God & Objective Morals

[Neo-Scholastic]

... I'll hypothetically believe there are objective morals (i.e. a standard set by an "Ultimate Judge") and now please lead the way: show me this standard.

The standard takes the form of the final judge, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. A bold statement, so let me explain. In his humanity Jesus is the Christian example of love perfected. I see a human being who endured the greatest injustice, torture and execution at the hands of evil doers. And through it all He was able love them, pray for them, and ultimately die for them. The standard them is this ability to love. A Christian compares his live to this standard. Can I demostrated this kind of love while making moral choices and making moral judgments. Now we all have role models. Muslims look to Mohommed as the 'perfect man'. Secular people chose a variety of leaders and humanitiarians as their role models. Part of the Great Commission is to point out, if we can, the superiority of using the Son of God for this purpose. Not only does He provide the example, but also judges us against the standard He set Himself as the manifestation of love-itself, i.e. "Be perfect, as I am perfect." Thus, there is no exterior source for judging whether perfect love is an acceptable standard (regardless of the form we think it takes), because there is no alternative.

You know it's all in your head when your improv apologetics has lead you to invoke panentheism as a defence for Christianity. Yahweh will strike you down for your blasphemous ways(!), or will he, Mr. closet panentheist!

Hey Fallen, it looks like I might actually be having an influence!
