What ARE the good / bad absolutes?

You haven't named any.

Some say the 10 Commandments ....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The Original Ten Commandments - Exodus 34


10: And he said, "Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will
do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all the earth or in any
nation;
and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the LORD; for
it
is a terrible thing that I will do with you.
11: "Observe what I command you this day. Behold, I will drive out before
you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Per'izzites, the
Hivites, and the Jeb'usites.
12: Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants
of
the land whither you go, lest it become a snare in the midst of you.
13: You shall tear down their altars, and break their pillars, and cut
down
their Ashe'rim
14: (for you shall wor****p no other god, for the LORD, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God),
15: lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and when
they
play the harlot after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and one
invites
you, you eat of his sacrifice,
16: and you take of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters
play
the harlot after their gods and make your sons play the harlot after their
gods.
17: "You shall make for yourself no molten gods.
18: "The feast of unleavened bread you shall keep. Seven days you shall
eat
unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month
Abib; for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.
19: All that opens the womb is mine, all your male cattle, the firstlings
of
cow and sheep.
20: The firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will
not
redeem it you shall break its neck. All the first-born of your sons you
shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
21: "Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; in
plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.
22: And you shall observe the feast of weeks, the first fruits of wheat
harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
23: Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the LORD
God,
the God of Israel.
24: For I will cast out nations before you, and enlarge your borders;
neither shall any man desire your land, when you go up to appear before
the
LORD your God three times in the year.
25: "You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither
shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left until the
morning.
26: The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring to the
house of the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's
milk."
27: And the LORD said to Moses, "Write these words; in accordance with
these
words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."
28: And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither
ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the
covenant, the ten commandments.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to the ORIGINAL 10 Commandments posted above  ... "You shall not

boil a kid in its mother's milk." [Exodus 34:26] is an ABSOLUTE!  It is
also 
a delicacy in many Middle Eastern countries.

What is your ruling good /bad on this practice?

How do you know your ruling is correct?
