Dear Ubiquitin,
I read the OP as the revelation versus reason debate. Because it included not stealing as the Will of Hashem. I assumed this was not a single divined oracle. Rather the Revelation of the Torah. Now that you pointed it out, I reread the OP. It fits much better with the whole paragraph. But if we are discussing the essence of morals in relation to His Essence, (without the Torah) Why would Rashi suffice as a counter proof? We would think that theft is immoral of it’s own nature but we would be wrong.
