st
Century era of subjectivity, an age when relativism prevails, the common
relativistic rubric is, "It’s just a matter of opinion." In other words,
you can decide what is good or bad… so you can be like God.
However, that
is not the biblical perspective. There may be differences in tastes and
preferences, but we are called in His Word to apply godly weights and
measures to judge the righteous judgment and live according to His will.
One person may
like a colonial home and another a ranch house, but a building inspector
can determine the quality of lack of quality of the workmanship. Is the
house well constructed? Do the joints hold together? Are there leaks in
the roof? Are the windows seated properly? Are there any doors?
There are the
standards of drama and film production by which we can evaluate the
quality of the workmanship of a movie. And, there are godly standards
that should be applied to analyze the theology, worldview and philosophy
of a piece of literature or a movie.
Of course,
beyond the physical, spiritual and psychological quality of the
workmanship which can be judged by applying godly weights and measures,
it is a matter of taste.
