In the case of Ez. 21...the ones who would otherwise be righteous put themselves in a place they don't belong. How is that possible? By disrespecting the holiness of God without fear or consideration of who God is.

Modern religion teaches us that we have no need to repent, be humble, seek the Lord...etc Since we have all we need by just believing we are accepted as we are. In fact, the tables have been turned. We are told that we are the ones who are doing the accepting...its up to us to accept Christ or...

The filthy are those who present themselves as if they are holy....but are not.

Actually there is no outer darkness until the next age...and Jude does so that it is forever.

This is not right....the entire premise of your post revolves around correcting me. And that is what I'm trying to help others with. Calling righteousness unrighteousness and unrighteous righteousness is severely reprimanded in the bible...as I have shown. We live in a rich Western culture where...

But if we can trace the wrong conclusions to a wrong doctrine...then all we need is sound doctrine to bring light into the darkness. :)

Personal righteousness is like the light of stars....far away and giving almost no light at all. Yet they are there. In the daytime the light of the stars is still there...but the light of the sun is so bright that the stars can no longer be seen. In the same way God's righteousness overcomes...

Wow! Your understanding is deepening! God's ways are such that you can always get to where He is from where you are!

The carnal mind can be short-circuited by indoctrination. Once the mind is so shorted out NO KNOWLEDGE can enter in. What is the efficiency of the devil being able to short circuit a carnal mind? Just rattle off a verse (that is not understood in context) like... Is. 64:6 But we are all as...

David was a man who understood righteousness. Before the cross of Christ was available to cut away sinful flesh...there was being weaned from the flesh. Ps. 131:2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. The Hebrew...

Here is something that few will understand. God builds His righteousness on OUR righteousness. An uncovered righteousness is filthy. But not one that is covered by God's righteousness. How is our righteousness required to enter into Christ? Why do we need to repent to enter into Christ? Doesn't...

2 Tim, 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Instruction in righteousness? Those who believe they can grow into holiness need to look closely here. We grow in righteousness not holiness...

you think you understand...but the scale you are dealing with is limited to human reasoning. A spiritually blind person doesn't know they are blind. They think they see eternal things by using carnal senses. 1 Cor, 2:14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they...

This is funny. Instead of God's covering righteousness you would have the righteousness of God be attributed to you...as if you are intrinsically as righteous as God. Of course pretend righteousness sounds good...if you are into pretending. In your scheme you sin with God's...

LOL. Its so funny how people react to apostolic doctrine. It is God who receives us into the high calling...not a religious clique. Paul sought to win Christ and be translated into the Beloved. People 2,000 years later have NO idea what Paul is talking about. There's no idea of what it means to...

What's wrong with the Catholic religion are the externals...the sensual approach that pleases the corporate entity. But a lot of the doctrines are much more accurate than the Reformed position. Luther went too far...rather than just reforming he also went on to distort what grace is and what...

I can't help that there is no sin in Christ. A walk in Christ is not the same as a carnal walk. NT grace is the [power to walk as Jesus walked. So your confusion comes from a lack of understanding of God's way in Christ.

God's righteousness is a covering OVER us. It is an anointing. As in..."His banner over me is love." Entering INTO Christ gives us God's covering grace. God covers OUR righteousness with His own. He covers our strength with His own. He covers our life with His own...etc 1 Corinthians 15:10 -...

Faith that is not our own (that of Christ) leads us to walk exactly as Jesus walked. Do you deny that? Following Christ from various distances is good, but no better than what the Israelites did in the wilderness. Do you see that?

In your scheme Jesus was resurrected from the dead so that the whole world can continue to sin. The absolute here is the "non-dualistic"..."without Me you can do nothing."
