How to Explain the Moral Argument When People Bring Up Slavery and Genocide
Description
Greg and Amy outline the moral argument, which shows that objective morality points to God as the transcendent lawgiver. They explain that God works with fallen cultures incrementally. Examples like allowances for divorce or regulations on slavery show how God’s laws addressed hardened hearts without endorsing sin. Over history, societies have moved closer to or farther from God’s ideal, showing moral progress and decline. This clarifies why we cannot impose modern moral expectations on ancient peoples while still affirming the reality of objective morality.
