Secondly, you've imputed a limitation to your god's powers. Do you think he was unable to teach the Israelites morality?
Thirdly, how can a perfect being experience progress?
1. That appears to be a matter of opinion. You have yours...
2. Incorrect. It's not that God was unable to teach the Israelites morality; it's being argued by me that the limitation was their ability (read willingness) to accept it all at once.
A Perfect Teacher would find no problem in so doing, don't you think?
Quote:3. I have not said that it could. Perhaps we agree but have a simple miscommunication?
So your God's morality is timeless. How then do you explain the differences between NT and OT?
