Morality is not Relative

[oppositeman]

Over the past few decades, many Christians have been slowly changing their beliefs on morality. Some have rejected any change, believing that God’s morality is unchangeable and timeless. The recent Catholic synod is an example of the schism that has taken place throughout Christianity. Slightly more than half the bishops and cardinals voted to “modernize” Catholic teaching on the morality of same sex partners who have an intimate relationship. Slightly less than half of them voted against the proposal.

We all believe that there is no new revelation after God’s word contained in the Holy Bible. Therefore God’s morality can never and will never change. So why are many Christians embracing this new “modern” morality that in essence is telling God that either we don’t care about His morality or we want Him to change His morality to suit our desires?

We all very much don’t want to think that the enemy of God and man is influencing our beliefs; but, I believe, this is what is happening. Regardless of all the rationalizations, based on twisted and deformed thinking, that is and will be presented to justify the acceptance of sin, the fundamental truth of God’s morality will remain as it always has been; even be it in the hearts of a remnant church.

We all need to evaluate our moral beliefs; judging them to be in union with God or not. If you chose to believe in a morality that isn’t what God gave to us in the Holy Bible, then you must realize that you are willfully separating yourself from God; and therefore will reap what you have sown. We must be very careful in rewriting our moral teachings so they are not misinterpreted. We all need to convict ourselves of our sin, confess, and ask Jesus for His Merciful forgiveness. For those who refuse to do this, they are denying Christ’s gift to us on the Cross. Known truth cannot be added to or changed in any way. God’s Truth is perfect.

Your last paragraph.......... Christ's gift to us is self-conviction? Really?

I thought The Holy Spirit convicted us of sin and quickened our spirits and consciences (?).

Over the past few decades, many Christians have been slowly changing their beliefs on morality.

If by "few decades" you mean 180 or more, then you're right. God gave us a standard to live by, which can be found in the Books of Moses. By the first century AD, the Pharisees had modified it so much that what was being taught was practically unrecognizable as the standard as the one God had given. Jesus corrected those modifications and showed us what the original standard was, but people started modifying it almost immediately.

I've seen this argument before and my problem with it is that it doesn't actually address anything specific. That and this argument tends to used interchangeable with terms such as subjective and situation which are fundamentally different from the meaning of relative.


What moral standards are now considered relative and which "christian" groups use these relative stances?

Exo 32:33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

Only the Holy Spirit can convict us of sin, John
John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
