But the key question that is yet to be answered is whether his interpretation is better than that of the pacifists. He also implicitly rejects Bahnsen's extreme interpretation of the death penalty despite Bahnsen's two books defending his views. Again the question remains unanswered whether his rejection of Bahnsen's position has any more validity than Bahnsen's argument for his own position. However, given the great diversity of Christian moral opinion and the lack of any detailed account of how Christian ethical principles and additional reason would guide us, one must be skeptical. The only example Frame gives of how such reasoning works is surely questionable.
Abortion is murder.
Hence, abortion is wrong. Let us suppose murder is always wrong. Many Christians who are opposed to abortion in many instances would allow it in some. Frame's moral syllogism is of no help in such cases. In other cases where moral problems arise such as privacy, free speech, reproductive technology, psychotherapy, democracy, genetic engineering, and the environment such syllogistic reasoning seems even less appropriate.
