@AzulCrescent ironically this is basically the philosophy of the bible
We as humans, flawed as we are, can't actually be, or even really comprehend, ‘absolute good’. It simply isn't possible.
But that doesn't stop us trying to be the best we can be, from considering our actions, from reflecting on them, and seeking to make amends when we fall short. Because we will fall short, and that's okay, what matters is that when we do we act with humility and continue to work on ourselves in the face of it.
Those that claim to be without fault though, they are truly lost. ‘and their arrogance is an abomination to the Lord’.
It's a shame so many ‘true believers’ don't understand this at all.
@purple @AzulCrescent there are a lot of people that have problems with the Bible because of the way it condones polygamy, slavery, children and family as chattel of the husband, etc. The nice parts get lost in the thundering assholes parts. (Not just Paul.)
