Teleogogical Approach to Ethic

 

The Greek word "Telos" means "end." Teleological ethics deals with the result. It is goal- or aim-oriented ethics. The rightness of an act is determined by its end. In other words, man should orient his actions in the present while keeping an eye on the end. It is also called a utilitarian approach. (The useful is the good.) "What is good?" is the question asked in teleology. In Aristotle’s view, there is a teleological dimension, which is happiness. In the common cultural understanding, good is pleasure, welfare, and prosperity. A better tomorrow is the aim. This approach is concerned with the highest good or final goals of life, toward which persons should aspire.

He will not leave to punish who are doing sin against God. Traffic police can be irresponsible janitor because he takes bribes to hide the mistake of people . God never to do that, he will not hide anyone’s sin and evil work but judge it righteously. Habakkuk 1:13 says’ your eyes are too pure to look on evil and you can’t tolerate wrong.

God is not unscrupulous janitor so he judged Christ and destroy the sin saved the...
