One of my friends (not just on facebook) posted a sample of the type of conversations he has with some of his wife's liberal friends. They, of course, love everything ungodly (possibly an overstatement) and try to defend their positions with illogical and irrational arguments--the only type of arguments that one can argue against truth and Biblical godliness. I commented on his post and now share my comments with you.
When one wants something he/she can find a way to justify it and, or get it. But neither the wanting or getting is justifiable in all cases. Morality is one of those cases. Morality IS and cannot be changed, whether or not one likes it. If society creates morality, which is a main feature in such arguments as you presented, then where is my voice? I am a part of society. And what right does the rest of society have to foist upon me their wishes? Is that not the very thing these people who want to redefine everything they don't like complaining about? They seem to think it is OK for them to foist their views on others--even if, as in the case of same-sex marriage (via the voting booth), the strong majority doesn't want it. If such large percentages of people in society don't want same-sex marriage, and if society (not a Deity) determines morality, then why do the critics continue on? Have they not gotten what they want, a society-based morality? And why do they want a society-based morality? Is it not so they can change it at their whim? A God-determined morality is set eternally, or until the Deity changes. For the God of the Bible (the only God there is or ever has been or every will be) to change is an impossibility for His nature is eternal and immutable. We had best thank Him for that. "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed" (Malachi 3:6). For there to be a variability in God, as there is in us, would not be a good thing. Were there, the wicked would have been cut off at the start of their wickedness instead of His waiting for a day of judgment with a view to their repentance by which they will receive forgiveness and justification and regeneration by the very God they despise, but Who loves them to such a degree and in such a way as to give His own Son, Jesus Christ, in torment and death that they might have this forgiveness and justification and regeneration. The One they hate is the One who wants them for His own children. Could and should they understand this they might have a very different attitude toward Him---and a very different eternal destiny as a result.
More could be said, but enough has been--for now.
