>> 1) They claim that morality arises from god, i.e., they wish to define morality as obeying god's commands. >> >> 2) "God is good," is an explicit part of their doctrines.

There's no tension between these two statements, and "God is good" is meaningful. :) Statement #1 follows directly from Statement #2. Swap the numbers on those statements and you'll have the right of it.
