Bible Question (short): God and Law |
Question (full): Dear Chuck, ........... ¶¶ When you write, "He is good because that is his nature," do you mean that the Ten Commandments are part of who he is? The Ten Commandments are external to us, and we either conform to it or transgress. But for God, is the Ten Commandments just part of his make up? ............ ¶¶ Chuck, you write, "The law establishes man's sinfulness, shows man how far he is already from the goodness of which God is the standard." You deny that the law determines man's goodness. How does your statement NOT mean that the law is the standard of goodness, that is, how can it show us how far we are from God's goodness if it is not a standard of goodness? "...the law is good..." Rom. 7:16. ......... Peace, ....... Lionstrong |
