Excerpt from The Morals of Christ: A Comparison With Contemporaneous Systems
For, he says, On these two commandments (positive) hang all the Law and the Prophets (negative); or, when he generalizes st'ill farther these same commandments into the Golden Rule - One positive precept Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye even SO to them; and so fulfill the Law and the Prophets.
The Mosaic morality said, in substance, DO nothing that is wrong; the morality of Christ, DO everything that is right. The substance of the former, is, Thou shalt do no evil; that of the latter, Thou shalt do good; the substantial command of the former, Thou shalt not hate that Of the latter, Thou shalt love; the principle of the former, justice; that Of the latter, benevolence. The Ten Commandments might more appropriately be called the Ten Prohibitions; while the Sermon on the Mount is the real commandment. In the Old Testament there was restraint and warning put upon the moral man; in the New, liberty and impulse. In the former man Was a slave, under bonds against vice; in the latter he is free, under incentives to virtue. The Mosaic morality said substantially, DO nothing in morality, lest it be an injury; the Christian morality said, Do some thing in morality, since it may be good.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book champions the transformative morality of Jesus Christ, who brought about significant departures from existing moral frameworks. In contrast to the negative, ritualistic, and externally-focused morality of his time, Jesus emphasized positive, practical, and internal virtues. He challenged the Mosaic tradition of laws and prohibitions, advocating instead for a morality based on love, kindness, and forgiveness. The author explores the depth of Jesus' teachings, revealing how they transcended the cultural norms of their time and continue to resonate today. Through an examination of the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount, the book highlights the shift from outward obedience to inward transformation. Jesus placed great value on subjective states of mind, arguing that morality is not merely about actions but also about intentions and motivations. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the radical nature of Jesus' morality, exploring its implications for personal conduct and societal well-being. It invites readers to reflect on the timeless relevance of Christ's teachings and their transformative power in shaping a more just and compassionate world.
