My, you understand God enough to judge Him!
----And you don't? this is what judging means:• JUDGE (verb)
The verb JUDGE has 5 senses:
1. determine the result of (a competition)
2. form a critical opinion of
3. judge tentatively or form an estimate of (quantities or time)
4. pronounce judgment on
5. put on trial or hear a case and sit as the judge at the trial of
How are we to figure out if something has merit or not if we can't judge it?


Actually, all of the 'rules' were not given by God for man to keep.
---How in the world can you judge that that is true??????


They were given to show man how unable he was to keep them. They were given as an illustration and definition of what kind of God God was, for the Jews to not mistake Him with the gods of the nations.
-----If man is unable to follow any rule of the Creator, whose fault is that? The Creator. So, the Creator is simply demonstrating how incompetent He is. What do you mean kind of God--are there other kinds?


He has made Himself and all that He is available to us. Our 'love' and 'good deeds' always have some self-interest.
----He has not made anything available or clear to me, and it was not from the lack of trying.
