when Jesus said that there are none good except for God, could that also pertain to the word moral? and if so, how could an organization of Christians adopt the term aside from an ignorance of biblical teaching?

I would assume this is just for the sake of providing Christian ethic with the self-effacing "we're not worthy" attitude more than a philosophical cliche. I probably am wrong, but that's just what I thought...

The question strikes me as a transparent attempt to find any fault with the organization, no matter how insignificant.

No, I've never sent them a penny, and I'm not particularly a Falwell fan.
