society.

Isn't it rather concrete? TreatmentOf(others) = desiredTreatmentFrom(others)

 

[Ichabod Stain]

look at the desperation of these totalitarian fascist eugenicists to deny Christ and his transcendent morality.

the golden rule is not just another law, its a guidig principle suitable for the derivation of all laws

it's on the meta.

it is a concrete principle, as you say, suitable for the derivation of all other laws.

its so great for the derivation of all laws, that the immoral fascist like you seek to downplay it because you hate morality and love empire and oppression.

bottom line, tyrants hate empathy and love authority in place of morality.

like the founders said, "freedom is only suitable for a moral people".

evil doers seek totalitarianism through demoralization.
