Lets try to provide somewhat of a context here.
In the spring of 1945, a thirty-nine-year-old Lutheran Pastor was hanged in the Flosenberg Concentration camp just days before its liberation from its allies, that put an end to Nazi Tyranny. Dietrich Bonhoeffer's deep Christian faith would not allow him to sit back, and watch his beloved Germany collapse to the evil of Hitler and his party. Bonhoeffer, was a pacifist; but then he later reversed his view on pacifism, and orchestrated a plot to stop Hitler's genocide by killing him.
Bonhoeffer's plot was exposed, and the Nazi's had him executed for it.
Dr. William Lane Craig needs no introduction in philosophy.
In this video below, William Lane Craig sites, and makes- distinct and systemic differences between Objective Moral Values and Duties, and that of mere Preference, or subjective moral values.
To simplify it:
To say that something is objectively wrong, means that it is always wrong. For example: The Nazi genocide against the Jewish people is objectively wrong no matter even if Nazis thought they were right in doing so.
This deals with the ontology of Morality. Please watch this video below. While many Atheist reject Ontology of morality; many still don't. With the later, this posses a real problem for explanation.
