Morality is man's attempt to establish a righteous standard based on the sin he or the society he lives in is willing to except Incorporated into that standard.
Morality is not true Righteousness or God's Righteousness. God's Righteousness is a sinless standard no one can achieve.
Morality says: It is ok to lie to save your friend's life.
Righteousness says: it is always a sin to lie no matter what the reason.
God's righteousness is absolute, and never changes.
Man's Morality is on a sliding scale always identified by the lessor of two evils.
That said know that 'morality' is not the universal standard of good. Morality is a constantly changing to suit the the personal or civil righteousness of a community of people. What once was moral could now be considered a crime, and vise versa.
I say that to help those looking to frame questions based on "morality." Most of the time it is used an absolute standard when in fact it is not.
Excellent philosophy, how true. I can't see any fault, brilliant, very wise.
God at the top is the only one righteous. The Almighty is righteous and lesser beings work by the axiom that might makes right.
BTW Godless progress is patroned by the demon Astaroth.

In that God's righteousness is not/Can not be obtained by our efforts. It is a gift given to all who believe in the atoning sacrifice of Christ.
That means righteousness is still obtainable even if you lie to the German officer to save your friend/family.
So after saving your god's chosen people, I have to ask forgiveness for not telling the truth?? And only then do I get the righteousness? I often lied to my grandmother as a kid. I would tell her that I was going to the arcade when I was really going to play football because she was terrified that I would get seriously hurt playing that sport. There was no malicious intent in that lie ... therefore there is no sin, unrighteousness, etc etc.
If you and/or your god think there is, that's your business, but I know many Christians who do not think the way you do. Are you a true Christian or are they?
... let me just guess ...
You guys twist things to suit your own arguments or if you prefer a formal evaluation you have created a straw man fallacy rather than address the biblical definitions I have post at least a dozen times.
Sin is anything not in the Expressed will of God
Evil is a malicious intent to commit sin
Not all sin is evil but all evil is sin.

A link below of a definition in Oxford Dictionaries website I guess.

Do you not understand the point or purpose of this thread?
You can not take a popular understanding or concept and directly compare it to the standard of God. Why because it would be a dishonest comparison.
If the Standard of God has been known for 1000's of years then it would not be difficult to change the standard to suit a sense of self righteousness to persecute God.
If you are going to honestly compare a 2000+ year old understanding of God then you have to use the same comparative standard of morality.
Don't let these commies get to you, types like these gave Adolf a right headache.
