There is another prevalent view today that is seriously in error. Along with Pelagianism this philosophy also attempts to give man an excuse for not trusting God. The idea: subjective realism.
Subjective realism says that there are no absolutes. There is no absolute law, no absolute values, no absolute morals, etc. In other words, standards are in the eye of the beholder.
This leads to all kinds of abuse by the majority. The majority decides what is right and wrong. That’s why pure democracies are not Biblical or fair.
People can also take this and say that you can’t have any real truth. You just look at things and make conclusions, but nothing is really the truth. Therefore you can do whatever you want, believe whatever you want, and live however you want.
The root of this philosophy is destructive to the foundation of any culture, and it is becoming more and more influential.
