The Bible does that for us:
Hebrews 10:1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming

This is nonsense. The natural law God placed in men's hearts is the same law expressed in the 10 commandments.

The it is ambiguous. It is not a good idea to start a sentence with it. I meant being a moral person doesn't please God enough that He would grant eternal salvation and the gift of the Spirit.

Whatever that means I don't know. To me there is only one human moral standard as expressed in the 10 commandments.

Just clarifying that although Micah reveals Christ it does not mean Micah must always reveal Christ.

I don't think I ever said Micah was in that category, neither does the footnote.

In what way was Micah using God's name in Micah 6:8? As I showed previously, it does not say "The Lord saith".
