IS THERE A RIGHT & WRONG? OR IS MORAL RELATIVISM CORRECT?
As far as absolute truth, as a former New Ager, I was big into "Relativism" where no one could tell me about truth because I got to make up my own truth for me, deciding right & wrong. Whatever was true for me was right for me and what is true for you is right for you. And everyone had to respect my decision, back off, and not tell me what to do because, again, I got to decide. Nobody ever challenged me with a common sense analogy or even claiming there is right & wrong. But in fact, it is engrained in us & we do not get to decide.
Romans 2 talks about the universal moral law within
mankind from the giver of it, our Creator. An easy way to demonstrate & witness to a New Ager hooked on Relativism, believing there is no absolute truth, is a simple analogy: Ask a person to give you their wallet or purse so you can demonstrate. Then grab it & literally walk away. And I mean walk. Don't Turn around. Just keep walking away. 100% of the time, they will say, "Hey, stop!” You: “Well, why?” Them: "You've got my wallet.” You: "So?” Them: "Well, give it back!” You: "No.” They'll say something like, “That's not right." And you say, "Well, in my world I just determined it was right.” Them: "But you can't do that." You: “Well, what gives you the right to say it isn't right?"
They'll slowly figure out you are right. The Bible says it’s inherently wrong to steal or murder & God wrote His law in our hearts. Paul said no one has an excuse. We all inherently know right from wrong so we don’t decide it. So hopefully our wallet-snacking victim will make the next logical conclusion, which is: "Wait a second. That's a universal moral law. Where did that come from? It must be from the universal moral law giver. And oops; I've broken that law. I need a savior.”
