Is the idea of good and evil subjective?
You get the idea. Are the terms ‘good’ and ‘evil’ subjective or universal? There’s no such thing as objective morality. Good and evil are subjective because they can not be anything else.
What is evil’s purpose?
The purpose of evil then is the revelation of the goodness of God. God permits no evil that he will not, in the end, overrule for good. Hence, all evil will result in good before the ages run their course. Evil is a grandiloquent antithesis of God.
Are observations objective?
Objective observations are descriptions of what is observed stating the facts and details with as little interpretation as possible. The objective observer will seek to record simply what they see without offering any opinion. In this type of observation results should be the same among individuals.
Is something objective or objective evil?
Relative to our desired end, something is either objectively good or objectively evil. Once we have defined our end, we can define, objectively, good, evil, and morality (which I define as: the application of good and evil).
What is the difference between good and evil?
Having done so, within the context of that end, an action or thing (or whatever) can be considered objectively good or evil. In other words, what contributes toward reaching a defined end is good, and away from it, evil. Relative to our desired end, something is either objectively good or objectively evil.
Is murder objective or subjective?
With or without God’s decree on the morality of murder, many people consider murder to be evil. That murder is evil is a popularly- and (possibly) divinely-accepted fact relative to the subjectively-desired end of living. Hence, any discussion on objective morality must be couched within a subjective, pre-determined end.
Is there such a thing as a supreme good or evil?
It’s just that those who believe in a supreme Good or a supreme Evil merely boast either the allegiance of popularity, or the allegiance of deity. The consideration of good vs. evil is still subjective, albeit popularly or divinely accepted (or decreed). God saying that murder is evil does not make murder objectively evil.
