Morals vs. Ethics

Ethics is a belief in right living based on philosophy. A moral is a belief in right living based on ancient teachings and is usually tied to life today with a parable or a fable.

There are two kinds of religions in the world today. One teaches a person to believe in themself. One teaches a person to believe in God. A lot of different religions believe in God but no necessarily in Jesus Christ.

Some believe morals or laws of righteous living come from god. Others believe ethics or right living come from people wanting to do what they think is right.

I believe in morals and that laws come from God. I believe when a person replaces God for themself they are breaking the first command which says "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me".

Therefore, I reject the New Age philosophy to replace God with self.
