as humans, we have no reference point from which to accuse God of being immoral,
We have our own human empathy as a reference point.
Of course, as a believer, I would say that at an absolute basic level, God's law is objective. But what I wrote earlier was attempting to explain that without some sort of objective standard, without something that is outside yourself or your culture, you can't sensibly accuse the God of scripture, YHWH, of being immoral, when God himself necessarily is morality and the standard, and by his nature lives up to the standard because that is who He is.
In Genesis 18, when Abraham was pleading for Sodom, he pretty much did exactly that:
quote:
20 Then the Lord said, The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.
22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord.
23 Then Abraham approached him and said: Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it?
25 Far be it from you to do such a thingto kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?
The Lord did change his position after haggling with Abraham.
