Relativism





Bible Questions Answered:
“My son is in a English and Creative Writing class and was given this problem...
You and your friend are in a row boat some 500 feet from shore on a lake. You've tried fishing, but with no luck. All of a sudden you both realize that the boat has a leak, and you are slowly sinking. Realizing that the both of you will never make it back to shore. The thought comes to you, one of you must get out so that the other will survive. Seeing how you are much larger, than your friend, you tell him, that he must get out and swim for it.

A struggle ensues, and he throws his friend out. Now the question, was this right, and the answer given, it was, due to the fact that it saved the one. What kind of teachings are these, they surely don't seem right!”
Kenneth/ Mansfield, New Jersey U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

These are teachings promulgated by schools and universities, along with some religious (schools) and institutions.

The teachings are called “relativism,” and they have been around for some time (e.g. 1966 -Fletcher).

Three categories of relativism:

Cognitive Relativism: All truth is completely relative. No mans truth is more valid than another mans
truth. There then is no valid standard of truth. (A place where there exists “No
Standard of Truth.” How would this work in science or medicine?)

Moral/Ethical Relativism: Truth/Ethics/Mores, are relative to the group of people which compiled
them.
Deep in tropical Africa, if cannibalism is practiced, it is fitting and proper as
this is their accepted mores.
Humanists would chant, missionaries, get out! Leave their culture to themselves.

Situational Relativism: All ethics formed, are based upon the situation at hand. (Example, the story
given above. It was right to save a life, even if it meant the murder of one.)

These are the mores of today's ungodly, humanists, and unbelievable as it may seem, even taught by some religious institutions.

Humanism:
A modern, non-theistic, rationalist movement that holds that man is capable of self-fulfillment, ethical conduct, etc. without recourse to supernaturalism.
(New World Dictionary Of American English)

Humanism, is NOT the view of any born again Christian, and the reason is....

There is “no-room,” in Situational Ethics/ Relativism for the Ten Commandments, or thus saith The Lord!

Moral Relativism, has in our day opened a Pandora's Box of perversions! Things once thought not even questionable, because of their debauchery, today are accepted, as “well after all, wrong (sinful) in regards too what? Just because you believe a little different? Etc..etc.)

Is this why Dr. James Dobson, several years back, cautioned all Christian families, to send their precious children to Christian schools, or home school their children? A thought all Christian people “must seriously consider!”

21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away The Law Of The Lord Of Hosts, and despised The Word Of The Holy One Of Israel.

II Timothy 4:3,4 KJV
