Meaning a righteousness not from God but derived and supported by the individual or society.
If man does not have to define himself by an absolute/prefect standard then he can do as he wishes and justify his own actions and still be found righteous in his own eyes/eyes of peers.
That way he does not have to bow to God.
It's not about what is best. it is about what is best for me/you.
There has been much debate among the faithful over what Gods standard *is*. You yourself have explained numerous times that you believe your interpretation of that standard to be the most accurate. That the majority of self-proclaimed believers all over the world simply have the wrong idea and either have misinterpreted or have not studied The Bible in the correct translation. From that perspective their crime is not lack of faith but lack of knowledge or insight. There are plenty of people making every effort to bow but you have repeatedly argued in the past that you are one of the few bowing in the correct way.
Is this how a perfect being communicates something it thinks important? It would seem less than effective.
The above statement is a strawman and a complete evade of what i just said. do you want to address what I said or segway into this somehow? what about a concession.. Because your current response does not address what I've said here or have been saying in any way shape or form.
