Comment: Do you believe there is an absolute
morality? It appears that in the days that we live society determines
morality, and it has changed quite a bit from biblical times. There is
no commandment against child abuse. Very little is mentioned in the
bible that protects children. But, children need special protection
because they are vulnerable. There are tribal wars in the bible and
ordered killing of women, children, and babies in the bible. And there
are many other acts and principles that we do not accept as moral today.
Response:
If there is no absolute morality then any moral judgment you make about
God or the Bible or others is incoherent. If there is no objective
morality, then why is our view wrong? If all morality is relative then
no one's morality is better than another's, just different. Better
implies an absolute standard you are appealing to. So you cannot
consistently say someone else's morality is wrong unless you can show me
how you know this? Either it is your personal preference or you are
getting it from some ultimate authority? Continue at John Hendryx
