The Absence of a Coherent Biblical Morality

The essay critiques the coherence of biblical morality, highlighting logical inconsistencies within Christian moral claims. It argues that accepting God’s authority is circular, as believers must first recognize God’s morality without independent verification. Failures of moral intuitions, Holy Spirit guidance, and contradictory biblical injunctions collectively undermine the claims of objective, coherent morality, leaving Christians without a stable moral foundation. Surveys reveal significant dissent among Christians on key moral issues, highlighting fragmentation in moral beliefs.
