DO christians really understands the concept and the arrivement of morals and who determines it, the standard.
No, we really do not.
Human idea of morality is ambiguous. Just look at civilizations in general. Many civilizations believed sacrificing humans in grisly forms of ritual murder was acceptable behavior, similar to how many of us believe in aborting unborn babies is morally acceptable as well. We base our morality on our own collective ideals and perspective, and not on a absolute standard of behavior.
Say a person throws a life preserver out to a man struggling to stay afloat in the water. That person is doing something good for them. If the man who was saved pushes the man who saved him out of the boat to get in and save themselves, we see that as evil. Yet the man in the boat may be saving others in the boat because one more person could capsize the boat. Again, its based on perspective.
But if we had a moral absolute, a rigid dogma of ethical behavior to follow along, it helps us as sinful creatures to learn to live in the spirit of God.
Do not rely on mankind's wisdom and ethics, but lean on the absolute nature of righteousness found in God and his word. As it is written:
Proverbs 14:12 "There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death."
And again it is written:
Matthew 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
