Video: God and Arguments from Morality by Chad A. Gross

This video features a talk I recently gave at my home church Faith Christian Fellowship entitled "God and Arguments from Morality."  In the talk, I present a version of the Moral Argument for God's existence, explain why relativism doesn't work and address some common confusions people have when discussing a universal Moral Law.

Here is a brief outline of the talk:

• Two Types of Relativism
• What Makes a Good Argument?
• The Moral Argument
• Every law has a law giver.
• There is a Moral Law
• Therefore, there is a Moral Law Giver
• Confusions
• "Cultures have different values so how can moral values be universal?"
• "Difficult problems in morality prove that there is no universal Moral Law."
• "Some values conflict."
• "Morality is relative to time and culture."
• How Does the Moral Argument Directly Relate to the Gospel?

Article: Seven Things You Can't Do As A Moral Relativist by Greg Koukl

In this featured article, Greg Koukl of Stand to Reason unpacks 7 things a moral relativist cannot do.  They are:

Rule #1- Relatives can't accuse others of wrong doing.

Rule #2- Relativists can't complain about the problem of evil.

Rule #3- Relativists can't place blame or accept praise.

Rule #4- Relativists can't claim that anything is unfair or unjust.

Rule #5- Relativists can't improve their morality.

Rule #6- Relativists can't hold meaningful moral discussions.

Rule #7- Relativists can't promote the obligation of tolerance.

You can check out the article here.

Can you think of anything else a relativist can't do?  Share it in the comments!

I also highly recommend the book Koukl co-authored with philosopher Francis Beckwith that deals with relativism entitled Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air.
