>>I can't help but think that using our own sense of justice and not relying on His is exactly what landed Adam and Eve out of the garden in the first place; they wanted to decide for themselves what was right and what was wrong. But you do it too. Everyone does. You judge, based on your own innate sense of right & wrong when deciding that your particular set of beliefs or rules is correct and others are wrong or immoral. It's why you're not a Muslim (for example) or jehovah's witness. The scripture that says not to lean upon your own understanding but it's your own understanding of the scripture that gives you your belief system to begin with. Just like determining where the sun is and what's grass and what's sand, it's your own senses you're forced to rely on. You're not using some higher understanding because that's to understand God and you can't do that.
