If God is the basis for morality, why is morality not arbitrary or changing?
-
God gave us the 10 commandments. Have these changed over the years? Man and culture may have tried to change them to suit their ideas of living, but at the end of the day, these commandments have not changed, they are still the same today. God never changes, therefore His morality is not negotiable
-
Simple, because God is unchanging.
-
God’s nature is eternal and unchanging, therefore he cannot change his mind or change what morality is.
-
God is constant and unchanging and constant, he does not waiver.
-
For something to b e arbitrary it has to change according to certain conditions. Kind of like an if-then statement where the IF changes causing the THEN to change as well. It makes morality completely conditional dependent on either the person or the circumstance.
According to James 1:17, God is unchanging, He is consistent regardless of the conditions we find ourselves in. Right is right and wrong is wrong, always, this will never change. The standards of morality are dependent on WHO God is, not a mood, opinion, or anything else that can change in the blink of an eye.
