Because the Righteous standard of God is found in the bible it is best to derive one's morality from God's perfect standard.
Nice try, but the question is whether the bible is a moral book. If you say righteousness is the express will of God and that that expression takes the form of the bible, then you cannot use the bible itself to demonstrate its own morality. Are you saying that it's righteous because it says it is?
