Human nature hasn’t changed much over the last few thousand years. So image a conversation something like this about the year 2349 or 2348 BC.
“This is Noah.”
“Yeah. Been lookin’ around. Found you in the directory under “P.” You know, “Preacher.” You’re the only one listed. What do you preach?”
“Grace that’s found in God’s righteousness.”
“Oh? ‘Righteousness.’ Isn’t that what’s right?”
“Yes.”
“Well, Noah, what is right?”
“I got this word from God some years back, a word of warning…”
“No! ‘What is right’ is a rhetorical, philosophical question that has no firm, objective answers. You think you have a firm answer on what’s right?”
