How does God's nature present an objective reference point for moral values? This requires a huge leap of faith to accept that God's nature is objective and moral. Once you accept the conclusion, the discussion is over.
It's like the old joke about the economist stranded on a desert island without food, when a can of vegetables washes ashore. Will the economist starve? Not if you allow the economist to assume there is a can opener.
If you define God to be objective and moral, you are engaging in circular reasoning and proving nothing. And who made you God to make this fundamental assumption that governs the universe for eternity? You have created God in your own image.
