Transgressing righteousness in an effort to be justified for our stance in holiness. Holding the truth but in unrighteousness.

Yes, the definition of iniquity..... mixing ourselves with Christ and saying it's Him.

You are confusing a holiness standard (loving God) with a righteousness standard (loving your neighbour). It may surprise you to know that the "royal law" is not about believing in God...but loving others as yourself. Agreed. Agreed. But do you realize that one can obey God's will without...

Repentance will never go out of style. According to God's righteousness we need to love our neighbour.

Modern evangelical doctrine is so muddled that it is not just a question of getting the cart before the horse it is about not knowing if the cart is in the horse or on the horse or if the horse is on the cart or in the cart or à la carte.

I can't show you how you are confusing God and men. It is so obvious to me...but it seems that others can't tell the difference. I'm amazed at this. People can be justified by either works or faith...human works or human faith. Of course neither can be used to justify themselves by...

In comparison to God...yes. But how many do these filthy works and say that they are in Christ while they are doing them? The problem with the filthy rags comparison is that most moderns think that the righteousness of God is no different than their own filthy works...these espouse a sinful...

A W TOZER: Christianity is so entangled with the world that millions never guess how radically they have missed the New Testament pattern. Compromise is everywhere. The man who has passed on into the divine Presence in actual inner experience will not find many who understand him. The fact is...

Jesus spoke of the Publican who was justified because he recognized his own unworthiness...which was righteousness in God's eyes. He also spoke of the Samaritan who loved his neighbour. Now you aren't going to tell me that only Christians love their neighbour. Loving your neighbour is the...

Part 1. Where do you read that the Gentiles now all have the righteousness that God has??? Where do you add the word "God" in there that is not there...on purpose? Part 2. NOW we are talking about God's judgment. The Jews...just like most modern Christians do NOT go to God for His...

Again...that is an interpretation due to a quick reference. But you are the one supposedly connecting the dots. Nowhere in the bible does it say that the righteousness of faith is the same thing as the righteousness of God. In fact the opposite case is to be made...seeing that humans are NOT...

This is where attention to detail is so important. God's righteousness is NOT the righteousness of faith even though both are attained by faith. The thief on the cross did not have God's righteousness....but he had faith. Likewise the centurion who had great faith....but he was not OF God...

Good thoughts! I like your logic. And this very logic destroys most of what is called Christianity these days. But not all. I leave it to you to investigate the difference. Think about this....why would so many fake the knowledge of a God who doesn't exist? For every counterfeit...there is...

You are close....but in Acts 10:35 Peter is not talking about God's righteousness....but only what God sees as righteous in people that don't even know Him. Jesus did not come to call the righteous to repentance. I realize that people are conditioned to add in their own interpretations into...

Very well said! :) The sinless perfection is found only in Christ...and they who have believed into Him attest to His grace and resurrection power over sin. They who deny His power have not known Him.

Only when we abide in Christ. It is His life that is without sin.

Nonsense. How can WE be the righteousness of God in Him if we sin? In Him is no sin.

Actually why get Jesus involved right? You can do all that you stated on your own...that's why you believe in it....God's not in it. No miraculous power, no grace....just self-effort. As if God is powerless over sin. So then if you sin...God's NOT in it. Why make things more truthful than they...

Kept the seal: Departed from iniquity....the seal in 2 Tim. 2:19?

This is where one's mind must NOT conform to human logic....and why so many fail to grasp the will of God. When we are baptized by the Spirit we are baptized INTO Christ. But that does not mean we enter into His presence to live there always...to remain. So then entering into Christ is...
