    And if you disobeyed any old covenant keeping human that would be fine....but you are disobeying the true Messiah who came as a man ...not God. He acted as a man following His Father. But you look down on His humanity because it doesn't serve you personally. Instead His human obedience condemns...

    The only time that the righteous are condemned along with the wicked is in the holy city where ONLY saints are allowed. What is holy is untouchable by the righteous. Remember Uzzah and the cart. Here is what is normally found in distinguishing between the righteous and the wicked. "He that...

    You do exclude the righteous. You call mercy ..."inclusivism" ....because you think you are God's gift to humanity. But you don't realize that by excluding those whom God is including....you are excluding yourself. Such wisdom is light years beyond your understanding. That's why you hate the...

    That's what happens in the system churches. Instead of going to God people find it easier to go to churches and become indoctrinated, making them feel good, and making lots of money for the pulpeteers. Just like the vast majority, you will twist and shout but you won't seek God. You are...

    Jesus asks...why do you call me Lord and don't DO what I say?????? Doing is righteousness. The Lord is not saying we should do the impossible to be righteous...He is saying we should do as the righteous do. Be honest, love others, be humble, fear God...all the things that those who oppose me...

    LOL. You always twist the bible and my words. A perfect Pharisee. We obey Jesus in righteousness. You are trying to obey Jesus in unrighteousness. And you think that upholds His holiness? It doesn't. I could ask you why you are ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth...

    You exclude the righteous...so God will exclude you. Very simple. Read the bible.

    My contention is that those who don't understand me also don't understand the bible. God is BOTH merciful AND severe. Modern religious churchy people have NEITHER righteousness nor holiness. They are not merciful, instead condemning the righteous whom God does NOT condemn. God LOVES the...

    Exactly. Those who DO righteousness are accepted with God. That's what Peter says. If you read the bible and respect God's word you will agree. I don't listen to pretenders who debunk apostles in favour of their own silly notions.

    So you are saying that Jesus wasn't human? He was just an emanation from God? He only SEEMED to have a body? Many follow Docetism because they don't want to be responsible for their own actions. A denial of Jesus as a mere human as well as being God is a denial of Christ. And we are to follow...

    Amen. Paul had to contend with Jews trying to convert believers in Christ to Judaism. I don't have to contend with that. I do have to contend with people who use imaginary imagery to conjure up a scheme in which they think they understand Paul to mean God is trying to save their flesh. :rolleyes:

    I don't think people realize that to reject an ambassador of Christ is to reject Christ. Inasmuch as you did it to the least of these my brethren, you did it to me. People read the bible like a book of wishful thinking but miss God at every turn. You can't reach a holy place through beliefs and...

    You know nothing of history my friend. You won't benefit by my experience because you have not yet encountered the living God. And you won't unless you take heed to what I'm saying. But you won't understand that. You need to DISCERN the body. The gift of one is for all. If you refuse my...

    Paul is speaking about righteousness as something already dual...he was not against the fear of the Lord or against humility. He wasn't trying to destroy human righteousness. He was talking about the law and righteousness according to temple holiness...obeying ALL the commandments of God. The...

    Silly question. The training of a saint involves going in and out of the Spirit. When IN the Spirit there is no sin. This is based on glory. When in the flesh (absent from the Lord) then the walk is based on OUR level of faithfulness. This is based on God's MERCY. All the ways of God are based...

    Jesus came to fulfill ALL righteousness. Both God's holy righteousness and human righteousness. Paul is talking about the connection to God here...the righteousness of faith that gets us translated into a walk in resurrection life. Unless Jesus died and was resurrected again He could not give us...

    Most believers forget that Jesus is BOTH God and a man. People say Lord Lord because they want something from Him as God and even claim to have His righteousness without DOING what He did as a man. People want half a Jesus they prefer by disobeying Him. Jesus says...why do you call me Lord and...

    This is silly. You are reserving the judgment of saying yes and no by the very limited knowledge of good and evil you possess. And you manage to get that wrong because your attitude is not surrendered...it is still in the ego phase.

    God calls us into the victory of Christ to walk in resurrection life without sin....as a GIFT...fully unmerited. That is the salvation of the gospel. We are saved FROM sin not IN sin. There are 2 levels to the christian walk. The goodness AND severity of God. What we do (according to mercy) and...

    This is a very carnal and selfish reasoning. You are only looking at Jesus for what you can get out of Him. You are missing the point of the gospel completely. It's not a lifeboat for the flesh. It's a call to surrender. Christ's righteousness is on 2 levels. What He did as a man, AND what He...
