Strange blunder

שו"תקטגוריה: moralStrange blunder
שאל לפני 10 חודשים

Hello Rabbi. When I draw a clear line between Halacha and morality, I encounter something that doesn't add up. , First assumption: Morality is distinguishing between good and evil (things that are right to do and things that are wrong to do). Second assumption: The divine commands are things that are right to do (because God commanded) and God will not tell me to do something that is wrong. Conclusion: Every divine command is actually moral by definition. It follows that when there is an apparent contradiction between morality and Halacha, there is really no contradiction because the right thing to do (what Halacha commands) is the will of God and therefore is moral. So there is never a contradiction between morality and Halacha because they are essentially the same thing(??)
I know something is wrong but I can't quite put my finger on it. I'd appreciate some help. Thank you very much.

You are playing with words. The identification between morality and the will of God is wrong. Morality is indeed the will of God, but the reverse is not true. Alternatively, not everything that is right to do is moral. There is also halakha. Therefore, sometimes God commands you to do something immoral, because that is what is right to do in such a situation (in order to achieve religious value).
