The word of God, whether personal, spoken, or written, is "perfect" and has many other admirable qualities. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away" The word of God " The word of the Lord stands forever. And this is the word that was preached to you:.
The 
W.O.R.D. is a membership by which that basic standard is the BIBLE. This standard so does illustrate moral behavior. The sayings within the Bible illustrate a base level of acceptable behavior below which it is not right to descend. It is wrong to violate the principles upon which these sayings are based.
It is important that principles are universal in nature. That is, they apply to all the peoples of the earth, for all time. They are not just local laws that applied to God's people thousands of years ago in the Middle East.
What Makes These Principles Right?
The principles of right behavior in the Bible are really universal and they are not simply opinions.
Let's first deal with this question from a non-religious viewpoint.
There are two general approaches.
- Use general ethical criteria
- Appeal to universally accepted standards
What are general ethical criteria?
General ethical criteria are guidelines for thought. They help you think about situations by answering questions. Questions to use in evaluating an act or rule include:
- Does it respect the rights of the people affected by it?
- Does it meet the test of reversibility? That is, would it be right if you were on either side of the situation?
- Does it's universal use or application produce good consequences in the long run as well as the short run, for the individual as well as society?
These questions take the approach that principles of universal standards of conduct are intellectually supportable. That is, though proper thinking you can discover those principles that ought to regulate society. But, it also recognizes that though unstructured thinking, you can justify anything. History is filled to the brim with actions that were based on faulty principles. The above questions could not be answered "Yes" to those actions.
These questions form an objective atmosphere for evaluating moral actions.
The experiences of mankind have left an impression on each of our minds.
We see wars and the oppression of one group of people by another. We see violence in our communities and political scandals in our state and national capitals.
We as well as all mankind have a sense of what is right and what is wrong.
This sense has been expressed in several ways. One way is through the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It states in part that "disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people."
This statements of rights and responsibilities goes far beyond your home or community. They were intended to apply universally to all people for all time.
