CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY FOR MISSIONS M.M.NINAN conflicts with the absolute principles. They will need replacement, which should be accomplished through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. What are the Biblical Absolutes? Absolutes are supracultural that have eternal validity. It is not based on any particular cultural context but can be universally applied. These principles universally valid not only on the earth but also in heaven. Two such absolutes can be identified immediately: • The Lordship of Jesus. Christ is the center of the cosmos for all ages, now and in ages to come. Anything: that takes away our focus from Jesus is idolatry. • Love of man, based on the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. Anything that brings pain, suffering or ignore to God or man is evil. Anything that brings joy and happiness to both man and God is good. You may define the absolutes in some other ways. But the basic crux of the situation will boil down to the above two. Further extending the concept of absolutes we may restrict ourselves to the context of earth and man and develop further sub-absolutes that have partial validity. 17
