ETHC101 Liberty University the Consequentialist Metaethical Theories Paper PLEASE READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY!!! No MORE THAN 600 words.

PLEASE READ UPLOADED DOCUMENTS!!!! My previous Discussion Board is uploaded so that you can refer back to what my view were.

Applying my Ethical Theory

Thread: For Discussion Board Forum 3, you devised your own approach to metaethics. Now it is time to see how well it can be applied to actual issues. Your assignment for this week’s Discussion Board is to briefly remind us of your approach to metaethics (this should only take a few lines) and then apply this approach to one of the issues in applied ethics that were discussed in the reading assignments. These issues ranged from familial problems through pacifism, poverty, the environment, business ethics, healthcare, sexuality, and life and death. Pick whichever one interests you most and in 500-600 words apply your metaethical theory to some aspect of the issue that was discussed in the reading in order to demonstrate what the moral approach to the issue is.

Be sure to carefully define your terms. You are encouraged to support your position with rational arguments, fitting examples, and expert sources. Any quotes or information used from sources other than yourself must be cited using footnotes in current Turabian format and will not count towards the total word count.

You will be penalized for falling short or exceeding the word count. This is a university-level writing assignment and therefore it must be carefully proofread, free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Do not use slang, emoticons, or abbreviations (as if you are texting or sending an email to a friend). ETHC 101

My Ethical Theory- Discussion Board Three
One of the building blocks of a good life is morality. Many people have a certain measure
that determines what is good and bad according to certain principles. For instance, Christians
reflect their life by following God’s rules. The rules act as a set of guideline that one can use to
determine whether their actions are acceptable or not. Every Christian is required to read and
interpret the Bible correctly in order to gain understanding and consciousness that can guide the
person to avoid bad behavior. However, to be able to distinguish between what is morally good
and wrong, there must be knowledge acquisition that helps the person to have instincts that give
a second thought before doing the intended action.
For instance, the consequentialist metaethical theories are based on past experiences and
the consequences that might happen after doing a certain thing. This helps the person to have the
ability to distinguish between what is morally upright because of what will occur after the
actions. However, since Christians depend on the Bible as guidance on what is morally upright,
consequentialist metaethical theories act as an additional theory because it makes the person
aware of the outcome of their actions. Christians do believe that through God manifestation in
their own lives they can be able to stand firm and distinguish between what is morally wrong.
For God to reveal Himself to the Christians, they must believe and have strong faith in him as the
lord and savior of their lives. The teaching of God is based on the truth and they seek to help
people to live in a morally upright society. It’s through the resurrection of Jesus Christ that
Christians should have faith in the word of God because it had already been prophesied that He
will overcome the power of death.
However, Christians must interpret the Bible correctly in order to get the right meaning
of every concept and God’s purpose towards it. One of the major mistake associated with
Christians is interpreting the Bible in the wrong way hence leading to actions that contradict the
nature of God and the community at large. The Bible should also be interpreted depending on the
moral issue involved. Christians should be knowledgeable enough to identify ethical dilemmas
that are not discussed in the Bible for the purpose of interpretation from other verses. For
instance, Christians should advocate for peace between people and the correct ways to solve
conflicts that might arise among the people. The reactions and examples used in the Bible should
act as a guide to all Christians on how they should respond to ethical dilemmas. Virtual ethics
entails the observation of different role models in order to determine the right way to respond to
moral dilemmas. In the Bible, Jesus acts as a good role model because His actions direct
Christians on how they should handle different situations. The theory of utilitarianism can be
displayed in the context of the Bible through the death and resurrection of Jesus. He died for the
sake of humanity which shows people that they should sacrifice their ambitions for the peace and
well-being of others.
