No its not just an opinion that God gives objective morals.
God isnt a sinner, so that makes His standard Objective. His standard is absolute and unchanging. Ours isn't.
I'm just asking why in your opinion you think you have a better basis for condemning what is wrong than any atheist has. Whatever it might be, it still seems to be your opinion vs ours.
No it isn't my opinion. It isn't based on my opinions. It is based on God's Word in the Bible and what He says is right and wrong, not what we say.
God created us, so He has the right to hold us to His moral standard.
From its first verse, the Bible asserts, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). Because God created us and made us in His image, we belong to Him and are obligated to live according to His standard or face His judgment.
If a fellow human were to arbitrarily decide what morality involves and impose his standard on us, we could say his morality is subjective, according to his personal preferences and beliefs. But because God created us, He has authority over us and has the right to hold us to His standard. We inherently know this ultimate standard of right and wrong because God has written His law on our hearts (Romans 2:15).
God’s moral standard flows from His unchanging nature, so His standard is absolute.
God cannot sin, so His standard is objective.
God’s moral standard flows from His unchanging nature. Because God’s nature is perfect and holy, He cannot sin, so His standard is objective. It is impossible for God to contradict Himself or act inconsistently with His own nature (2 Timothy 2:13).
This is from an article that has an objection raised by an atheist, who is making a very similar objection that you are making. I would like to be able to present it to you.
