Moral Relativism


"What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be !" (Romans 6:1,2)

It's fashionable for Christians to condemn "moral relativism" as spiritual evil.

It's also fashionable for Christians to practice moral relativism: justifying themselves for choosing "the lesser of two evils."

The Lesser of Two Evils



Why do Christians justify "their" unrighteous politicians as preferable to the unrighteous politicians of "the other side" ?  Is it God's moral command to choose "the lesser of two evils" ?

"...why not say...as some claim that we say, 'Let us do evil that good may come' ?"  (Romans 3:8)

Why do Christians excuse their favorite politicians' doing evil on politicians promise that good ("pro-life" courts, for example) will come of it ?

God's promise to evil-doers, and those who justify them in evil, is infinitely more certain than that of the politicians: "Their condemnation is just" (ibid).
