Everything you are saying is straight up wrong because there is no objective standard for morality.
Even if the Bible were true and authoritative (it’s not), there’s still no objective moral standard in it. It’s because it is the work of hundreds of scribes and redactors with multiple opinions. One says to sacrifice their firstborn children. The next scribe reads it and doesn’t like it so he adds “don’t sacrifice your kids” to rebuke the previous scribe. The Bible can’t agree on many things, morality or otherwise, because of its blatant irreconcilable contradictions. There simply isn’t any truth or objectivity in the Bible.
Except for one thing… an action is pleasing to the LORD if it is what the LORD wants at that particular time based on the opinions of the scribes who wrote the stories.
Oh and except slavery - that’s objectively morally permissible in the Bible. Rape too, as long as it’s an unmarried virgin and you pay her father the dowry, or if it’s your own slave.
Foo, please don’t apply your objective moral standard to your children should they become rebellious. Use my subjective standard - the western humanist standard - and don’t stone your children to death.
