This is a concept that I feel the majority of Christianity would consent to. Especailly, considering that God has comanded X and thus we better follow X or we are going to be in a whole lot of hell. If it is true that God has commanded X and that X must be followed by all mandkind, then I think that there is a problem with our conception of God’s omnibenevolance. While, I do agree that God has encated certain comandments that act as “covering commandments” like: Lying, Adultery, Stealing, etc, I do not agree, however, that ALL of God’s commandments are objectively based. The reason I state this is that if God were to demand that all creatures follow X regardless of their values, cultural teachings, mental limitations, or spiritual preparedness, then it follows that God is not acting benevolently. The reason for thins, is that God–being a benevolent God– would not desire that there exist misunderstanding, incomparability, or problems with keeping his commandments do to any relativistic situations. He would, thus, have to command X according to what the person can understand via an individual basis.
