Yes and the Bible would be mine, As such, the Bible becomes my source of morality because the Bible is the very Word of God in written form. If the Christian wants to know God’s will, he turns to the Bible. If the Christian wants to discern right from wrong, he turns to the Bible.

What happens if a Christian doesn't turn to the Bible as his or her source for morality? There are many ways to answer this question, but the bottom line imo is we all tend to trust our conscience, whether implicitly or explicitly. The human conscience can be likened to an alarm system; it warns us when we transgress our moral standard. The catch is our conscience is only as good as the moral standard that informs it. If it’s not the Bible, then we inevitably inform our conscience by various other means.
