Moral Relativism

IN Morality, naturalism results in Moral relativism. If nature is all that there is, then there is no transcendent source of moral truth, and we are left to construct morality on our own. Every principle is reduced to a personal preference. By contrast, the Christian believes in a God who has spoken in His word. He has revealed an absolute and unchanging standard of right and wrong, based ultimately on His Own CHARACTER.
