CS10.3
Contrast the Mosaic Law perspective on morality and sin with a contemporary Christian perspective of relationship building with God.

[SH, DHP, CH]

Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Discuss the place of the Ten Commandments within Mosaic Law.

(b)

Discuss the shift in understanding the Ten Commandments as laws (e.g., enforced by scribes and Pharisees) to a relationship with God in the spirit of the law (e.g., Jesus as fulfillment of the law).

(c)

Contrast how each of the Ten Commandments was understood from a legal perspective and a contemporary relational context through discussions such as:

  • keep holy the Sabbath (e.g., adherence to Sabbath laws moving towards relationship building with God)
  • honour mother and father (e.g., moving from honouring parents towards honouring parents and other elders within the community)
  • do not commit adultery (e.g., rules and punishment pertaining to extra-marital sex moving towards personal responsibility for sexual morality)
  • do not covet (e.g., person as possession moving towards recognition of the dignity of the person).
(d)

Distinguish the difference between merely avoiding evil and doing good using examples from Mosaic law and relational perspectives (e.g., the parable of the Good Samaritan).

(e)

Discuss legalistic and relational considerations in making a moral judgement including:

  • the moral object (i.e., action)
  • the moral intention (i.e., motive)
  • the moral circumstance (i.e., context and consequence).
(f)

Collaborate with peers to represent the Catholic teaching that a good intention can never justify an evil act.

(g)

Discuss examples of diminished responsibility for immoral acts (e.g., conditions for mortal sin).
