Hi everyone. I thought some of you might be interested in reading an
awesome article that was posted at TheologyOnline.com called, "A
Christian Answer to Euthyphro's Dilemma."
http://www.theologyonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47024
In case you're not familiar with Euthyphro's Dilemma, it's a
philosophical argument that atheists like to use to claim that
morality cannot flow from God, because any absolute moral standard is
either a) arbitarily commanded by God, in which case even murder would
be OK if He said so, or b) a moral standard external to God would
exist, which would mean that some being is superior to Him.
The argument is quite popular among atheistic college professors who
want to undermine the faith of their young Christian students. This
particular answer to the dilemma proves that only the Christian deity
(a triune god) can objectively know that an absolute moral standard
exists, because of the consistent, eternal witness within the Godhead.
In other words, Allah could not know for sure that he was good.
Anyway, please check it out -- especially if you will be sending a
student off to college in the near future.
