- 2) Read the following & then answer the questions below:
- - “The Office of Weights and Measures promotes uniformity in U.S. weights and measures laws, regulations, and standards to achieve equity between buyers and sellers in the marketplace.

Moral Absolutism: Study Packet, Page 2
- Defined: The belief that ethical rules exist that are true:
- - for all people,

- The philosophical view that goes w/this ethical view:
- - Absolute Truth:
- - - The belief that truth is complete, total, unlimited, & free from imperfections.
- - Truth is always true, no matter what.
- So, what is the benefit of having an absolute standard of right & wrong? (think about what we learned in the journal)

- Some Key Terms:
- - Hallow: An old English word for a "Saint," which is a biblical nick-name for a Christian (a holy one)
- - Eve = The day before
- - - Like “New Year’s Eve” or “Christmas Eve”
- November 1st: This was recognized as All Saints ("Hallowed") Day

- - Present: Most have forgotten this meaning
- - - But some still celebrate this

- - “Hallows Eve” became “Halloween“
- - Many non-Christian worldview ideas (especially from ancient European religions) are now celebrated on this day
- - - These religions had a different holiday on October 31

Happy Reformation Day (Reformationstag)! On this day in Christian History…
- In 1517, on October 31, Martin Luther (a German monk)
- - Having just newly read & understood what the Bible said…
- - Posted a list of 95 things the Christians did that were against God’s Word
- - This led to…
- The Protestant Reformation: A correction of the Christian churches to follow God’s Word & not man’s tradition for knowing God, daily life, & getting to heaven.
- The Reformation was largely moved by 4 new understandings, known as the ‘4 Solas’ (Sola = Latin for 'alone' or 'only')
- - Salvation by grace alone!
- - Salvation is through faith alone!
- - The ultimate authority in our life (for the knowledge of God & what He expects from us) is by Scripture alone!
- - All that we do is to be done to the glory of God alone!
