One Standard of Good

One Universal Standard

Across cultures, generations, and labels, humanity has encountered fundamental choices between truth and deception, love and hatred, justice and injustice, compassion and cruelty, helping and harming, good and evil.

The Philosophy of ONE teaches that universal and timeless characteristics and principles of good and evil transcend our human labels.

Goodness is greater than labels.

God established fundamental expectations for human living based upon universal and timeless principles of good and evil. These principles have always been available for human beings to recognize, learn, embody, and practice.

Greater Than Our Labels

These principles matter more spiritually than the human labels we carry. A person's religious identity should never become an excuse for evil. Likewise, someone possessing a different human label should never prevent us from recognizing the good within that person.
