Gods law/Ethics---You are implying a division between God's law and Ethics-morality---does that mean that Ethics and Morality are NOT part of God's Law in Bahai ?
God's Law is a higher standard. Many morals and ethics are based on and derived from God's Law, but many are not. In the modern world many morals and ethics are increasingly based on the higher standard of Baha'i Laws and principles.
For example: God's Law in the Baha'i writings that all kinds of slavery and indentured servitude is forbidden has increasingly become the basis for morals and ethics throughout the world.
If morals and ethics are "human values of behavior" yet human nature is unknowable---are Ethics/Morality relative and/or utilitarian in Bahai paradigm?
CXXII Katab-i-Iqan Baha'u'llah
"Immerse yourselves in the ocean of My Words" Baha-u-llah
I do not mind this side step from the topic of the thread, but the topic of this thread is more in the line of 'God is the supreme and only Divine Will of all of Existence. There is no other will like Satan or the Devil that can exist contesting the Will of God.'
