Situational Ethics
The Jews during the Inter-testament period had a great division.
1.
Those who believed you worshiped God by using *your mind,* centered on understanding His word.
2. Those who believed you worshiped God by using *your heart,* centering on letting the Spirit speak to you.
Any time you teach unbiblical and unbalanced view it will produce disaster in the next generation.
When they reject God’s word.
God allows them to believe a lie.
The Jews moved from the Biblical teaching to a false Religion
They placed the emphases on salvation by works.
Only Jews could be saved, and only if you keep all the laws, But they changed the laws.
Throughout history we have repeated this error again and again just in different forms.
The dark ages came about because of this teaching again in the church.
Today we have the same division.
1.
Those of us who would say the word of God is the absolute authority
2. Those of us who would say the Spirit spoke to me.
All thru history there has been a battle:
Unless we understand the history of the Past, HIS Story, the story of JC and the battles that have been fought and many lost we will not understand what is going on today.
We will repeat the same mistakes
The study of the NT is import to know how to present the gospel in a Secular world.
Read.
Luke 1:1-4 Acts.
1:1-3
*We live in a Secular, Global, Post-Christian, Pluralistic age.*
*18th Century The Bible was Killed*, Higher criticism (Graph Wellhoushen destroyed the Bible)
*19th Century God was Killed*.
Science became god; There is no supernatural, no angels, no demons
*20th Century Man was Killed *Life has no meaning, no purpose to life
We live in a Secular anti absolute age.
Secular is opposite of Religious
J.C. is not in stage center, he is not even allowed on the stage.
You may cures his name but not mention it in prayer or in honor.
You can speak of Allah, or Buddha, or other religions but not of J.C.
The secular age did not start with Michael Angelo because he painted nudes according to Tim LaHay.
*IN THE 18 TH.
CENTURY = THE AGE OF REASON* = the Battle of the Bible.
The battle of Nature VS the Bible
The Bible of nature was substituted for the Bible of God’s Word.
Thomas Pain popular book = claimed to do away with revelation and you therefore have the age of reason.
You discover morality by looking at nature, what more do you need than that.
They were sure they didn’t need the Bible; Human nature would lead them to truth.
The destruction of the churches in Europe.
Why go to church if you are told from the pulpit that the Bible is not God’s book.
God is only the making of weak men.
God did not make man we evolved.
Weak men made god because they had a need.
The Bible contains errors and contradictions.
*IN THE 19 CENT THEY KILLED GOD*
Darwinism.
The big animals eat little ones.
The survival of the fittest.
Nietzsche “The anti-Christ” He claimed man must be opposite Christ
Christ appeals to the lowly, the weak, the needs, we must be strong.
*THE 20TH CENT = THE DEATH OF MAN, THE DEATH OF TRUTH*
If man is just an animal= then act like an animal
There are more inhumanities to man in this cent.
Than any other
Man as no worth, except what man decides
A baby is a glob of cells to be destroyed if it is the wrong sex of might interfere with the parent’s pleasure.
The murderer is of worth-he can’t help it he is the way he is its society’s fault he is a social animal and acts that way because the way his environment raised him, he needs another chance.
In order to establish the value of man you need God the creator’s view.
If there is no God, then as Shakespeare said “history is a tale told by an idiot.”
*Existential despair*= Indifference, Indifference to social problems of others, indifference to truth because truth is subjective, every person has to find their own truth and your truth is different than my truth.
The late 1800’s the view was man is evolving and man will bring in a 1000 years of perfection.
There will be no wars, The League of nations will prevent future wars.
In every way and every day man is getting better and better.
We do not need God we have science and it will solve all our problems.
! WW I destroyed that myth
Man went from optimism to despair.
The secular man today believes there are no answers.
Only opinion.
But he is confronted by various options.
He is overwhelmed by isms.
Scientific rationalism, Atheism, Marxism, cultism, Eastern mysticism, Islam, Zen, Hinduism.
No one is wrong.
No act is wrong, what ever

What produced Situational Ethics?
Incorrect Theological emphsis.
The father of Situational Ethics was Joseph Fletcher
#.
God loves you and you are to love one another.
#.
We do not need God’s law.
We are to live by the law of love.
#.
Ill.
Women in prison get pregnant by a guard and is thus able to go home to her husband and family, therefore it was not sin because what she did had the greatest good for the greatest number of people.
#.
The 1960’s free love free sex no commitment movement
#.
No one can tell you what is right for you or wrong for you
#.
Every person does that which is right in his own eyes
#.
Do not judge, “Judge not lest you be judged”
Without love you have a form of anarchy
Result there is no standard but love
This was the result of the Liberal movement pushing one doctrine and one of God’s Characteristics to extreme.
Question is God’s main Characteristic Love?
Or Mercy?
Or Holiness?
With their emphases on love you have no standard, no fences.
Nothing is every right or wrong, it all depends.
Out of this came *Liberation Theology*
Social Justice
They took Jesus words and comments about the poor to extreme
The emphasis was Jesus loves the poor, and the rich stand in judgment.
God is on the side of the poor.
Therefore the rich are to help the poor so they may rise up against their oppressors and overthrow them.
