I do wish you understood the times and God's judgments on these things. I don't know you, but I treat others as I would want to be treated if I was as confused as I see so many are on these matters. And the wanky translations don't help. That's not a biblical way of thinking. Works justify the...

Exactly! Now you are sounding like the apostles. That IS the conclusion one must come to...this is impossible! But with God ALL things are possible. I can do all things through Christ and His grace. Now all I need is faith. :) I think most are unable to read the bible as written...they have to...

What is the motivation behind wanting to impute God's righteousness to yourself?

I think all his posts are funny the use of one type or another notwithstanding.

No one can be imputed with God's righteousness....because we are not as righteous as He is. Simple truth. Righteousness is about DOING. Al of our righteousnesses are as filthy rags compared to His. But we can be justified by either faith OR works. That's what is taught in the bible. The reason...

All these things are true...but these things can ONLY be said of those who walk in resurrection life without sin...not just the ones who are born of the Spirit but also who abide in Christ, to overcome as He also overcame. You can't read bible verses with self-interest. If you seek to save your...

OK. But we can seek truth in the bible apart from God. The bible is a book after all. Unless we connect to the LIVING GOD by seeking Him personally..and not just finding answers in a book...then we are still doing our own will. Of course we can try APPLYING the teachings of Jesus to our lives...

The mission is only those who are covered by God's righteousness, who fulfill His will...His eternal will. He gives grace to the humble. He elevates the broken and surrendered ones who then serve Him as His servants and brothers. We have this treasure in earthen vessels. We are of this...

OK I looked it up and Shakyamuni is the Buddha. Are you a Buddhist? The Buddha was just a man...a vessel like any mortal. Jesus is a Life giving Spirit...the Creator of all living beings. The Buddha has no life to give to others....he is simply judged by his own righteousness. But Jesus Christ...

I only said that wicked men put Jesus on the cross. Come on now. Your dishonesty is well noted. Jesus allowed Himself to be crucified. He did not crucify Himself. And your claim that God is unrighteous is unfounded.

47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall...

No, God's will is done IN SPITE of what we do. Did Joseph get thrown down a well by God? was God jealous of Joseph, or his brothers? Did God tell Joseph's brothers to throw him down a well. And yet God used their evil to save the people by bringing them to Egypt. I think you have to expand...

Spoken as a true pretender. And a bald-faced liar. I don't rebuke people because they are not walking in the higher walk...that is your deafness and blindness at work. I know how impossible the higher walk is for we humans. I rebuke people because they CLAIM to be something they are not...they...

Fulfill....because the SPIRIT of the text implies that God's will is being done...not that we can claim to be elevated because we put Jesus to death...as in YAY we killed Jesus so we can become great!

It depends if you are reading the text with the intent to justify yourself. Either one can tilt toward appeasing the human ego (made), or make sure the text cannot be so twisted (fulfilled). In the case of the word "ginomai" one could choose either word in translation (made or fulfilled). What...

A more biblical descriptive would be Pharisaical or hypocrite. But I know the sensitivity of many egos here.

Go back a few thousand years...BEFORE the corruption of the church into a religious system. And look at how the word "aphesis" translated as remission in the kjv (ex. Matt 26:28) ...and now has been altered bald-facedly as forgiveness ....in every other translation. It's what the people want...

It should read " He was made to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might fulfill the righteousness of God in Him" In the text, it is wicked men who made Jesus to be sin...not God. And no one can BECOME God's righteousness for Him...but the Greek word "ginomai" means "to do". or "fulfill"...

The truth of that verse has been corrupted by translators just as many other passages have also been corrupted. It goes by what people WANT to hear rather than what's in the actual biblical text. All the translators are doing is giving people what they want by manipulatng the text away from it's...

And...love for hate, good for bad. God responds as He is...not as we are. But His light also exposes our darkness...our evil. Will we allow His goodness to change our ways?
