Christian Club OOC

here are some random notes from my religion: moral theology course that i take for school. it had some good points so i figured i'd share!!

all our actions should be directed towards doing the Will of God. God does not change. The standard by which good and evil are measured do not and will not change – is absolute
doing the will of God is the guiding principle of the moral life.
Everyone agrees that they want to be happy. Fall into sin and away from God = unhappiness
the ultimate goal of morality is happiness through union with God in heaven. True happiness comes only from union with God.
Only in faithfully doing God’s Will can we find true meaning and happiness in our life
Jesus Christ is both God and Man. He is one person, a divine person, with two natures – human and divine. Therefore He has two wills – His human will, and His divine will.
just like living a morally good life is inseparable from doing the Will of God, the spiritual life is inseparable from the moral life

and their like vocab ish section:

moral life: the path by which we walk towards God or away from Him.
standard of morality: by which moral good and evil are measured is the Will of God and ultimately God Himself
absolute vs. relative: absolute = unchanging and universal. Relative = changing according to the situation
objective vs. subjective: objective = universally the same for all persons, time, places, and cultures; subjective = relative to one’s own personal preferences or philosophy, the historical period in which one lives, the part of the world where one lives, one’s cultures, and so on
ultimate goal of morality: happiness through union with God in Heaven
the meaning and purpose of life: to know, love and serve God so that we may be happy with Him in heaven

with that, i hope everyone is having a blessed monday! have a great week i'll keep you all in my prayers

I'd appreciate prayers for clarity over my call to ministry and how that will look for me. I've got some big decisions to make fairly soon.
