You confuse yourself when you change the subject. That is, okay, so you're here on that premise, which is what it is, but the issue at hand―that you chose to engage―starts with the propostion that, "It can be argued that God would declare, 'Be honorable.'"
Notice the word argued. That's what you're skipping. Yes, Mr. Elkins and I are saying it, because that's the proposition he put before us.
Your opinion is what it is, but part of the reason you're confused is that you're changing the subject.
Argued implies speculation, from my premise if God says something it is so.?. God dont speculate. Again I´m arguing from the bible. There is no point of discussion if there is no common playground, it all comes just trivial point of views.
Quoting myself:
"Example, for God is customory to start a thread what ever way God prefer, and declare to be it so, yes? So, is davidelkins a God?
If you ask for a new age people or satanists and suchs, that is the case, you are your own god, defining good and evil, and so on what is honorable or not."
If you have noticed I havent been challenging OP statement to be wrong or right, I´m interest what kind of thinking and mindset produce such a statement, besides other factors.
Once God becomes finite, there are portions of existence separate from it; God is no longer the authority.
Current state of the world. We made it finite, compromising the word, we became our own authority. Moral relativism.
Right, so cramming God into the shoebox kind of wrecks the whole Alpha and Omega idea. It's quite simple: When you can fit God into the nightstand drawer at a red-light motel, a lot gets omitted, compressed, or distorted.
I´m not doing it, on the contrary, I´m trying to understand the word, and more I study more I understand. If I take the stance that God of the bible is the one ( you have to choose one of a time to be a platform of a debate, otherwise all this is pretty pointless?) how does that destroy the "whole alpha and omega" idea?
Okay, so: The Joker, Gecko Moria, and Syndrome are all
villains. They're not the
same villain, but they are all
villains.
God, Allah, the Unmoved Mover, and the first principle proscribing a subordinate polythestic scheme (or, as such, a shoebox assertion of monotheism such as we find in the Bible) are all assertions of the monotheistic godhead. Unlike the villains, though, not all of those monotheistic assertions can exist simultaneously and independently of one another.

Okay, more usefully:
(1) Do set the example.
(2) Self-promoting authors trying to facilitate unanchored metaphysical discussions at websites full of cynics is itself an interesting propositon.
(3) What, seriously? You really want people to get up and talk about how honorable they are? By any number of religions and at least a few formal honor codes, that's kind of dishonorable.
What is it that you want to argue, there is no God; its just fabrication of our minds and our interpretions about it just differs, there is a God but our interpretions about it just differs, or what? Are you suggesting there is no major filosofical/theological differences in the religions? I will argue there is major differences between them in a such a way that only one of them can present the truth, explaining why things are why they are and how to overcome it, and so on ofcourse they cant co exist together in a sense that all are presenting the truth.
I really didnt want talk about honorable doings lightly, thats why "later" "challenge" and "interesting". Often the little things like what you dont say or dont do are the really honorable things.
