What is it called if a country can’t agree on what’s right and what’s wrong? It’s called moral relativism, and unfortunately, it is the order of the day in most of the world, including the United States.
Apologist and author Alex McFarland discusses the danger of moral relativism. He shares an example of the moral degradation of our culture is in the realm of sexuality, including homosexuality.
“This is detrimental, this is dark, this is wrong, and yet the White House and the culture that goes along in lockstep, it’s so disconcerting because the body counts are the lives of the people involved in homosexuality, transgenderism, gender dysphoria.”
Our culture has begun to readily accept many different types of behavior once considered to be inappropriate, regardless of obvious negative ramifications.
“The people that give themselves to sexual deviancy will die, 20 to 25 years sooner than their heterosexual counterparts, that is a documented fact.”
According to Alex, we have to ask ourselves an important question in light of this fact.
“Besides the history of the Western world, besides the Word of God, besides the conscience of man, why would the White House be promoting a lifestyle that’s more than twice as likely to kill compared to cigarettes?”
If we truly loved someone, would we encourage someone to participate in something that has been proven to be detrimental to them?
“Let’s say you’ve got a tumor, and the doctor says, ‘the tumor could be life-threatening, but if I were to make an incision that would hurt, you know what, I don’t want to hurt him so I’m not going to address the tumor.’ I mean, that doctor would lose his license.”
Instead of going with the flow, as Christians, we should stand against what we know the Bible says is wrong, even if our culture says its right. We know that morality is not relative; morality doesn’t change from year to year or from person to person.
