If there is no absolute truth, I am the source of my own moral code...and every other person is the source of their moral code.

1. Who decides what is right when my moral code conflicts with another person’s moral code?
2. If there is no moral standard, why do we have guilt and shame?
3. If there are no absolute truths, why do we have laws, courts, judges and juries?
4. If there is no absolute truth, can there be any crime?

1. Do I want my friends to decide?
2. Do I want the religious leaders of the world to decide?There are hundreds of different religions.
3. Do I want the governments of the world to decide?Some governments are good...some are bad.

What about God??? "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."II Timothy 3:16, 1
