Ethical Issues

Zachary was asking about what would you do if you were an officer in Hitler's army. Which made me think: are there ethical gray areas in life?

Hmm. Personally, I don't believe there are any grey ethical issues in life. But... because of our fallen world, and our current fallen state, and also just as mere humans, we still find it hard to make sense of things. E.g. would you participate in a plot to take out an ungodly leader committing mass murder of millions?

Sort of like a two-dimensional being trying to comprehend how a circle can be a square simultaneously. Like how God can predestine certain people for salvation, and yet announce that "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved!"

Oh, about the 2-D being puzzling.. the answer's simple. A circle can be a square at the same time if you consider that it's a cylinder.

So... I think ultimately we have to pray to God, and obey the Bible in whatever it says. God, who sees everything from the highest perspective and the highest dimensions, is able to give the best answer for all of life's situations.

Ha. I think it's really a case of seeking and trusting God each step in the cases where He hasn't explicitly stated anything.
