Trolley driver, Edward, has to make a decision. He can either let the trolley run its natural course and kill five people or pull the switch to turn and kill one person. What should Edward do? As a Divine Command Theorist, I believe one should do as God commanded, Jesus being the one and only God, I believe the right thing to do is pray. The first thing I would do is worry, and God says not to worry but pray and God will grant you what you need (Phil. 4:6-7). I also know the God I serve; He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly all that I could ever ask for (Eph. 2:10). So in my prayers I would ask God to deliver these people from death and believe He will. Jesus assures us that we can have what we ask in prayer if we do not doubt (Matt. 21:21-22).
             So in Edward's situation one simple prayer could change his situation around. And I could go on and on and on about what the possibilities could be but God's thoughts are higher than ours and also His ways (Isaiah 55:8-10).
             The first objection to the Devine Command Theory is how does one know what God commands. Simply put it is revealed through the bible. The bible is the true Word of God. In receiving Jesus as your Savior, the Messiah, God gives you the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our Counselor, He will guide you into all truth. He will reveal to you secrets about God. Through the Holy Spirit we know that the bible is the truth, and we believe the bible(John 16:5-15). All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
             In considering the Divine Command Theory, philosophers come to the conclusion that either (a) God commands certain things because they are right or (b) certain things are right because God commanded them. If we roll with option (a) right and wrong would be independent of God. This is false. God is ...
