HOME The Basics Definitions What Sin Is Morality Applied Thomas Aquinas Fundamentalism Spirit World Creationism List |
Look at it this way The proof that morality is objective, and sin would exist even if there were no God, is in the reactions. Whenever a sin (same as injustice) is perpetrated, a force develops inside the perpetrator forcing him to conceal, deny and justify the sin. That reaction proves the objectivity of morality. If that reaction doesn't exist, call the act virtue. If morality is arbitrarily created by God, (in other words, subjective), then it is not relevant to persons who do not believe in God. They can create their own versions of right-from-wrong. But if morality is objectively determined, it applies to everyone, everywhere; and they cannot change it. If the majority no longer believes in God, and morality (or right-from-wrong) is arbitrary, they can redesign all social standards, including the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. But if morality is objective, nothing changes with time or values. This is why the US Constitution says basic rights are self-evident and inalienable. So satan and corrupted persons want to convince people that morality is an arbitrary subject, and it needs to be changed continually. They promote that standard in religion by claiming that morality was subjectively created by God. When religious persons believe that, they play into the hands of atheists who say they have different values, and morality does not apply to them. Conservatives in religion say morality is absolute, so no one dares change it. But still, they say theologically that it was subjectively created by God. So only God makes it absolute. The nonbelievers do not care what God created, and absolutes created by God mean nothing to them. If however, morality is objective, all persons, including atheists or nonbelievers, are always influenced the same by moral consequences regardless of their beliefs or values. In other words, murder is murder because of the consequences regardless of beliefs or values. Christ taught morality in that manner. Therefore atheists and nonbelievers are bound by moral laws regardless of what they say, and the laws never change. The consequences are the evidence. Morality always produces certain results which no one can defy. Sin always destroys the perpetrators. They must always conceal, deny and rationalize sin trying to avoid the consequences of justice. What people try to prevent from happening to themselves becomes the morality that applies to everyone. For example, if destroyers pretend that murder is virtue, do they want someone to murder themselves? Of course not. So murder is morally wrong. God himself cannot change what morality is, because people determine what it is in their reactions. God can only teach and judge morality, he cannot change it. How much less can destroyers change morality. Obedience | Another Angle |
