Is there the infamous "grey" area?

To those who would say "There are no absolutes." I would ask: Are you ABSOLUTELY sure?

Absolute right and wrong is determined by: Whatever action causes the least suffering and the greatest good to all. This means that it will depend on an analysis of the situation; dogmatic adherence to rigid definitions will cause great suffering. We can think of millions of scenarios where this is obvious.

This is a good question? We who have been given eyes to see the truth are still on total blindness to all knowedge. Yeat there is absolute truth and absolute wrong. We know in part and thus we error in thinking any other for God alone know in fullness. You will see me asking alot of question about the baptist. From the outside many would say this guy is anit-baptist. God knows why i am asking the questions. My heart is actually right with God. I am challanging them to seek a deeper relationship with truth. So am i absolute in my conviction, yes. But am i speaking absolute truth God alone can answer that. But the spirit witnesses to me the truth of Gods word. So the absolute truth us we need him who makes the truth known he is the Holy Spirit of GOD that is why i am getting people in the baptist faith to seek Him.

no its relative. right and wrong is defined by whether someone agrees or disagrees. how can we measure someting that is relative of situation, society, or culture? whats bad here is good there. but likt one person said certain things are immoral and shouldnt be done like rape, ect. but then you hve those people ho dont see anything wrong with it, and often blame the victim (even in out society today- the woman deserved it, blah blah blah, ) and yes i am absoltley sure.

It's absolutely dependant on the situation.

Grey matter occurs in the human brain. Only kidding.
Truth is one. To declare that Truth is relative is illogical. If your truth is true, then my truth must be in error. Situations can blind ultimate Truth, but then the term truthful should not be used.
So Ultimately there is absolute Truth. Yes. God is Truth.

There's something darn near close to absolute right and wrong. But is it ever totally absolute? No.

I think that it's dependant upon the circimstances.
Between black and white are a vast variety of greys

Sure.
We humans have decided lots of things are absolutely wrong: Murder, rape, etc...
Now, there may be mitigating circumstances to some of these wrongs, but that doesn't mean we don't still treat them and view them as wrong. We do.

It depends on a situation...there is no wrong or right opinion I suppose.
