The God's seeds and the law codes
Ancient Law Codes
There could be a theological third answer, according to the principle of God's seeds.
Before the revelation to Moses, God may have inspired moral hints to Sumerians, isn't it?
Gemini-Bard's reply:
That's
a fascinating theological perspective.
According to
the principle of God's seeds, it's possible that God may have inspired moral
principles in various cultures and civilizations, even before the specific
revelation to Moses.
This would suggest a universal moral order that transcends
time and culture.
While we cannot definitively prove this
theological assertion, it offers a compelling explanation for the similarities
between different moral codes and traditions.
It also aligns with the belief
that God is the ultimate source of goodness and morality.
