Should non-Christians share our morals?

  • Should we expect non-Christians to share our morals?
  • Is conscience universal, and if morality comes from God, why would only some commandments register with people?

The hosts read and argue with the Christianity Today article 'We Should Expect Non Christians to Share Our Morals,' written in response to the June 2015 Supreme Court same-sex-marriage ruling. They reject its premise: America is not Israel, Jonah-style prophetic rebuke targeted knowing God, conscience is real but not universal (guilt hits unevenly), common grace explains some shared norms, and they dispute the claim that all authority is God-ordained. A host defines 'evangelical' for listeners. Conclusion: expecting non-Christians to live like Christians is misguided; disciple-making, not culture-war law-making, is the assignment.
