The article attempts to provide a fresh take on living out the Christian faith, but its premise seems flawed and overlooks important points...Or I may have misunderstood it.
The idea that there’s no one set of moral rules could eventually lead to moral relativism, where right and wrong CAN become subjective.
Christianity however, teaches timeless truths in God’s commands, which guide our lives and which we are required to be subject to, thus often making our individual existence a “project” of repentance and reformation. In fact, early Christianity was called "The Way," emphasising a clear path.
The resurrection isn’t just about embracing life—it’s about transformation and living according to God’s will.
The article also misses the fact that 'this world' is a fallen world, not the ideal God intended. Dismissing clear moral principles weakens our dependence on God and undermines Scripture’s guidance, pushing us toward self-reliance and subjective interpretation.
The article seems appealing at first, for its promise of freedom through personal decision-making, but actually it risks leading believers away from the moral truths found in Scripture, much like Eve was lured.
Lastly Matthew 5:48 says —“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect"—encourages us to strive for moral perfection in alignment with God’s will, directly contradicting the article’s claim that we shouldn't seek a "best possible way" or moral rules.

I appreciate the reminder, today.
