"X is good because God says so and God says so because
X is intrinsically good.  Seems like one just comes
along with the other with an eternal Trinity.  Right?"
--- Michael Metzler

Well put Michael. Many do not get they are the same.
All things obedient to God's will are good, and things
against it are evil. Good cannot go against God's will
by definition of the term "Good". Wayne's question is
like asking us to draw two parallel lines that
intersect or to describe a circle that has a radius
greater than its circumference.
