I wish I was able to see this entire presentation.
Can man be objective and moral enough without God guiding and directing? The answer is no.... for he doesn't take into account his own desires and what he has been subjected to by society...
For what was wrong before in society is now all right -then what is to say what is wrong now will be all right later? Where is the line of right and wrong if it keeps on changing?
God doesn't change and either does His line of right and wrong. What is acceptable and justifiable and moral by man is not the same as what God thinks as acceptable and justifiable and moral.
As I thought about this more throughout the day. God has shown me it is an issue of society wanting to be self-sufficient -without God. This is the same issue that came up in the Garden of Eden and caused the fall of Adam and Eve.
Subjective moral reasoning is based on what you are subjecting yourself to. If it is the fallen understanding of the world we are subjecting our reasoning to -then we are terribly wrong. We are essentially cursing ourselves by believing in something that isn't at all true.
A person may believe based on comparison to others that they are qualified to get into heaven based on their idea of goodness. When in fact the only way into heaven is through Jesus Christ- through whom we are saved and gain the mind of Christ.
Self-sufficiency, is the absence of God in ones life.
“Who can say, “I have cleansed my heart; I am pure and free from sin”?” Proverbs 20:9 NLT
