Is wokeness a religion? What is Divine Command Theory? Is God holding a grudge with original sin? Don't miss on this special Mailbag edition of Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders.
Divine Command Theory is a broad belief that that morality comes from God's commands. God says don't murder, murder is wrong. God says do love each other, loving people is good. Pretty straight forward, but it does have some things that raise concerns. What do we do if God used to command one thing, but now commands a different thing. Does that mean morality is changing? How does God decide what to command? There are number of different questions that come up and we try to ask as many as we can in this interview. Enjoy!

This is going to be a multi-part conversation for sure! You may find that by the time our conversation is over, you may have been exposed to this theory MORE than you possibly realized!! If you have never heard of the term before, here is what WIKIPEDIA says about “Divine command theory” (also known as theological voluntarism) is a meta-ethical theory which proposes that an action's status as morally good is equivalent to whether it is commanded by God. The theory asserts that what is moral is determined by God's commands and that for a person to be moral he is to follow God's commands. Followers of both monotheistic and polytheistic religions in ancient and modern times have often accepted the importance of God's commands in establishing morality.

To Everything a Season: Lutheran Reflections Through the Church Year
In this special episode, we take a look at the current landscape of moral philosophy in the American Lutheran church. Is there such a thing as a "Lutheran Ethic?" If so, what does it look like, and how can Martin Luther and the other reformers help guide us in this area? All this and more in tonight's episode.
This episode is in response to a few comments on the previous discussions about morality.

Dr. Craig discusses and article on Divine Command Theory by his colleague Dr. David Baggett.
In this episode of the Logos Institute Podcast, we (Dani Ross & Jason Stigall) conclude our interview with Professor C. Stephen Evans (University Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Baylor; Professorial Fellow at the Logos Institute). Last episode, we discussed how Professor Evans's account compares to other theories of the good and the ways his Divine Command theory differs from other traditional versions. In this episode, we pick up our discussion of moral obligations in divine command theory and the way these obligations are made know to humans. If you're interested in looking ahead, here are a few time stamps to help: 0:50 - How does God communicate or make His commands known to humanity? 3:45 - Is there a way for humanity to reliably access divine commands? 7:11 - How does humanity's relationship to God generate moral obligations? Does God's relationship to humanity entail that God has moral obligations to human persons? 11:27 - God's commands are given for humanity's good 13:42 - Does God ever ask human persons to do things that may seem to run contrary to other commands that God has given? (e.g. the command for Abraham to sacrifice Issac) 17:54 - The example of Abraham's sacrifice to Isaac, helps illustrate how some moral obligations are specific to particular people (e.g. ‘as a test of faith') 23:19 - How does the ‘telos' of the Christian life impact how obligations are understood in your DCT? 27:21 - What do you think are the ‘upshots' or benefits of your account of DCT and what is the ‘take home' message for your account?

Stephen Evans (University Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Baylor; Professorial Fellow at the Logos Institute) about his extensive work on divine command theory and moral obligations. This is only part 1 of the interview, so we have much more to come. If you're interested in looking ahead, here are a few time stamps to help: 0:45 - How did you become interested in moral obligations and divine command theory (DCT)? 3:19 - How is your account of divine command theory different from theological volunteerism and other traditional renderings of DCT? 5:55 - What is the divine discretion thesis? 10:10 - Why is it misleading to describe all DCT's as a type of theological voluntarism? 15:43 - What are moral obligations and where do they fit in your account of DCT? 23:42 - How moral obligations are grounded on your account? 26:15 - What it means for Gods commands to be directed at the good 31:42 - Do moral obligations come in varying degrees? 34:41 - `how much do humans have to be aware of these obligations/standing to God in order to be subject to them? 36:20 - What are the different types of obligations? Are all obligations moral obligations? To learn more about the Logos Institute, visit our webpage at logos.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk.

Questions from Muslims received by Dr. Craig include the historicity of Christ's death, the nature of repentance, and Divine Command Theory.
In their book Science and the Good, professional philosophers James Hunter and Paul Nedelisky trace the origins and development of the centuries-long, passionate, but ultimately failed quest to discover a scientific foundation for morality. The conversation takes a decidedly interesting turn when Drs. Hunter and Nedelisky reveal that they are both theists and that their Christian worldview informs their thinking on moral issues. The three then dig into the weeds of the difference between religious and secular moral systems, the nature of God and morality, why a purely naturalistic approach to morality does not negate religion or even the existence of God (natural law could be God’s way of creating moral values), natural rights and rights theory, consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics, progress in philosophy, why philosophers never seem to reach consensus on important subjects like morality, how to think about issues like abortion, why they believe in God and follow the Christian religion and yet reject Divine Command Theory, and much more.
In this episode Jacob speaks with Philosopher Jeremy Koons. They speak on his paper Can God's Goodness Save The Divine Command Theory from Euthyphro? This is a critique to a particular version of Divine Command Theory. Dr. Koons article: https://philpapers.org/rec/KOOCGG Where to find me: Email: reasonthrough2@gmail.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/reasonthrough
In this episode, Jacob speaks again with Philosopher Chad Bogosian. They discuss one theistic moral theory that is typically associated with objective morality. This theory is known as Divine Command Theory. Divine Command Theorists believe God is the ultimate source of goodness and through his goodness flows commands, thus creating moral obligations. Jacob also expresses his concerns about said theory. Article referenced: https://philpapers.org/rec/KOOCGG

In today’s Solidarity Fridays episode, after a short and much-needed break, Kyle and Joe return, but don't really touch on any news. This time, they have a very open conversation largely focused on philosophy and capitalism. They dive into a lot of philosophical questions: are we reducing the mystical to the medical? Do we understand enough about spirit and somatic energies to measure them? How much are therapists and sitters interpreting mystical experience and assigning meaning to it for others vs. teaching people how to interpret it themselves? What makes a God? Is commodifying the sacred bad? And what makes something sacred other than it being significant? And the classic: What is good? They also touch on Harvard School of World Religions' year-long series on psychedelics and the future of religion, the Divine Command Theory, James Kent's DoseNation podcast series, Charles Eisenstein and the concept of deflationary money, the billionaire pledge, triple bottom line thinking and other ways to incentivize employees to make businesses closer to co-ops, and why not all capitalism is bad. Lastly, Joe highly recommends Tom O'Neill and Dan Piepenbring's book, CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties, which touches on MKUltra, the Phoenix Program, how the government used Charles Manson, and how the drug war was a logical consequence of the paranoia of the U.S.S.R. and communism toppling the USA and capitalism. Notable Quotes “Coming from the somatic world, our bodies- I think, sometimes we dismiss that and maybe might call that a little ‘woo woo,’ but how is your body an actual instrument that can help you understand maybe what’s going on? It’s firing a bunch of signals all the time, right? Information is just coming in and we have to try to make sense of it. Is it an appropriate instrument to try to learn how to discern the information that’s coming in? Could we finely tune that?” -Kyle “It’s helpful to have diagnostic categories, but I think we’re taking the diagnostic categories a little too seriously and making them a little too real. A diagnostic category is not as real as a glass of water in your hand. One’s real concrete, one’s real abstract. Both are helpful at times. Both could be harmful, depending on what you do with the glass.” -Joe“A lot of folks want to just use psychedelics and escape the world, like the ‘drop out’ thing. Like, ‘I’m just going to be with the spirit world.’ But it’s like, what good is you being with the spirit world if you’re not having any impact on the world world?” -Joe “Being hubristic enough to say that ‘I have an answer’- that’s where I see the problem. Being willing to engage in conversation with people with a lot more experience with this kind of thing is probably where it’s at. Like, ok, let’s talk to 4-5 economists and see what their opinion is. Maybe talk to some professional ethicists to see what their opinion is. I don’t think anybody is going to have the answer, but by hearing all of those perspectives, we can learn more.” -Joe Links Center for the Study of World Religions: Medicalizing Mysticism: Religion in Contemporary Psychedelic Trials (youtube) Divine Command Theory Psymposia.com: “Lucy In The Sky With Nazis: Psychedelics and the Right Wing” by Brian Pace, PhD Sage Journals: Increased nature relatedness and decreased authoritarian political views after psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression James Kent’s DoseNation podcast The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct, by Thomas S.

Morality and Science and the Human Potential with Don Dean and Bruce McGraw Please Support Us Through the Links Bellow: https://www.paypal.me/SohelBahjat https://www.patreon.com/RealSohelBahjat https://gf.me/u/x3sids Listen to us on: https://anchor.fm/sohel-bahjat Welcome to another Episode and before I start introducing our guests, I would like to inform you that I have decided to change my Channel and Podcast’s name from Bright Blue Star to SoShowEnglish as I have the same name SoShow for my Arabic viewers. “Ethics is fundamental to human beings, and we cannot escape from doing ethics at all. Let us assume that somebody else decided to do No Ethical Judgment whatsoever, to avoid all kinds of moral theories and all the social-related issues, however, that in itself is a moral theory and having an apathetic point of view of challenging ethical issues is a moral judgment in itself.” Now, some German idealist philosophers, such as Emanuel Kant and Hegel argued that the metaphysics of morality leads to God. In contrast, Utilitarianism and its leading figures like Jeremy Bentham, John Stewart Mill, and the Australian philosopher Peter Singer argue that Utility itself can be ethical and thus remove God from the equation, even though they didn’t say the last part explicitly. Today, we will discuss some issues and questions with Professor Don Dean, a 50 years member of the SGI Buddhist organization that seeks global peace and love. Also, we have with us Professor Bruce McGraw, the author of The Magical Universe New Mythology .Com Welcome to the Show: Question: Is it wrong to say that morality comes from God? Why the Divine Command Theory is problematic? Why you reject or accept such a point of view? Question: Can Science decide for us or help us to recognize what is good or bad for humanity? Ethical Relativism is still challenging because it uses science against the scientific judgment of other cultures. Do you think that we can judge a culture that allows murdering girls for charges of immorality? As recently Jordan witnessed a father who beheaded his own daughter and started smoking and drinking tea over her dead body. Question: Can we remove the religious terminology such as Good and Evil and yet remain ethical beings? Question: Our new globalized world is more in need of a Secular code of Ethics because we are living in a more diverse community and on an interconnected planet. If you agree or disagree with such a statement, can you explain your position? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sohel-bahjat/support
What is Divine Command Theory? This is generally applied to the Abrahamic god speaking of Judeo-Christian morality but could technically be applied to any set of rules or morals that come from a Divine being. One of the key problems with DCT is that for it to be valid we need to prove that deity...Read More
The only good thing one can say about the biblical account of the conquest of Canaan is that it never actually happened. Morally speaking, the story is a mess, and modern attempts to justify it show everything that's wrong with the Divine Command Theory of morality.
Is there such a thing as right and wrong, or is morality a fabrication of social and evolutionary design? Enlightenment thinkers, such as Hobbes and Rousseau, believed that morality is a social construct. Contemporary atheist philosophers, like Paul Kurtz and Michael Ruse, are convinced that evolutionary biology is responsible for a sense of morality. Judeo-Christian thinkers throughout millennia have said that moral laws require a moral law giver. And Friedrich Nietzsche dismisses the entire conversation, arguing that all morals are illusory constraints adopted by weak willed peons.NotesThe featured painting is an oil on canvas by Caspar David Friedrich, painted in 1818. It is titled, "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog." I selected it because it is widely considered one of the greatest masterpieces from the Romantic Era––an era that was destroyed by the horrors of the 20th century. Furthermore, it seems to beautifully symbolize man as Nietzsche sees him. A lone wanderer navigating a mysterious and unknown future. The tone and color matches Nietzsche's work brilliantly.The featured piece is by Hanz Liszt, a Hungarian composer of the 19th century and contemporary of Nietzsche. The piece, Sonata in B Minor, is one of the most influential and powerful sonatas after Beethoven's. Similarly to the chosen artwork, it, too, marks the best and last one of its kind before the death of Romanticism after World War 1.LinksVisit our website: https://www.wellreadchristian.comCheck our our blog: https://www.wellreadchristian.com/blogFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellreadchristianTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/WellReadChrist1Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfGxz4OH1-hVD0fL9AWR4Xg
In this guest talk, Rob Reed discusses Divine Command Theory and the question of whether or not it makes morality arbitrary. He considers the way the Euthyphro dilemma is commonly posed and shows that when we take DCT to be a theory of obligation and not a general theory of goodness, the dilemma disappears. A […]
Chandler Klebs and Monique Lukens talk about some of the ethics provided by religion and some of the conflicts.

Mariam al-Attar, Islamic Ethics: Divine Command Theory in Arabo-Islamic Thought (Routledge, 2010) explores the meaning, origin and development of “Divine Command Theory” in Islamic thought. In the process, al-Attar underscores the philosophical bases of religious fundamentalism that hinder social development and hamper dialogue between different cultures and nations. Challenging traditional stereotypes of Islam, the book refutes contemporary claims that Islam is a defining case of ethical voluntarism, and that the prominent theory in Islamic ethical thought is Divine Command Theory. The author argues that, in fact, early Arab-Islamic scholars articulated moral theories: theories of value and theories of obligation. She traces the development of Arabo-Islamic ethics from the early Islamic theological and political debates between the Kharijites and the Murji’ites, shedding new light on the moral theory of Abd al-Jabbar al-Mu’tazili and the effects of this moral theory on post-Mu’tazilite ethical thought. Highlighting important aspects in the development of Islamic thought, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Islamic moral thought and ethics, Islamic law, and religious fundamentalism.
