Will a person of high morality break any law?

Do we have that natural ability to know right from wrong. Yes and no. It depends on the complexity of the case. The more intricacy, the more unnatural.

Morality is therefore seen to be an ideal which we all (supposedly) possess as it is given to us all by God.
Even we may possess naturally, it must be a hidden deep in the root, some times we may not know it dose exist and when being influenced by the environment, we may ignore its existence completely.
In such a case, seeing that we are all (supposedly) in possessession of a deep thread of morality, this would therefore mean that if we follow our morals we could not break any law as to break the law would be going against the laws and notions of God. Now as you all know the notion of natural law was replaced with the positive laws of today. Positive laws being laws made by man.

If the bait or some other stimulants like hate is too attractive or strong, the law, natural or man-made, may also be ignored.

So would a person of high morality break any law? Definitely yes. What standard do we use to define any level of morality?

Since most are so deep under the sea of sins, a not-involved look as clean as an angel.
If we follow the natural law notion, we would be excluding people who do not believe in God and also those who believe in something else.

Note it or not, God exists. That is not conditional. That is also why we have some common ground.
There can never be any true standard by which we could define someone as being highly moral.

Morality have the effect of factors cancelling each other, a guy may save a baby and beat a dog, how about his morality? When the case becomes more interwinded we all get lost.

Positive laws are there to maintain order while notions of morality are there to govern how we live our lives. Any individual who goes over the speed limit would be breaking a law, this however does not make them immoral (after all, we've all been guilty of that at some stage or other). On the flip side of this, we all see a peadophile as being immoral, because they have done something which goes against the grain of what we believe is right, and positive law has recognised this by making it illegal and a punishable.

Natural laws also need to be understood correctly, that is the controversial because different groups claim differently. Man-made laws are a supplement or enrichment or explanation of natural laws. If the two goes unrelated completely we will run into trouble.

Note it or not GOD EXISTS? SAYS WHO? just because YOU may believe in some god, hell, who cares if 95% or so of humanity believes in some god, theres still no justification for saying GOD EXISTS other than the BELIEF of yourself and all those others. Humanity has been known to be wrong on a mass scale, or are we all just confused and the earth really IS flat? :eek:
 
I'd rather say that only perfect servant will not break the law, regardless to moral.....

This is not a question of how many believers will justify a belief. This is my belief, that is all.
Who gives the world natural laws? Who can prove the natural laws exist?
What ever you call the Entity that gives natural order to the universe, God, Angel, whatever you call it.
He exists.
 
A perfect law cannot be wrong. If it were so, we would just add the provision of the scenario.
