Fails to distinguish divine command obediance from divine command theory.

The ethical position that one ought to obey divine commands is a different idea from the meta-ethical position of divine command theory: that the good is whatever the divine command is. This article fails to distinguish between the two and this needs to be covered somehow. --BenMcLean (talk) 05:07, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ben, thanks for you comment. I can't find any sources which make that distinction at all; do you know of anything that we could use? ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 17:54, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aquinas

Should he be in this article? He's not someone I think most would call a theological voluntarist. And the section on his views makes it difficult to tell if he accepts the DCT as offered or if he's a theological voluntarist.68.80.130.184 (talk) 15:00, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

William Wainwright

This article mentions a philosopher called William Wainwright. I have just looked up William Wainwright on Wikipedia and found that there are several people with this name who have articles in Wikipedia, but none of them are philosophers. Vorbee (talk) 17:28, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
