Those who believe they live a sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolute perfect life 100% of the time (exactly as Jesus lived) are suffering from a terminal case of self righteousness. 1 John 1:8 - If we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is...

God's way does not elevate man, but insists on man's total dependence on God and His Mercy. (Titus 3:5) That is very unappealing to man's pride.

It amazes me how those who "trust in themselves that they are righteous/despise others/treat others with contempt/look down on others" etc.. never even seem to realize that describes them. :oops:

Bizarre indeed and 'avatar police' sounds about right. In a different thread, Bible Highlighter also attacked a meme that I posted which said, "WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS PLAY THE STRAW MAN CARD" which had a picture of the scarecrow from the movie, "The Wizard of Oz" in it and I got an earful from him...

Amen! Until we get to the end of the creature we will not get to the beginning of the Creator.

Amen! Luke 18:9 - Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am...

That is correct brother. :) It's not about promoting sinful living or a TV show at all.

Salvation by works appeals to man’s pride and forms the basis of other religions, except for Biblical Christianity. The natural or unregenerate man (1 Corinthians 2:14) does not fully understand the extent of his own sinfulness and absolute need for a Savior. (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:10-12...

Amen brother and well said! :Thumbsup: 1 John 3:9 Commentary - Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament Doeth no sin (αμαρτιαν ου ποιε). Linear present active indicative as in verse 4 like αμαρτανε in verse 8. The child of God does not have the habit of sin. His seed (σπερμα αυτου)...

Amen brother! :Thumbsup: Amen and again I say, AMEN! The efficacy of Christ's death and resurrection is sufficient and complete to save believers. (Romans 3:24-28) No supplements needed.

"Professing" (nominal) Christians out number genuine Christians by far and there are those as well who seem to be suffering from a terminal case of self righteousness. (1 John 1:8-10)

Those are not characteristic traits of children of God. (1 John 3:9,10)

Ephesians 2:8 - For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved...

Amen! This confirms that one is a child of God. 1 John 1:6 - If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son...
