Theists, some questions

[Walking Void]

Ezekiel 22:28 (KJV)
28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken.

Jeremiah 8:8 (NIV)
8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise, for we have the law of the Lord,” when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?

I am not lying when I say I find those quotes interesting, even engaging, but we do quote different types of phrases. For instance, your quotes are of a philosophical level, not being imperative, but rather questioning. And my quote for instance (the quote from the NT) is rather declarative, even imperative. When demands are at the head, interpretation is less of a factor, "so just do it".
