How can this person ever be wrong? She is well above everyone else. And believes that the apostle John was seriously in error.
Apples and oranges discuss steak....the meat of the matter will evade them. Credit to you that you have the patience. Sad for Christians that they think a God was nailed to a piece of wood, and the best He could do was produce such shaky and unsure salvation. Good to know the truth, pray for those that do not. Good that we have confidence in Christ's saving grace.
A Very Merry and Blessed Christmas to you also, @Grailhunter.@CharismaticLady @justbyfaith Hope you have a Very Merry and Blessed Christmas!
He may have indeed confessed all of them. But if he did, he would not have known his own soul, that it was without sin (1 John 1:7, Psalms 51:7, Job 9:21) and therefore would have never proclaimed it as a reality. See also John 9:41, Isaiah 42:19.
Job 9:21, Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
Jhn 9:41, Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
Isa 42:19, Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
Nevertheless, we can be righteous even as Christ is righteous (1 John 3:7), pure even as He is pure (1 John 3:3), and walk even as He walked (1 John 2:6).
btw, "sinless perfection" is a misnomer that creates a straw-man argument, easily toppled by 1 John 1:8.
The real name for what we are preaching is entire sanctification (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24). In it, sin is not eradicated from the system, so that we can say that we have no sin. Instead, it is rendered dead (Galatians 5:24, Romans 6:6, Romans 7:8) so that it has no say or authority over our behaviour or what we do.
o have nothing to say you was not there on the message i preached .i dont need your pharisee judgmentJust say, "Thanks, Captain Obvious..."
not sure where to post this but looking see postings on righteousness
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. i understand what christ is saying .. there is self righteousness and there is true righteousness . in isaiah 64;6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away so we know any thing we do to make us righteous .is like filthy rags which refers to discarded menstrual cloth .
we know paul wrote in philippians Christ is our righteousness
Philippians 3:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
other words we could use is justified sanctified . feel free to comment please no arguments . the moment we are saved we are declared righteous . but i will leave this question open . is that the end of righteousness for those truly saved as in nothing else to do. or is there some things in scripture we are to follow ?
Salvation isn't a house.Do you buy that we can go in and out of a house? Or do you think it is weird to think that when we enter into a house...we must always remain in that house?
So it is your understanding of the man-made construct of "saved" that stops you from understanding the way of salvation.
Romans 4:3-8, quoting Genesis 15:6 & Psalms 32:1-2. 'For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness." Now to him who works, the wages are not accounted as grace but as debt. Bu to him who does not work but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works: "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute iniquity."'Believe what you like. It is your life.
But, for you to say "covering" instead of "take away" is a sure sign you believe the false teaching
For those who do God's righteousness, we are told in Isaiah 64:5 that God meets, intreats, helps those who work His righteousness, see also Acts of the APostles 10:35 where those who worketh God's righteousness are the one's accepted with God.
Hey...o have nothing to say you was not there on the message i preached .i dont need your pharisee judgment
Concerning Romans 10:3...the context is Romans 9:30-33.
It tells us that God's righteousness is the righteousness of faith; the righteousness which is of God by faith (Philippians 3:9)...that the Jews missed out on the righteousness of God because they were attempting to obtain it through the keeping of the law. But the Gentiles obtained it because they came to the Lord in simple faith.
God's righteousness is NOT the righteousness of faith even though both are attained by faith.
Scripture?
I believe that the scriptures that I have mentioned (Romans 9:30-33) in context of the others (Romans 10:1-4) do substantiate what I have said about God's righteousness being the righteousness of faith (see also Philippians 3:9).
Rom 9:30, What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
Rom 9:31, But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Rom 9:32, Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Phl 3:9, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Agreed . . . attention to detail is very important!This is where attention to detail is so important. God's righteousness is NOT the righteousness of faith even though both are attained by faith.
