# **Theological inquiry:** *“How does interpreting a book lead to objective morality?”*
# Christian response…
# Morality does not emanate from a Book but from the heart that has been infused with same from the moment of conception. Every man and woman, every child, has the moral law of God written upon their heart for two-primary reasons:
# 1) The protection and continuation of the species; a bulwark against self-destruction in narcissism, debauchery, lust.
# 2) So that Judgment in Eternity can manifest with equity in due process…mankind will be “without excuse.”
# So then, even if the most remote aborigine never sees or hears a Scripture, they intuitively know that murdering their neighbor is wrong and they know that stealing their neighbor’s property is wrong.
# It is the atheist that seeks to deny and refute the reality of God’s moral code etched upon our heart, but the atheist, in their nihilistic moral relativism, are also “without excuse” when they stand in the Judgment of the Condemned before the “second death” in Hell (Romans 1:18-32; Revelation 20:11-15).
