Yeah that’s a good question. I would have thought both of those options would mean that morality was objective still? Even if the objectiveness seemed pretty arbitrary and we could ask why.
From my perspective the morality stems from who God is, and is baked into the fabric of the universe. From a biblical perspective on one level God “is” love, and truth, and wisdom, and the universe came out of that objective reality. Then there is no other morality that exists.
Understanding and living by that morality though is a while nother matter.
I feel a bit like a kindergarten student here, to I should probably just be quoting some boss theologian...

Oh yeah for sure, I think my argument (if right) means more that being a Christian/theist doesn’t let you skip any steps, you still have to argue why morality is objective.
But I think the God = love, truth, wisdom = objective reality thing might sneak you out of Euthyphro. Not sure, and also not a boss theologian lol.
