“I have no clue what your definition of “sole unique righteous authority” encompasses. Your use of “righteous” gives you away. I bet anything you think you are going to sneak that in and try to trap me with something.”
Absolutely not, not sneaking anything. Just assuming that every faith has it’s own written doctrine that they consider the righteous authoritative word without question. “Righteousness” is a simple and universal concept. And Christians like any other faith believe their book and written doctrine is absolutely righteous literally word for word without question. Which is absolutely normal and justified for any faith. It wouldn’t be a true devoted faith if they didn’t.
Are not God’s words authoritative and righteous? Is not the written account of God’s words then also authoritative and righteous? It would be hypocritical for the truly faithful to think any different...
Is there some other definition of Righteousness? Is Righteousness an opinionated compromise of some sort? Is there a gray area? As far as I understand it, righteousness just means righteousness.
“Is there some other definition of Righteousness?”
Strawman. You said not a word about righteousness. You used the term righteous authority, which is a totally diffeent concept from righteousness.
You are being dishonest in your twisted argument. Is not God’s written word the righteous authority for you as a christian?
Yes or no?
The word Righteousness is a synonym of the word Righteous. You are now purposely trying to be dense and ignorant in your argument. It is not rocket science...
