“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...
