God & Objective Morals

[Neo-Scholastic]

:..So our set of objective morals is: love...?...1) A man starts attacking me on the street late one night. It seems as though I will actually die in the assault….2) North Korea starts invading the U.S….3) You're a spy gathering intel on the USSR (back in the day) and you get caught. They tell you that they will let you go if you give them confidential information about the U.S.

Not exactly. Morality is not objective, but there is a consistent standard. Before it became a cliché, the WWJD idea had a lot of merit. For whatever you do in whatever role you serve, you will stand before the White Throne and be judged, which is actually a self-evaluation in comparison to the perfected love personified by Jesus Christ. So if you are a spy, were you a spy in the service of a cause you believed just or for the protection of the innocent, etc.? Your own judgment may be flawed if tainted by self-serving motives. But if your assessment is honest though misguided, I expect God to be merciful.

o you consider yourself a panentheist..?

Very much so! I also lean very heavily toward panpsychism, but I’ve been reconsidering that position. Process theology is interesting, but I haven’t yet made up my mind how I feel about it.
