- Situation ethics as a guide to making moral decisions
- Jesus appeared to follow situation ethics as he thought the old testament was unloving
- Jesus healed a man on the Sabbath even though it was outlawed in the Ten Commandments
- It is wrong to ignore the consequences of your actions. Do what will produce good results.
- Christianity is a religion of love and forgiveness - Christians should make decisions based on love not law
- Jesus' most important statement was the golden rule : love God and love your neighbour as yourself
- This shows Jesus wants people to do the most loving thing
- God would not have given laws in the Bible if they were not to be followed
- We should follow what other Christians agree is the right way behave - Bible, Ten Commandments etc
- A person can never know all of the acts and they do not know what the results of their action will be
- The Church knows better about what decision should be made - not a person's own idea
- Jesus appeared to follow situation ethics as he thought the old testament was unloving
