Just to humor you, Wendell.
.
You included this line in your last post:
.
acting in accord with divine or moral law : free from guilt or sin
.
Do you understand what it is saying? Or are ye daft?
.
If I act according the the rights with which I am filled, I am acting in accord with law what ever the issue may be--religious or civil. That means that I am free from any guilt, sin, or crime of which any person might accuse me; because I have certain rights--I am a righteous person. It can also be said that my behavior is righteous in that I act like I know that I have these rights.
.
But, you are using the word righteous as though behaving properly is what earns you a position in God's mind and that is a wrong interpretation of the word. God dispenses a certain righteousness to all humanity. It is not earned by anything we might do.
.
Did you get it this time?
