Morlity is man's attempt at said Righteousness. That makes God's express will absolute and unchanging, and yet allows man to change his understanding of 'morality' to fit whatever culture or age he lives in. In short morality' is the sin man has found acceptable to live with while True Godly righteousness is the absence of sin.
Right on the cue, ladies and gentlemen. Give this guy a big hand.

Yes. It's called a dictionary. Look it up.

is an attribute of God? Or the greek word: dikaiosynē
1) in a broad sense: state of him who is as he ought to be, righteousness, the condition acceptable to God
Actually, since in this context, we are living in the modern world and no one is talking Hebrew or Greek, the word righteous means what it does in modern context - moral. In fact, there is no indication of there being any distinction even in greek or hebrew meanings. So no, no one is trying to force any sort of understanding - being moral is what righteousness actually means.

Ah, no.. Again. Because we are talking about God, and God is only defined by the bible. Which means The nature of God is revealed only through the hebrew and greek words I provided. (not the modern english dictionary interpertation of the word in question) I established God is righteous and then defined the word in the context in which they were orginally written.
what you have done is ignored the orginal meaning of the word and context, then you supplimented your understanding of God with modern terms you are comfortable with. Again your arguement fails because you do not address God as He has been orginally defined.
