Imagine a little girl in Bangladesh, her parents are Hindu. To honour her parents, she does whatever Hindus do. She lives a poor life and dies in poverty in a drought. God in His mercy sees the girl...a girl who suffered her whole life and died of hunger. Will He not now feed her for...

And you aren't seeing His ways...just one facet. You don't see as He does. No one can compare themselves to God. And Jesus is good...but the other man was being flippant about what good is. And whether they were believers or not. You only can see things on a religious level. The Pharisees...

We are to become as children concerning evil. Are children filthy in their thinking? No...we are to become or remain like them. This whole idea of filthy rags ...what it does is identify those whose righteousness is indeed filthy. God loves the righteous and receives them...and gives them...

Actuality God will have mercy on whoever He wills. OT righteousness was by works as well as faith. You still aren't getting the relationship between human righteousness and divine righteousness. I suggest you watch the video...and then comment on it. God will not share His glory with another...

This bears repeating... The context of "filthy rags" righteousness is NOT a statement that destroys human righteousness...it is an admission of guilt about what certain people were doing. What OT people could compare with was a true human righteousness compared with a false human righteousness...

Again, you are reading yourself into the bible. And if we have been given that sample of grace...we need to move on into Romans 7 and Romans 8. You are stuck in Romans 6...with an initial experience of grace. The Old Man is dead...but the outer religious man is alive and making you do what you...

keep going... V5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

It doesn't work by a dogmatic belief. It's not automatic. One has to seek the Lord for it.

You've heard of walking in the Spirit, walking in resurrection life, coming to MT. Zion in the Spirit. You've heard of the full armour of God, the armour of light... Putting on the New Man...putting on Christ. Seated in heavenly places??? Where do you think that is? All you have to do is put...

Who gave you that status? Yourself? A pastor? There is no status with God. No one receives an inheritance before the time. What you should say is...in HOPE of a future inheritance. Otherwise it sounds like you are inventing things. Not by security,...which is a carnal thing...but by faith and...

I am responding to the arrogance I see in modern believers to claim the good verses for themselves and consign those who don't agree with them to the flames. It's all based on a religious human certainty. What you never hear about is "hope." It's always about certainty of religious beliefs...

Jesus died for the sins of the whole world...not just believers. So then no one goes to hell... actually the lake of fire? But you are deciding that death is for others (unless you are a universalist) and life is for you. How do you come up with that? If you received the gift of life...is...

Your bible says "practice" sin? That word is added in. There is no "practice" sin. That is religious mumbo-jumbo. And besides even the worst translations say.... "does NOT sin". Read that passage more carefully. Jesus says...whoever sins is a slave of sin. Do you believe that? Is that in your...

If Jesus died for the penalty of our sins...how does He hold us responsible for our sins? Should we even TRY to not sin. Or does sin not matter anymore? Which is it? How are we to stop sinning? Is there a power (grace) that causes us to not sin...that gives us the power over sin?

I see it as a smug religious self-assurance...based on years of dishonesty concerning the bible. AND that is re-enforced by a lot of bad teaching, propaganda and indoctrination by religious hucksters seeking to build up their franchises...to the point where no amount of proof...biblical proof...

The modern scheme of ignoring God's laws in a bid for self-justification based on religious beliefs comes with a warning from Jesus. And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ The grace of God is given to us to fulfill the law not ignore...

That's exactly what I quoted you as saying...that you are saved from the penalty of sin. (This is laughable. :oops: ) Isn't that exactly what you said is wrong? Saved by YOUR efforts at doing better? Growing us? Into holiness? Maybe you do have a different bible. What does it say on the cover...

A Babylon scheme perhaps? :rolleyes:

Hey @marks ...in all honesty, do you agree with @Eternally Grateful on her idea that we are saved only from the Penalty of sin? And even to consider any sort of victory over sin...even by the Spirit...is just a gospel of works and self-righteousness? Is that why there is so much silence...
