Congrats @Clete! You are awarded my post of the day!

Just answer the question, Hawkins. I even made it easy and posted the answer above! But I ask because I want to hear your reasoning.
1) Is something (like humility) good because God recognizes it as good? Or,
2) Is something good because God commands that it is good (as Socrates put it, because...
Wrong. And your answer leads to moral relativism.
The above is Euthyphro's Dilemma (as presented to the Christian)
Here is the correct answer:
Is something good because God commands it so (i.e., because He decides that a certain trait, like honesty, will be good rather than bad)? No...
There's a difference between actions that are good, even by evil people, and a "being" that is good.
What Jesus said was correct, and what Clete said was correct.
There is only one [being] who is good, that's God.
And yet, even evil people can do good things, as Clete described above.
Yes it does.
Jesus became "a man."
Jesus is God.
Therefore, "a man" is God.
You're trying to have it both ways, Marke, and it's not going to work.
A = A.
A != !A
Jesus, a man, is God.
Therefore, a man is God.
See Clete's post addressing this above.
Supra.
Saying it doesn't make...
That's not even what the verse says!
All you have to do is READ THE VERSE WITHOUT YOUR CALVINIST GLASSES ON!
Your premise is wrong, and therefore your conclusion is invalid, and your bias causes you to believe scripture says what you assume, without thinking for yourself.
Justification is...
God the Son, Jesus, who is God, became a man. God = a Man.
The Man, Christ Jesus, is God. A Man = God.
Yes, that checks out.
No, Mark, it's not.
A = B, therefore B = A.
The Man, Jesus, IS IN FACT GOD!
1) Is something (like humility) good because God recognizes it as good? Or,
2) Is something good because God commands that it is good (as Socrates put it, because God loves it)?
What I said is COMPLETELY related!
You: "What God gives its received because God gives it."
Scripture: Jesus is the Light, who was given by the Father to the World, and the world rejected Him who the Father gave!:
Exactly the OPPOSITE of what you say!
It's not mandatory to get vaccinated.... Unless you want to not be suspended from work without pay and even fined...
In other words: if a person wants to continue living like a normal human being, it is mandatory for them to get vaccinated.
Keep reading:
Any worker who fails to present a valid COVID-19 health certificate will be suspended without pay after five days, but cannot be sacked. Those non-vaccinated could also be fined up to €1,500.
Don't overstate your position.
Natural selection DOES occur.
What DOES NOT occur, however, is the gain of function through natural selection, as natural selection" can only REMOVE the unfit, not make a species more fit.
