As Christians, we are well acquainted with the concept of sin. Sin is more than a wrongful action. Sin can exist as intent or even an emotion within us, misdirecting our existence and leading us to forfeit our natural goodness without realizing it. One cannot help but wonder by what criteria man is judged before God.

We often think of our Divine Father as the ultimate judge and that is in a sense accurate. But, if there is a judge, there is need for a prosecutor, an accuser so to speak of all our lives and a defender, someone who forgives our trespasses and presents us to the Father under a benevolent, lenient light.

Is God the Father a person or a universal force or energy of some kind?
Does he have defining characteristics, emotions and character or is he a boundless force containing everything?

Some of us, maybe the vast majority of people, regardless of our religious practices or philosophical outlook on life, consider the words morality and goodness as synonyms, signifying the same basic concept.

Most of us have been conditioned to believe it can be either the one or the other.
But what if both sides are wrong ?
