Legal standards are not limited to the determination and interpretation of each individual. In fact, that very statement is absurd. Humans are fallen beings so their interpretations of laws are bound to be faulty, as well. For example, many people today are claiming that under the First Amendment, abortion and gay marriage should be legal. However, as Christians, these two “rights” go against God’s word and His superior laws. Further, two individuals can see the same thing and interpret it very differently. Like two people who see the very same car accident often give diverse reports. How then can any individual’s interpretation of a specific law be held the determination for legal standards?
Even our government has a checks and balance system in order to keep from one individual’s ideas to become the legal standards. Also, everyone is accountable to a higher law. For example, a man may claim the first amendment gives him right to rape children for “his religion.” Thank goodness this is not the case! There are absolute rules despite how people try to demolish this idea of “absolute.” In addition, all people universally agree on certain stand points. If a person’s child was kidnapped, he would claim this is “unfair” or “wrong.” It does not matter if the kidnapper as an individual determined it was “okay,” what he did was wrong. This leads to the conclusion that ultimately every individual is held accountable to a SUPREME law that could only be created by a Supreme Being.
