RIGHT AND WRONG

“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work.”  (2 Timothy 3:16-17 NLT)

In a world without God, who’s to say whose values are right and whose are wrong? There can be no objective right and wrong, only our culturally and personally relative, subjective judgments. Think of what that means! It means it’s impossible to condemn war, oppression, or crime as evil. Nor can you praise generosity, self-sacrifice, and love as good. To kill someone or love someone is morally equivalent. For in a universe without God, good and evil do not exist -- there is only the bare, valueless fact of existence. And there is no one way to say you are right and I am wrong.  

-- William Lane Craig in “On Guard: Defending Your Faith with Reason and Precision”
