Paul says that the Scriptures are good for instruction in righteousness. He was talking about the OT. We know that God's righteousness is a gift. But if that was the kind of righteousness talked about in the OT....how can one learn it? You don't learn a gift. So the Paul is admonishing...

holiness + sin= SIN People who preach the above response are looking for a salvation IN sin. They want the fleshly man to inherit life. The Old Man of sin wants to be justified. So then the whole argument denies the cross.

A Christian doesn't entangle himself in the affairs of this life. At least that's how I read it. 2 Tim. 2:4 No one serving as a soldier entangles himself in the affairs of this life, that he might please the one having enlisted him.

Righteousness does not mean to be blameless exactly. And salvation is something else again. I'm not the one mixing apples and oranges. The right thing to do....IS what righteousness requires. So if you do what is right...you are righteous. There is no "milk of human kindness" mentioned in the...

That is the Greek "autos" which can mean him, or it. It is a loophole that is used by the modern Arianists....to deny the divinity of Jesus. "IT" was God????

Why would someone say something like that? That's the point. God is not a communist. God hates flags. God doesn't rollerblade. God doesn't dangle participles. etc... What is the point?

Simple....yet priceless. :)

The grace of God is great if you walk in it. Otherwise they are just words that describe a potential...and a great potential for error. .. But how does one procure this grace and this salvation? They are not some magic formula that if you say...grace of God...finished work...you can then have...

So then our righteousness is...doing the right thing with what we have been given. It is in a human capacity. So then if we have money....and we give it away to someone in need...we have done a good thing. Anybody can do this. Think of the widow's 2 mites. But His righteousness is Christ...

We cannot sin inside the tank...as the environment will not permit it. We need to forsake sin in order to enter into His shelter. We practice righteousness because we are IN Him. We are talking here of an eternal kind of righteousness...whereby we do things that were prepared in...

Tanks!

So then mixing righteousnesses (Ours and God's) is a great evil...that has dire consequences...as IT DESTOYS BOTH our own righteousness AND God's. Look at this.. Is. 5:6 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. 17Then shall...

Look at Phinehas...the man who killed 2 lovers. Did he kill them because he wanted to have salvation? Or did he do it because he thought it was necessary? God justified him JUST LIKE ABRAHAM....and with a higher honour. So then let's look at Phinehas. Num. 25:7 And when Phinehas, the son of...

You're not getting it. The religious think as you do. A person who God justifies is not looking to be justified. A righteous person doesn't think they are righteous. God does, however. We are NOT talking about salvation. Please disconnect....even for a second...righteousness from an obsession...

I would like to begin sorting out righteousness so as to avoid mixture. I'll use colours. :) Let's say OUR righteousness...is yellow. Let's say God's righteousness....is blue. When these are mixed together....we get green. This mixture is iniquity... We are called to purge ourselves from...

Hey Brakelite. I don't think we have chatted too much yet...:) Here you are going for the whole enchalada. I find that people miss the righteousness of God by missing what righteousness is altogether. But yes, WE who are called to follow Christ are to go all the way to the full stature of...

The Logos (YHVH) WAS God. God hides a word...(davar) as it is written in Prov.25:2 Jesus is that davar (word) And that word is YHVH. It is hidden in plain sight so that people can't see it.

The Logos (YHVH) became flesh and dwelt among us....as was prophesied. "I (YHVH) will dwell in your midst." All praise to God.

In those days a centurion earned 15 times more than a basic legionary. What's a man to do with all that cash?
