Drich Wrote:Morality is not true Righteousness or God's Righteousness. God's Righteousness is a sinless standard no one can achieve.As I recall, your approach to this is a form of "might makes right." That is to say, god is righteous because he is god and we're not. Or, god cannot sin because he is god, and anything he does is good/righteous by definition. Is that accurate?
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.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
