I used TNIV but again this verse is just one of many.

Jehovah's laws were very often evil by today's standards.

In other words: "Sure I used a terribly inaccurate translation to support my point, but trust me, I've got plenty of other terribly inaccurate translations if that one didn't convince you!"

Jehovah's laws were very often evil by today's standards.

Today's standards are often intrinsically immoral, while the law of God is intrinsically just by definition.

Your statement is true, but only trivially.

That's a vacuous statement. Christianity is evil by "today's standards" or as the bible refers to it as the wisdom of man. Can you find any verse more "intolerant" than: NASB with Strong's Numbers John 14:6 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.



TNIV Yikes! Where do you go to church where this is considered acceptable? A better translation couple with the Mathew Henry Commentary would better help your understanding.
