You know very well what was being said there, and yet instead of answering that you launch into this nothingy little rant about what words should mean.

Just reply according to intent in future, honestly. Not everyone needs to speak your twisted up version of the english language.
So your wish is that i promote the ignorance you all have surrounded yourself with in order to try and convict God? By your slanted measure, Of Course God does not meet the standards of this generations popular morality, because it is a substandard standard.

To answer your questions base on the definations derived from pop morality is to only confirm the valitity of the straw man you have created to get your conviction.
That would be a fools errand. If it is the God of the Bible we are speaking of, then it is by the bible we will describe and define God, and all of the attributes of God you choose to discuss. Otherwise you are just make up your own versions of God up, and attacking the strawman of your own doing.
What an empty victory that must be.

Quote:Now, to continue the discussion, you're essentially advocating divine command here, right? Whatever god says, goes?
Yuup. even if it means we must forgive the ones who have done us wrong to help our enmies, to give our hard earned money to the underseving, to seek and love those who despize and hate us. to seek out those who do not know God and teach those who think they know more than any christian that has ever lived, To up root our families from Mod cons and remove them relitive safty of a good place to live to minister to those who have less... Even if it means doing each and every one of these counter intuitive things, it is still whatever God says goes.

Quote:So you have no morality, then (no sense of "righteousness" if it helps you.)
I do, we all do for all are self righteous to one degree or another. The determining factor is the question. Does our self righteousness/morality rule our lives or do we yeild our 'morality' to God's stated righteousness and seek forgiveness for our short commings.

Quote: Nothing is beyond your scope of reason, so long as god commands it? If he commanded you, personally, to murder children, but alters nothing else about the world, shows himself to nobody else, only you, you'd do it?
Because this 'personal revelation' is deemed a sin by the NT (Which is why I said no Christian would burn witches) I can spit in the d-bags eye pretending to be God.

Quote: Even though this divine edict will, to the outside world, seem nothing but abhorrently evil?

Would you do it?

Now If I were an OT Jew in the situation Psalms 137 describes, and was told to smash babies against rocks, I would wear myself out and sleep good having done so. Angel

...even if the rest of you retained the same 'morality' you currently enjoy.
