Righteousness is an attitude. Without an attitude that is willing to repent we are merely lawless and rebellious. The righteous are also humble. God resists the proud. Pride comes from self. So it seems that self can get in the way of God's approval and receiving grace. He gives grace to the humble.You seem to be contradicting yourself.
You seem to say that it is a false gospel that turns the grace of God into legalism. But then you also seem to say that righteousness is from one's own self.
Correct me if I have not understood your assertions.
Accounting means God sees something He likes. No one is good as God ...and no one seeks God. And yet we are called to do good and to seek God. Do you seek God? The bible says that no one does. I think you are not understanding the dual nature of the writings in the Bible.It would appear that your approach is one of failed semantics, as righteousness redefined to say that "No one is good but One, that is, God" is not true, but rather that we also must (in and of ourselves) be righteous) as in the case of Abraham--who was not righteous, but rather that because of His faith it was only "accounted to him" as righteousness.
And to whom much is given, more is required. Think the parable of the talents.All of which does not hold water--because "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above" and "is a gift from God."
Watch the video...you are missing the whole point of it. This is not about those kind of aliens. You should maybe inform yourself as to the doctrines of Luther...and the reformation.This is a good reason to ensure that your righteousness is greater than the scribes and pharisees.
If you meet someone who believes in aliens, how is your righteousness going to help you?
Thanks for pointing out my error. Perhaps you could summarise the video, to avoid confusion?Watch the video...you are missing the whole point of it. This is not about those kind of aliens. You should maybe inform yourself as to the doctrines of Luther...and the reformation.

I think my approach in correction the errors of the reformation might be a tad too subtle for some here. It might help to actually watch the podcast.
