Platitudes or Beatitudes? Peter says that those who work righteousness are acceptable with God. Does Peter's experience and statement hold any value to you?

I could try taking you by the hand and help you with your reading skills but something tells me that you would only throw a tantrum. Seek the Lord for yourself...and live.

I think you are mostly NOT confused. You should be changing screen names with others here! ;) tsml

Actually the OTHER book Is the book of life. This is the second resurrection..the general judgment for all nations. The righteous are written in the book of life. And the books were opened....this is the first judgment for God's household. Those 2 books are the Lamb's book of life and the book...

This is false. The filthy are those who soil holiness. The wicked are those who love unrighteousness. And both of these categorizes include MANY believers in our time. What I teach is that we should AT LEAST be as the righteous...if not be among the holy. Jesus taught that...at least giving the...

You say this because you always need to be half-right. And you only allow others to be only half-right too. This is a pride issue that you need help with. The very silly notion that I need help for your difficulties with the truth display that I am a mirror here. People always see themselves in...

What is interesting is that it says...faith without works is dead. But it doesn't say works without faith is dead. And that because we will not be judged by our faith....but only by our works.

If that helps you to see that righteousness can be innate then OK. We are all created in God's image. The capacity for good is in all of us as we allow our inner conscience to operate separately from what benefits us personally. If you want to see that inner capacity as faith then fine. I don't...

Fear on the outer man. Fearlessness on the inner man. We are really 2 people until we are either fully weaned of the flesh, able to carry our cross...or better yet, crucified with Christ. From there we will no longer be duplicitous, double minded, compromised, and unstable.

You are the one doing the cancelling. You are projecting that onto me. You still do not believe the bible...God accepts those who DO righteousness. It's right there and you refute it. You really need to turn your views back onto yourself. Most here can't see when a person is FULLY...

Amen. But if you can understand that there are 4 eternal destinies....you will see the place that God has reserved for the righteous in the nations and you will see where the hypocrites end up.

But if you want to understand that without persecuting the righteous then you have to be able to discern the difference between the Bride and the guests. The way to the Father and eternal life right NOW is according to HOLINESS.....the way to inherit life is through righteousness.

I don't believe that the righteousness of God takes away the righteousness of men. I think these are meant for mutual support. Otherwise we receive the truth in unrighteousness...which means we are headed for destruction. What I see in modern Christianity is a necessity to destroy human...

Full of faith could mean having the faith OF Christ to do the impossible...like Stephen. Stephen was a holy man of faith. He went far beyond the righteous in that He operated directly before God...whereas the righteous are ignorant of God, yet they still do what is right on a human level because...

Or what about other religions? Can they not be righteous because of what they do? It's almost like Christians say they are going to obey but don't...and other religions say they won't but do. Such is our confusion about faith versus beliefs. Everyone has beliefs of some kind. But it isn't...

Aha. OK When we say faith we are talking about what we think GOD wants. But a righteous man apart from faith in God does things because HE thinks they are right. It just so happens that God ALSO thinks it's right. For example, the Samaritan saw the man at the side of the road in his state of...

Everybody believes something...what is right and true. Some people do what is right without having any kind of faith unless sees that FAITHFULNESS is also faith. Both words are the same in both Greek and Hebrew. But in English these are separate words...faith meaning beliefs and...

You are only seeing down a very narrow corridor of people who aren't you. You do that, without realizing it, because you want to justify yourself as being further ahead than them. But you are in a different race than they are. Grace qualifies us for a much harder albeit more glorious race. It...

Good. But sympathy is not the same as honour. A lack of intelligence is not wisdom. Wisdom is a proper use of intelligence. Only the devil and his spirit of slumber causes people to abnegate what God has given us to preserve our own souls.

Actually God is waiting on you. When will you allow a very basic honesty to overthrow what the devil has instilled in you? When will anyone see the degree to which the devil deceives the WHOLE world...and especially the church.
