ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article lies in showing that the ethics of Christians is the only true ethics and that the ethics of non-Christians absolutize an aspect of the christian ethics which includes three aspects, namely, situational, normative and existential aspect and distort the totality of the christian ethics. I follow the framework of John Frame who understands three kinds of ethical theory, namely teleological, deontological, existential ethics as an important aspect of christian ethics. I try to show how the three aspects of christian ethics are organically interrelated and that these aspects correspond to the three persons of the trinity. I hope that this framework can show the superiority and the perfectness of christian ethics compared to other non-christian ethics. This can be used as an effective apologetics to non-Christians. "If you want to live ethically, you should correct your ethical framework which shows only one aspect of true ethics. Christian ethics can be an answer to you." This apologetics should be done
