Bible Question: Verse 7 continues "Does the LORD take delight in thousands of rams, In ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"

Verse 8 "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"

Is this text (Micah 6:6-8)
1. refuting all external, cermonial religion in favor of internalizing our faith as a response to God?
2. saying that there are essential religious acts focus on the issues of justice, mercy and humility. Everything else is beyond waht God expects?

Which is it? Is it both? Is it neither?

After you chose, then explain.

Bible Answer: Greetings Steve,

I believe that your Option #1 is the closest to understanding Micah 6:6-8..

Micah is asking the people how they can continue in their hypocrisy by being outwardly religious but inwardly sinful in spite of what God has done for them. Verse 8 seems to suggest that the people already know the answer. Spiritual blindness kept them from offering to God what He really wanted- a spiritual commitment of the heart.
