What is Ethical?

So, if you haven’t noticed yet, this blog is a blog of ethics. “Ethics” is defined as “a system of moral principles.” In order for this blog to make any sense to anybody, we have to have the same definition of “moral.” So, how are we defining morals? Where’s the line between right and wrong? This is where there is disagreement on the subject of ethics. Right and wrong are determined by what one considers to be the highest authority. Many people define right and wrong by the current laws, what they feel,or natural reason. As Christians, we believe that God is the ultimate rule-maker. The Bible is the word of God given to man and passed down through the centuries. Therefore, the Bible dictates what is right and what is wrong.

You'll notice as we move along that a whole lot of these posts end up being political. Politics and ethics are directly related. Politics are essentially laws or proposed laws. Laws are designed to promote what is good. So, when there is disagreement on a law or a bill, it is because people do not concur on the ethics behind the proposal.

As you read this blog, I believe you will notice how this esoteric idea of "ethics" impacts far more of the world than you would think.
