Introductio

What is moral? Who decides morality? These questions are among the most

controversial topics. I will be talking about these questions by comparing Divine Nature Ethics

and Natural Law Ethics. Both these ethical views have their own definition of morality and

where it comes from. I will then discuss a controversial issue in our society; abortion. My goal

is to defend the voiceless and unheard, and to be very clear about what the Bible says, along

with my own personal thoughts, concerning this issue and both the ethical views.

Natural Law
Ethic

First of all, what is the definition of Natural Law ethics? “Natural law is a theory

in ethics and philosophy that says that human beings possess intrinsic values that govern our

, reasoning and behavior. Natural law maintains that these rules of right and wrong are inherent

in people and are not created by society or court judges.”1 So, is this view dependable to

determine morality? It doesn’t appear so, and here is why. Natural Law ethics state that humans

already have it in them to decide what is right and wrong; like a conscience. But how reliable

are consciences? We see in society, politics and just how people act in general that we live by

different beliefs and views. Thieves clearly don’t follow their conscience, or if they do, then

their sense of morality is very distorted. The same goes for murderers, rapists, terrorists, and

other criminals or people who view the wrong things as right. There it is again, determining

right and wrong. With the standards and beliefs of morality varying from person to person, who

is to decide what is moral? The people who have helped the poor, given to charities, and said

the most ‘nice’ things? But who is to ‘elect’ this person as ‘head of right and wrong?’ You’re

right, no one can.

Morality is clearly a very complicated and controversial topic. Seeing that Natural

Law ethics is faulty and has a weak foundation changing from person to person, it cannot be

what defines the world’s right and wrong. So, what can? Or, rather, who can? Next, I will

evaluate the Christian ethical view; Divine Nature.

Divine Nature Ethic

The specific Christian view I chose to compare is Divine Nature ethics. This view is God

centered, or as Michael Jones describes it as, “a reflection of the ultimate good that is inherent in

the nature of God himself… Argu(ing) that God’s commands do not determine what is good, but

rather they institutionalize and communicate the good that is part of the unchanging nature of

God.”2 Let’s look at the pros of this view that we can see right off the bat in this definition; God

is at the center, it has a strong and unchanging foundation, and we have the Bible as our sort of

map to guide us through this crazy world. Though, in and of itself the Bible can’t be the only
