  • @mrsungles Christ is superior in virtue than all law The moral lawgiver came to prove God cannot be reached by moral laws. God is superior to all morality He is perpetual self existing Life a Virtue never suspended, like law is.The law came by Moses grace and truth came by jesus Christ, law is not ultimate grace or truth

  • @shieldsff Every proof I have I achieve the same way you achieve your asuumptions. I belive the Bible maybe you don't. But you believe words and assimilate them and conclude it is a type of faith. I believe God is superior than all morality being free which all morality is not.I never said God is immoral I said morality is less than the describtion of whom God is in holy character. If you read my note you would have seen this.God in the bible is not law or morality. but virtue supreme

  • your assertion makes no sense..You have no proof for why the God of Christianity is not inherently moral or moral in His actions. Just because a set of moral propositions are equivalent some other set of morals does not, logically,entail that they are "immoral" (Plato,in fact, asserted that all (good) moral virtues are one). Also, in a legal sense, your argument lacks "standing".For you to accuse God of being immoral, presupposes you possess absolute,moral objectivity- no human does

  • God is moral. If he is our moral law giver than he himself must be moral. What do you think Jesus displayed when he came here. He is the standard, and all that is moral and good. When Christ came, he showed us how moral and good God is, and how we fall short of that standard.

  • The Christion God is not moral. God gave a law of morality that was not equal to His Nature.This mistake of God good and holy by law is one of frustration Not an identity to be achieved by believers in Jesus Christ.God is superior to His revelation found in law. God is perpetuaal virtue not equal to His law. The law was always one of frustration and inadequecy The ten commandments are not who God is equally or by antithesis.God is a Virtue that can only be described in transendence to all morals

  • Thank you very much for posting this.
