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...

For "faith aloners" who want to argue against Paul's teaching that only doers of the law will be justified when we are judged (Ro 2:6-16) (James 2 teaches it, too), a frequent resort is to the complaint, "That's a false Gospel of filthy Rags of self righteousness--being saved by a righteousness...

So God working in me is not God working righteousness? Is it God working unrighteousness? Also, why are you teaching self righteousness? It's YOUR work of righteousness (so that you don't have to admit God is working righteousness today, not just one time 2000 years ago)? How can you perform...

Christians' manner of walking is called their "gift" (1 Co 7).

You're off topic.

It's not a judgment on you, I'm just saying you're asking too much to have me explain what is already clear if you read Galatians. I don't mean disrespect.

I'm just saying it's a drag on conversation about the Bible when literally everything that is plainly stated at length in Scripture has to be typed out at length when it's already typed in the Bible. It's frustrating. Can you please do me a favor and read Galatians, or is asking you to acquaint...

@Eternally Grateful Tell everyone if God working in us to will and do for His pleasure is God's righteousness TODAY, so that His righteousness wasn't just what He did 2000 years ago.
