On The Box: "The so-called Euthyphro’s dilemma...You will encounter it again and again.
I say so-called because it is not really a true dilemma at all. In reality it turns out to be a false dilemma. That is to say, a logical fallacy in which two options are presented as though they are the only two available, when in fact there are more alternatives. A good example of a false dilemma would be to say: “Either the traffic light is red or it is green!” This is a false dilemma because in reality those are not really the only two options to draw from as the traffic light could also turn out to be yellow!

Atheist Central -- Ray Comfort's Blog: "Some Atheists like to make a big thing out of something I have said for years—-that when a Christian shares his faith he should 'circumnavigate the intellect.'"
Harvest Weekend Devotion for 4/2/2011: "Hope Beyond This Life"
Harvest Weekend Devotion for 4/2/2011: "Hope Beyond This Life": "Not only does the Bible tell us we will live beyond the grave, but it also tells us there is hope beyond this life. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead proves there is life beyond the grave for the believer."
Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/4/2011: "A Heartfelt Act"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/4/2011: "A Heartfelt Act": "As you read the New Testament, you can't help but notice how little it says about the major events of world history. You might think Scripture would mention Rome and all its mighty conquests. But it doesn't."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/1/2011: "A Foundational Truth"
Harvest Daily Devotion for 4/1/2011: "A Foundational Truth": "In one of the oldest books of the Bible, the Book of Job, the question is asked, 'If mortals die, can they live again?' That is something everyone should ask in life: 'What's going to happen to me when I die? What is there beyond this place called Earth?'"

Question: "What is moral relativism?"
Answer: Moral relativism is more easily understood in comparison to moral absolutism. Absolutism claims that morality relies on universal principles (natural law, conscience). Christian absolutists believe that God is the ultimate source of our common morality, and that it is, therefore, as unchanging as He is. Moral relativism asserts that morality is not based on any absolute standard. Rather, ethical “truths” depend on variables such as the situation, culture, one's feelings, etc.
