Repentance? Jesus didn't come to call the righteous to repentance so long as the way of holiness was not yet available. Righteousness was the best we could do. Why stop people from doing righteousness? But when the New Covenant was fully achieved then ALL men were called to repentance INTO...

I think you just tanked.... :rolleyes:

Are you being so bold as to not claim to be as righteous as God like some here? ;) God's righteousness is His banner over us who enter INTO Christ. His righteousness is like a tank we enter into for protection. We enter into the tank by being IN Christ. We, however never become the tank. The...

His rest....yes. I watch baseball sometimes...and the players that are trying to earn a place on a major league team, I find interesting. I cheer for the lesser players that are hanging on for as long as they can...giving value to the team they are assigned to. I identify with those kind of...

When Jesus was among us in the temporal world He spoke many similitudes to the kingdom realm, in an effort to convey it's principles...and ultimately God's will. Now, back then they hadn't yet invented baseball. I'm sure that Jesus would have used baseball to compare realms had it been invented...

It is important to do that is one wishes to swallow a lie whole. If a man believes a lie then he becomes a liar upon confession. God makes things from nothing, speaking things into existence that are not. When a human does this it's called...an imagination, a lie, a dream, a pretense. Tying...

When I hear someone who is not elect decrying what they call "inclusivism" as something evil...I marvel... What I see is a picture (from a popular meme) that shows a man sitting on a branch trying to saw it off while sitting on it himself. IOW he's cutting on the wrong side. The branch is being...

Not so. Your statement is unbiblical and twisted. (spotted with sin) Sure there are dead works. But not all works apart from the Christian religion are dead. Jesus taught a parable about a hated sinner (Samaritan) who did a good work. The Pharisees, hypocrites, saw that as scandalous and...

And you have the arrogance to stand before God and claim to have HIS righteousness. Laughable.

If you think a little truth is a bloodbath, what will you consider judgment day to be? If the footmen tired you, how will you contend with horses?

It's all imagination...and self-justification. The condemnation he shows towards me and others is based on his own refusal to repent. People who read the bible to save themselves only appear to love God. What they love is what they think God will do for them because of a shallow lip-service...

You should try reading it instead of pretending you respect the bible. You worship a book but you are far from knowing anything about its AUTHOR.

The righteousness of God is found in Christ. The key words are IN HIM. In Him is no sin. In Him we walk in resurrection life above sin. The only way INTO Christ is by faith...unlike the righteousness that God can impute TO US which is imperfect and can be declared either by faith OR works...

This is laughable hubris and grandstanding. Are you looking in the mirror when you come up with these rants? If not, you should be. You only speak fluff....religious fluff. And that impresses the other pretenders here.

Exactly. I'm amazed you get anything I say right. God imputes righteousness to the righteous...but He never imputes HIS righteousness to others. What you want is for God to be SO BLIND as to not only justify the unrighteous but justify the unrighteous with a righteousness that is equivalent...or...

Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness, declares the Lord GOD

There are some here who deny the scriptures, contradict the words of Jesus...and then claim to be as righteous as God! Which god?

Paul and I agree that the NT is about holiness and the higher walk. You being unstable and unlearned claim the higher walk benefits while you wallow in sin and pride. Do you think Paul will rise up against you on that day? I know he will. What do you think imputing means? How many other OT...

In your scheme you, being a sinner without any righteousness whatsoever, can then claim to have God's own righteousness imputed to you...because you are a sinner. So your whole scheme falls apart and is based on lawlessness and unrighteousness.
