Euthyphro Dilemma

Here is the way it usually is put:

Socrates’s problem with the traditional stories about the gods gives rise to what is sometimes called ‘the Euthyphro dilemma’. If we try to define the holy as what is loved by all the gods (and goddesses), we will be faced with the question ‘Is the holy because it is loved by the gods, or do they love it because it is holy?’ (Euthyphro, 10a).
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

This was convincing to the Greeks because the pagan gods they believed in were mutable, finite, and immoral entities. This doesn’t apply so easily to the God of the Bible. The God of the Bible is a necessary, unchanging, infinite, and morally perfect being. The dilemma for the Christian becomes a false one. He can maintain both that nothing is more authoritative then God and the law is internal to God. He also may affirm that the commands are not arbitrary. The Christian would maintain that something is good if it comports with the nature of God.
