For me, as you might guess, it is the Word of God. But it causes me great concern, in that if it’s not the Word of God, exactly what is it that the world, especially our Government leaders, are using for a moral standard?
This isn’t for the purpose of debate, it’s a question I would love anyone to weigh in on. Your answers may give me a reason to delve deeper into a study, scare the daylights out of me, or cause me to ponder your sanity, but I won’t judge you. At least not out loud.
What brought this on?
The latest Epstein antics that have been disclosed. I don’t read a lot of it because it is too dark for my mind to fathom and my frustration with the people involved that are free to walk around in their mansions or communities, and drive freely through the United States without one ounce of accountability makes me want to lay hands on people and not in a godly way.
Over the years most of us have heard of the pedofile behaviors of the rich and famous that are beyond revolting and deserve them to be placed in the basement of a jail without access to anyone and possibly their nether regions cut off like they have promoted for our children.
But the recent reveal of a massive batch of documents in January and February of 2026 have fueled “claims” of child sacrifice, cannibalism and baby farming. Claims are not evidence. I know that, but a Dutch Banker, Ronald Bernard’s testimony stated that he had been invited to participate in ritualistic child sacrifices abroad by individuals in the upper echelons of the financial world, which he described as “Luciferian”.
The Department of Justice noted that while they released a vast amount of material, they withheld, or redacted, materials that depicted child sexual abuse, death, or physical injury.
Redacting the names of innocent parties, I understand. Redacting the act, no… I don’t believe it should have been redacted, because how else will we know the truth of what occurred?
Is it because, the vast majority of the citizens of this Nation would rather not know, than face the reality of how evil our own country is? We love pointing fingers at other lands that have not evolved into the privileged lifestyles of Americans, when America is still committing the sins that got Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by God while Christians turn their head, refuse to call it sin in fear of offending someone who care less if they offend you.
So let’s leave that ugly, heavy topic, and take a look at our own community when it comes to the original question “Who or What is the Objective Moral Standard?”
What began as 10 Commandments is now thousands of laws that all citizens are expected to adhere to; and yet, we know that it’s not the case when even local, state and national leadership can pick and choose what they want to comply with. Where is their moral standard adapted from? It began in scripture when our Nation was formed. So whether it’s accepted or not, our moral standard was originally biblical. Now… I can’t say that it is. Because there have been many laws that have been passed that are not biblical.
So I’ll leave it there, and ask you for your opinion.
