Matthew 25:31-36 says, "Then he will say to those on his left, “Depart from me, you cursed. . . And these will go away into ETERNAL punishment, but the righteous into ETERNAL life.” Same Greek word used in one verse as a contrasting comparison. You can’t say the two uses of the same word have two entirely different meanings without circular reasoning and a pre-conceived bias: universalism. Revelation 14:9-11 says, "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath...and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have NO REST, day or night." If they were annihilated out of existence, then the statement no rest day or night makes no sense. Revelation 20:10 says, "And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be TORMENTED day and night FOREVER and ever. . .Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if ANYONE"S name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." By the way, the word torment is translated from the Greek word Basanismos, and it means to torture. It absolutely does NOT mean to annihilate and put out of existence, nor does mean to rehabilitate. Again, look at Strong’s Concordance, the word translated torment is Basanismos, and it means to torture.
Check out some more of my Global Politics videos here! th-cam.com/play/PL-MZyeaK_bhvgZfBQ_AfjizWO27-YzXeB.html What do you think? Should Human Rights be universal, or is there a reasonable argument for the cultural relativism of rights? Where should the line be drawn? Thanks for watching!
I definitely WANT human rights to be universal, but I find the cultural relativism-argument quite compelling - that my desire for the human rights to be universal is only a desire, and other people in other societies have other desires, and neither of our desires is more right than the other.
That's a really good point! You've really got the heart of the issue of universalism vs relativism. Thinking about things from others' perspectives is important... but at the same time, we should probably draw the line somewhere.
@@KorczyksClass Yes, accepting every society's morals and actions is a hard pill to swallow, since there are many hideous (in my opinion) things going on in other societies. My final phrase - "neither of our desires is more right than the other" - is of course controversial, and I might not actually believe it to be true upon closer inspection, in every case. I think, and hope, that the idea of morality ultimately being subjective can be a purely philosophical, theoretical truth (if you believe it is true), and that we find a way, in the "real world", to rationally justify drawing a line and intervening when people are suffering in other societies on the basis of their moral code.
Thankyou so much for this video. It will be so helpful in approaching this essay on the UDHR and the impact on social work practice (as part of my Social Work degree).
Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for the feedback. It's odd that it's showing automatically generated Vietnamese subs. I'll see what I can do about English subs.
Question: When a government, during Covid-19 lockdown, declares some businesses essential and others not, fo which some are not allowed to operate (restaurants, entertainment), is this a suspension of a HR article 23.1 ? Same question for HR article 20.1 ? My answer is that they are suspensions. And a suspended right is no right at all. I am curious to your ansewer to that.
If we want to keep it to the UDHR, Article 29.2 states that governments can set limitations to rights by law to "meet the just requirements of... public order and the general welfare in a democratic society." Governments that have imposed public health measures justify it based on protecting the general welfare of their people, and overall it seems most people have been supportive of these temporary measures.
@@KorczyksClass I disagree here. Article 29 talks about limitations in “written law”. The politicians of today invention new concepts, which are not in written law. “Essential businesses” and “ non-essential” are not in written law. Not written anywhere. Politicians of today are caught red-handeed at suspending HR 23.1 by peddling unwritten rules, which they make up on the fly.
Might be different for different contexts, but in Ontario, Canada, for example, the Health Protection and Promotion Act gives the government power to make these kinds of decisions: 77.1 (1) If the Chief Medical Officer of Health is of the opinion that a situation exists anywhere in Ontario that constitutes or may constitute a risk to the health of any persons, he or she may investigate the situation and take such action as he or she considers appropriate to prevent, eliminate or decrease the risk. 2007, c. 10, Sched. F, s. 15. The division of businesses into essential and non-essential is one way that these governments are interpreting these powers. A pandemic is an evolving situation that requires quick decision making based on the best available evidence.
@@KorczyksClass In the Ontario case, it says that the Chief Medical Officier has a lot of power to take action. But is he allowed to take action "outside of" the fundamental human rights ? I doubt it, given that this kind of person is likely unelected. Your thoughts ?
How come LGBTQ universal? What makes it a right fundamentally except for personal whim? Many cultures and religions considers it (the act not the person) sinful and abhorrent.
Interesting question. Slavery is specifically addressed in article 4 of the universal declaration of human rights: "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms."
Grnocide isn't a culture and neither is it accepted in any country so it can't be an argument for relativism. Indigenous groups don't translate to not owning a parcel of land whether they consider themselves stewards of that land or not... Again, it can't be an argument for relativism.. All it is is simply an argument of implementation and not an argument of relativism... At the end of the day,, all humans including indigenous tribes have the right to be endowed with land... However they use and utilize that land is relative... But i still love the video... Thank you very much... 😊💗💗💗

Property including slaves?
Very useful
Glad you think so! Thanks!
US president stating what has and what has not place in the European Union is good enough reason to make toilet paper of the human rights declaration
John 3:36, "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them."
👍

Right to culture and Health. Culture is Health. Old cultures are ecological and sustaiabel.
