Arising from conscience or the sense of right and wrong: a moral obligation.
to be immoral would be consciously choosing wrong. to be sexually immoral would be consciously choosing what is against your beliefs about sex's place and purpose. If you're a christian, you would be immoral to have sex outside of marriage, either before or after. If you're not christian, well, whatever you want to do is okay, but only by your own standards. What is the point if we are all under our own and only our own standards? We could kill people and be moral by our own standards, that doesn't make it right. On the other hand we could not practice modern medicine and be moral by our own standards, but that doesn't make it wrong. It's an argument that will go on forever, and God and truth-seeking christians will realize that. Argue all you want, I just think there's more to life than birth--------(70 yrs)------------death a.k.a. THE END




You're right, regardless of any word used in translation, immorality is subjective unless you have some sort of specific standard, and in this case I hold the bible as my standard, because I believe it.

These days no one wants to be told what's moral or immoral, but the laws of society are based on morals, so it gets interesting.
