Moral Ambiguity

Moral  Ambiguity occurs when a child of God does something which seem immoral and ethically questionable but it seems to have been tolerated or accepted by God. Some examples of Moral Ambiguity is Ruth sleeping at the feet of Boaz, or Esther being part of Ahasuerus' harem. Many times moral ambiguity can be explained by checking whether there is any symbolism used, like what is the meaning of "sleeping at Boaz's feet". Or examining whether God accepted it or tolerated it or worked his will through it. E,G, It was through Leah that Jesus was born yet Leah was the result of trickery by Laban. Men's failure does not derail the plan of God. Like Jacob's and Rebecca's violence against Esau does not frustrate God's plan of "not him that runneth nor of him that willeth but of God that showeth mercy

1 Corinthians 6:18

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
