I'll say this : it's easier said than done. You can say it, but have you done it? If you haven't done it (lived sinlessly), you probably oughtn't say it (we can live sinlessly). It is an indication that it is not true.

Soyeong believes Christians are supposed to serve God by the Law of Moses LOL--that we're under Law, not under Grace.

The more a person sees Jesus the more holy they are because His Name is "God Is Our Righteousness" (Jer 23:6). The Moon has no light, but it can reflect the light of the Sun. "When we see Him as He is we will be as He is".

They want to preserve the peace with God through righteousness of faith... that explains it but it doesn't excuse what they are doing, being underhanded and dishonest and incoherent.

Even John sinned (you can see this in the Book of Revelation), so I think glorifying God by righteousness gets more and more perfect over time--if John wasn't 100% perfect, we won't reach perfection, either. We will be as He is when we see Him at His return (1 Jn 3).

We are justified by God's righteousness revealed from faith to faith (Ro 1:17). The "one Law" (Ex 12:49) for Christians is "each man is to be fully convinced in his own mind" (Ro 14:5), and "give thanks" (Ro 14:6)--breaking that rule is "sin" (Ro 14:23)--if observing a day or a dietary rule were...

Sin, which does not need the Law to be performed, registers in the Law as transgression. But not all transgression of the Law is a result of sin--eg, the priests are guiltless working on the Sabbath in the Temple. God's righteousness, which does not need the Law to be performed, registers in the...

Sure. You may find a lot of my interactions helpful, because I deal with this topic in depth. I want help to understand, and I want to help people not be confused by the "standard" explanations that make no sense. Being under Law is a righteousness of our own, apart from knowing God--we arrange...

The problem is they claim our lives we live after having been saved cannot affect our standing before God, but that is not what I see when I read God's Word to us--I see the one who does not walk in God's righteousness, because he is doing things he doesn't believe are correct, is condemned (Ro...

James 2 24You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. Romans 2 6who WILL REPAY EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life; 8but to those who are self-serving and do not...

Yup.

"Filthy rags" is how many users will describe "a righteousness of my own". Therefore, I describe "God's righteousness" Christians are to walk in, and be justified by, as "fine linen bright and clean" (Rv 19:7,8).

To clarify, some users want to deny Ro 2 and Ja 2, which teach justification by walking in faith, saying it is salvation by works/a righteousness of my own, but they fail to see there is another category of righteousness, God's righteousness, which is when we walk by faith (Ro 1:17), that...

It's better not to interact with that user, in my experience--it never leads anywhere good.

I was aware of its common usage being disputed, but I used it bc it is often used against me, and I believe demonstrating the categoric distinction between the two righteousnesses will help resolve the issue.

LOL After this, you're on ignore. You don't deserve any more of my resources. Your brain doesn't work.

You are completely inconsistent with yourself, but you're not capable of noticing it. LOL

Even until now you refuse to acknowledge it is God's righteousness. Why? Because you know it proves my point. You don't know Paul's words. I already addressed the nature of "salvation" by 1 Co 10. LOL Then it's yours--contrary to your own condemnations of others! Nope. See, I actually deal...

I'm just trying to understand Scripture--I don't claim to have a perfect handle on Christianity or the Bible, but I can tell when people are inconsistent and incoherent, and I don't follow their nonsense. You are not helpful in the pursuit of truth because at your core you are a dishonest...

Yeah, and you couldn't answer that God works righteousness in people--you tried (and failed) to get around that because of its implications. I never said "Look at my life--my life is in perfect keeping with Scripture", I said "I am convinced that Scripture says x, y and z"--you're conveniently...
