Age of Deconversion

[John 6IX Breezy]

I'll just add more to my questions above.  If you would "kindly decline" to do what god ordered, what would that make you?  Sinful or virtuous?  If god handled your declination (or failure) as it handled the failure of israel to carry out it's order..what would that make god?

A being more or less deserving of worship?  A being more or less qualified to wield the power to condemn you for your own assumed human decency?  Is god the author of that human decency?  Does it expect something other that what it created?  Why...and what would that tell you about the god you worship?

If I'm right for declining then perhaps virtuous, and if I'm wrong then perhaps sinful. Moses seems to have been viewed as virtuous for standing up against God; and although I don't know the specific example you have in mind, it seems to imply that Israel was viewed as sinful for not complying. So it can go both ways depending on the specifics I suppose.

I'm not sure I understand your second set of questions, can you clarify?
