What does Deut. 12:8 express?

• A. The people will be scattered
• B. One law for all nations
• C. Every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
• D. The Lord will judge nations

Answer: (C)

This verse expresses a situation where people are acting according to their own judgments rather than following a single, God-given standard. It notes that they should not continue with everyone doing whatever is right in his own eyes, but instead should align with a unified pattern of worship established by God in the place He will choose. This highlights the move away from individual, fragmented practices toward covenant obedience under a centralized system. The other options don’t fit because the verse isn’t about scattering the people, a universal law for all nations, or the Lord judging nations.
