As is usually the case, I ...I love your ramblings.<br /><br />As is usually the case, I agree with you (with possibly a few qualifications/defining of terms nit-picking). I also affirm your statement that God seems hands on and uses experience to teach and guide. Usually in Christian ethics we call this perspective the existential perspective of ethics (not to be confused with S. Kierkegaard philosophy). According to John Frame, the existential perspective is the inner motivation for ethical decision making. Yet the existential perspective you highlight, while legitimate, is only one of three perspectives. The other two are the situational perspective (redemptive history like the Israelites in the desert, the situations in which we make ethical decisions), and the normative perspective (the Law - commands, exhortations, clear-cut rules, etc.). All three must be preached and taught for a balanced Christian outlook.<br /><br />I think you're a highly intelligent man, Dave.
