The Moral Authority and God-self

When self is the moral authority then self is also God, for all true morality comes from the one true God (See Decalogue). Self as God and moral authority will try to contort all around itself so as to fit into its own personal world vision. Any moral, philosophical or theological conflicts with that vision are rejected as “immoral” or invalid.

Sin, by definition is selfish. The moral authority/God-self person doesn’t try to conform to the world, but rather attempts to conform the world to suit him and his wants and needs.

Nothing survives a conflict with the one true God. The choices for survival are change or perish. God doesn’t change (Malachi 3:6). God is infinite in space and time (Jeremiah 23:24 and Psalm 90:2). But God also wants us all to “Choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:19).

That mean choose Him and that means we must change.

“For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye” (Ezekiel 18:32)
