Moral Relativism and Logical Fallacies

• No one can consistently deny the law of non-contradiction

• Everyone promotes a particular point of view. The issue is ‘which one is correct’?

• All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. 2 Tim 3:16 [ESV]

The Law of Non-ContradictionA Kiwi example

• "Fundamentalists, be they Muslim fundamentalists or Christian or Jewish fundamentalists or left-wing extremists or right-wing extremists, they've all got something in common and that's their intolerance of those who disagree with them."

Critique

• The statement claims that biblical claims are ‘intolerant’ yet clearly is intolerant of Christianity!

• Christians are labelled ‘fundamentalists’ yet the statement makes ‘fundamentalist’ assertions.

Critique

• A false comparison is made between Christianity, Judaism and Islam. No account is taken of the important differences – the authority and completeness of the scriptures, the Trinity, the deity of Christ, redemption, assurance of salvation, etc.
