چکیده

What a “Mormon” thinks of Christ By Tim Dorius I recently read with interest the November article “Is Mormonism Christian?” in which the author of this article states “Mormonism is not Christian.” After reading this, I had the opportunity to speak with Rick Thomas, Editor of Beacon OU, who invited me to respond with my own article. I thank the Beacon for the opportunity to write this article. I will not examine the contentions expressed in the previous article, but if anyone has any question about any specific points of doctrine of my church, or about anything I say that may not be completely clear, please talk to any member or missionary, or you may feel free to email me at [email protected]. I will say that I do not feel that anyone on earth has the authority to determine and declare whether one who claims to be a Christian really is what he claims to be. As Christ himself said, “Judge not that ye be not judged (Matt. 7:1).” In fact, in John 5:22, we learn that “the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.” Once, in Luke 9:4950, the apostles came across a man who was casting out devils in Christ’s name and they rebuked him, saying that he followed not with them. When Christ heard this, He gently chastised His Is the Mormon and Christian Jesus the same?? You Decide.

D. Loeb Moral Realism and the Argument from Disagreement

The argument from disagreement is among the most important that has been directed against moral realism.1 Yet, in recent years it has been widely rejected – so widely, in fact, that even those who are sympathetic with irrealism have often found it unconvincing. One reason for this has to do with the fact that newer, more sophisticated versions of moral realism have recently emerged. Some of the...

Milk, Honey, and The Good Life on Moral Twin Earth

In “Milk, Honey, and the Good Life on Moral Twin Earth”, David Copp explores some ways in which a defender of synthetic moral naturalism might attempt to get around our Moral Twin Earth argument.1 Copp nicely brings out the force of our argument, not only through his exposition of it, but through his attempt to defeat it, since his efforts, we think, only help to make manifest the deep difficul...

The moral status of beings who are not persons: a casuistic argument.

This paper addresses the question: Who or what can have a moral status in the sense that we have direct moral duties to them? It argues for a biocentric answer which ascribes inherent moral status value to all individual living organisms. This position must be defended against an anthropocentric position. The argument from marginal cases propounded by Tom Regan and Peter Singer for this purpose...

The Non-moral Basis of Cognitive Biases of Moral Intuitions

Against moral intuitionism, which holds that moral intuitions can be non-inferentially justified, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong argues that moral intuitions are unreliable and must be confirmed to be justified (i.e. must be justified inferentially) because they are subject to cognitive biases. However, I suggest this is merely a renewed version of the argument from disagreement against intuitionism....

Geoengineering, climate change scepticism and the ‘moral hazard’ argument: an experimental study of UK public perceptions

Consequentialism, Metaphysical Realism, and the Argument from Clueless- ness†

The most powerful version of the classic epistemic argument against consequentialism is stated in an article by James Lenman. Lenman’s “argument from cluelessness” claims that a significant percentage of the consequences of our actions are wholly unknowable and hence, when it comes to assessing the moral quality of our actions, we are literally without a clue. In this paper, I distinguish the a...
