We Need a Good God Ever

I
In scripture, Creator-Redeemers contradict
One law and rule with another
Even "be good, do good," may be wrong
For as KANT said, if motives are selfish
The actions we do lack goodwill, ethics

II
Yet I love the good God of The Bible
Because of the beauty of His holiness
Exodus 15:11 if you want to read more
The fact is, we need a good model of agape
No human love, act, thought ... Is selfless
So we seek: is there a Canon OF Holy Good?
We call that idea - we so need - God
