MDD & others – Let me clarify what I meant: The Torah is Hashem’s words. Listening to the Torah is Rozon Hashem (Hashem’s will). Certain things we would know that Hashem wants us to do without him actually having to write it down; eg. murder. Like by Kayin -he should have figured out killing is wrong with his own sense. To repeat my answer to the original poster: All morality comes from Hashem -it’s only moral if Hashem wants us to do it. If Hashem didn’t care if we killed each other -then it wouldn’t be immoral! One example: Acc. to the law if someone breaks into your house and tells you I’m just here to steal and I won’t hurt you and I have no weapons -you aren’t allowed to do anything physical to him. This is immoral acc. to our laws- to harm him. Acc. to the Torah, you can kill him, no matter what he says. This would be perfectly moral acc. to the Torah!
