I haven't come across this in Hinduism. Is there an absolute moral code found somewhere in Hinduism, that says for example: Murder is wrong, stealing is wrong, adultery is wrong, sex before marriage is wrong, homosexuality is wrong, abortion is wrong? Is such a thing found in Hinduism? If so, where?
To me, it seems that the the longer you look in the Hindu scriptures, you will find a passage that agrees with your position.
Can anyone help me with this? For someone coming from a Christian worldview, it is important to me.
