A consideration for those today who reject good & evil /conseqentialism
College today teaches false things to students. Its not based in reality. We need to show them truth.
For those who reject good & evil /conseqentialism and think more in more of a pro social attitude mindset....
If theres no consequence to your action, why wouldn't you do the action? There should be consequences.
By design your actions cant exist outside of the framework of consequences.
Actions lead to a certain outcome. By design. This is truth. It's a fact. It is reality.
Your conscience convicts you when you've done wrong, unless you've seared it. Truthfully every wrong doing, every sin IS in fact committed against God. Its not victimless. Consequences come wuth actions committed, both now and in eternity.
But you should do the right thing because its the right thing.
We were created in God's image, with communicable attributes, its written on our heart, part of our design. We are to be holy. We can no longer be perfectly holy if we have a Fallen nature; which we do through Adam's sin. So we all live in a distorted broken way. Fallen people we cant understand, cant comprehend, cant reason right, cant see truth, they are blind. It isnt until Jesus saves us that God gives us spiritual life, eyes to see, are set in our right mind, can comprehend and understand clearly. Such people God transforms into a new creation, enabling them to once again live holy, in a restored state.
Isaiah 55:8-9
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Matthew 5:48
"Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
1 Peter 1:15-16
"But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: 'Be holy, because I am holy.'"
Doing the right thing is to be pursuing holiness. God determines the right thing because it's within the character, nature, design and framework of holiness; His attributes, who He is. BUT its not "holy" pursuit if you only do it in a sinful way [to look moral, righteous, and get something out of it (look good to society, folk you want to impress, etc)]. The latter is the only way fallen unsaved people live. Without Christ as Savior they cant live holy, only a counterfiet version, giving an appearance of, while inside still being evil.

"Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord."

Romans 2:14-15
"Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them."
Romans 2:15
"They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them."

Galatians 5:19-21
"The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."
Romans 8:5-6
"Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace."
1 John 2:15-17
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever."
James 4:1-3
"What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures."
2 Timothy 4:3-4
"For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."
Romans 1:24-25
"Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen."
Isaiah 53:6
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way
