Humanity\u2019s moral deterioration happened without much delay: the violation of the command not to eat the forbidden fruit, murder in the family, murder in society, the corruption of the ways of all living creatures on earth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the first time, we read in Chapter 6 an emotional response from God reflecting on the poor results of His creations<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \u00a0&#8220;And the Lord regretted that He had made man on earth, and His heart was saddened&#8221; (Genesis 6:6).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God was saddened because human beings did not meet His expectations; human beings did not succeed in developing social morality and a moral conscience. How do these come about? Can we give instructions for an emotion? How do you develop morals and a conscience?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the first time, after the flood, and with a desire to correct that which is perverted, God delivers the first law that seeks to preserve the sanctity of human life and even provides a justification that &#8220;of man, too, will I require a reckoning for human life, of every man for that of his fellow man! Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in His image did God make man\u201d (Genesis 9:5-6).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an explicit law detailing the punishment of those who violate it, a law that seeks to develop fear of God, a law that presents what humans and God have in common. It may be what succeeds in developing the conscience and morality that has been lacking until now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","image":false,"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"How Do You Develop Morals and a Conscience?","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"What God and humans have in common","preview_embedded":"","preview_image":false,"preview_video":"","external_link":"","link_for_pay":false,"tile_gallery_items":false,"credits":""},"alternate_tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"","hide_media":false},"tile_group":{"preview_image_url":false,"main_caption":"","sub_caption":"","":null,"popup_package_extra_content":"","read_time":""},"home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo":{"seo_title":"","seo_description":"","seo_default_title":"","seo_default_description":""},"old_create_date":"","links":false,"send_noty":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35739"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35739"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35739\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":102081,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35739\/revisions\/102081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
