Episode 884:
Ethical and Moral Relativism is the idea that our ethical and moral choices depend on the situation we find ourselves in when we need to make these choices. Some folks believe that a persons circumstances can dictate their morality and ethics. Is this right? Can we pick and choose what morals or ethics we use in any given situation?
Sometimes we know it’s not ethical to do something, but that doesn’t necessarily stop us from doing something that’s morally wrong. Maybe we need something someone else has, but our situation is such that we think we need it more than the other person, so we steal it. Folks justify their actions by using relativism, and rationalize away the harm done.
If there isn’t a standard of conduct that folks live by, it would just be the law of the jungle, dog eat dog world. If my morals are not absolute, and I can violate them any time I want, what is the use of having morals in the first place?
Daily bible Reading: 2 Peter 1:18-21 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
