I simply asked for how you justified your "statements of truth". You balked at that and continue to do so. I'm afraid we're on the verge of losing any hope of further discussion but I remain hopeful.

You can chase your tail till the cows come home if you like greg. You have long been on a mission to assign a worldview label, or to have me find one that you can accept.

"Crapola..."

You give no reasoned argument


Yes I did. I said the preacher was inferring that those not under his authority were bound to dismiss the notion of right and wrong. Which is crapola.

"or how eastern Pantheistic Monism is really moral to the core, (which is what you need to show in order to establish your claim that he has constructed a Straw Man) just excrement.

I have absolutely no obligation to show any such thing. What nonsense.

Romans summary:

"Unfortunately that misses the specific point of my question by quite a wide margin. "

I like my summary way better than yours. The specific point of your question was not a genuine question at all and we both know it. It was you trying to transition into a fire and brimstone sermon, probably a hidden agenda of yours all along.

My summary ties the passage directly into what we've been discussing. Its no mystery to me, why you dismissed it so easily.

"Summary: In any event, Paul seems to be pleading with the Romans to give him a chance to preach in their setting, allowing that righteousness in the eyes of God is a spiritual matter of the heart, not of birth right or association with a particular population's allegiances (worldviews). He talks some about how peops have got it all wrong, using their dogmas to excuse the inexcusable and justify the unjustifiable. He is encouraging them to consider and accept the way of Jesus as the only real alternative."
