Moral relativism, the idea that moral truths vary depending on cultural or personal perspectives, is a concept that is implicitly addressed in the Bible as being in opposition to God's absolute moral standards. The Bible teaches that God's laws and commandments are universal and unchanging, as seen in Psalms 119:89, which states that God's word is "established in heaven" and therefore unwavering. In contrast to moral relativism, the Bible presents a clear moral framework, as expressed in Romans 12:2, where believers are called to discern and live according to God's will, rather than conforming to the world's fluctuating moral norms. Ultimately, the Bible affirms that God's moral standards are rooted in His character, as declared in Isaiah 5:20, where God distinguishes between good and evil, providing a fixed moral reference point for His people.
