That is a typical Christian view point.without a common understanding of both view point nothing will be accomplished. i did not say you had to agree, only that you completely understand what you are attempting to intellegently discuss. Appearently in your personal version of a intellegent discussion knoweledge of the topic is frown upon.
Quote:But you have no evidence that can support any of these elements as you believe them.How did you come to this conclusion?
Quote:So your baseline is supposition and conjecture at best. That's hardly a place to establish concrete parameters for something as absolute as "Righteousness" the state of being perfectly and infinitely Just.This is exactly why i was looking for the defination of God's Righteousness/Morality from you. You still don't seem to understand the basic division between Man's morality and God's righteousness otherwise you would not have lead with this arguement.
Quote:Morality is the principles or ideas of right and wrong, good and evil, as agreed upon by a specific culture. For example, we feel as a culture, it is immoral to impregnate a minor child. Yahweh (your God) didn't seem to think so. Nor did any of the biblical heroes that had children. As for the people... that was their culture and taking a wife the age of 12 or 13 was common.This is an excellent example of Man's morality.
Quote:But shouldn't Yahweh be more moral than that?No. God's righteousness is not based on what one does.
Do you understand this so far?
Quote:Or would you say it's Ok to impregnate children? Or are you going to present the age old Christian cop out that anything God does is right... just because he's God? A God for which we've already established that your "baseline" is a little sketchy. Such childish arguments would only lend less credence to anything you have to say.Again God's righteousness does not assign a moral value to acts. Do you understand this?
Meaning all acts are essentually netural. There are no inhearently good acts or bad acts.. It all has to do with why a person does what He does, not the act itself.
Quote:Jesus himself said it was better to have a mill stone hung from your neck and be cast into the sea rather than to harm a child. Seems he didn't mind too much when he was knocking up his own mother in the form of Yahweh... that is if you believe in the trinity of course.Even Now at the age of 13 Jews consider Childhood to be over.
