An Ethical Atheist? — Can One Deny Objective Morality and Live an Ethical Life?
Greg chats with Frank Turek of @CrossExamined about CIA, then he answers questions about what to say to a consistent moral relativist, whether a lack of persecution indicates anything about a person’s Christianity, and where the Bible says you can’t lose your salvation.

I'm a moral anti-realist. I very strongly disagree with the concept of "objective" morality. It's been working great for me so far.
Love the gentleness Greg shows with those with tender consciences. Great show 🙂
What is morality Greg, and what does "wrong" mean?
Thanks for the thoughtful discussion.
Praise Yahweh the one true God, who reveals Himself as the Trinity. Father, Son, Spirit: coexistant, coequal, and coeternal. Jesus lives ❤️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ King 👑 Repent of your sin and believe in Him to be saved to eternal life!
For it is not you that speak, but the spirit of your Father which speaks in you (Matthew 10:20):
Just as Jesus who speaks on behalf of God the Father from beginning to end, the same is commanded of all of God’s servants (John 12:49-50). In all that we do, we are to bring glory to God the Father by speaking and doing all that Jesus has taught us. As we see the power and glory of God magnifying in our lives, we are to relay these things to the whole world.
Through the Holy Spirit, we inherit the mind of Jesus Christ, who has the mind of God the Father (John 5:19-20). When we become one in spirit and agreement, we are one even as they are one (John 17:22). It is God’s spirit that dwells in the bodies of many—_Emmanuel!_ Once we become one with the mind of God the Father, only then will we return to where we originated: GOD. Amen.
