“There is a kind who is pure in his own eyes, yet is not washed from filthiness.” (Proverbs 30:12)
The problem with subjective standards for morality is that when the person who has to live up to the standard can also set the standard, even the filthiest behavior becomes acceptable. Without impartial refs, the game is rigged for cheating.
The Bible is an objective standard – the Scriptures hold us all accountable to do better even when we don’t feel like we need to improve.
