InevitablyReformed
Puritan Board Freshman
Accordiing to this theory (Plato's?) Christians must either adhere to what is right 1) because God commands it (therefore the problem of arbitrary commandments) or 2) God commands only what is right (therefore, there must be a standard that exists outside of God to which even He must adhere).
Obviously, this theory is not predicated on an accurate understanding of God and His holy character. Which is to say, those that assert this theory are merely knocking down a strawman.
Thoughts on how to deal with this issue with precision?
(BTW, this topic is going to be discussed in my military ethics class at school later this week.)
Thanks.
