re: #613 freedom_fighter

You believe that living a good life and being kind and generous to your fellow man, while “commendable (especially from a human viewpoint)” is like “filthy rags” to a righteous God?

What Jimmah (#621) said.

I honestly don’t know what god you worship and wouldn’t want to. But the prophet Micah explained it to my people this way:

It has been told you, O man, what is good and what the Lord requires of you: only to do justice and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

By your standards, Micah’s God obviously wasn’t a “righteous God.”

Now I guess you can claim this exhortation was later superseded by something else or that we should only take the last commandment seriously and ignore the first two or find some other way to layer on your own interpretation of these words. But you obviously don’t accept them at face value, even though “God’s word is true and it never changes” (— G. Purdom).
