What Billy Considers Righteous and Unrighteous

Billy may be concerned with righteousness and unrighteousness—even strongly concerned and very vocal about it. But this does not mean that Billy has considered the righteousness/unrighteousness of as many things as God has considered. And it doesn’t mean that Billy has got it all right, either. He may well count as righteous some things that God condemns, or as condemnable some things that God has declared righteous.

I think it’s very common for Christians to have a view that differs from God’s view, and yet not to be actively aware of it. What seems woefully uncommon, however, is for Christians to grasp the import of this prophecy:

Woe to those who call evil good
    and good evil,
who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 4:20. ESV
