The point that I was making was how a person is deemed righteous by works and not just by belief.

Jesus wasn't a prophet? "I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” ....no one...not a prophet.... Jesus is speaking from His divinity here.

Jesus said that there was no man greater than John the Baptist...born of a woman. If ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory....ALL...how could Jesus be without sin? The answer of course is that Jesus was YHVH with the Father (they were ONE) creating the world together. After the...

God, in His mercy remembered this righteous Gentile...and even sent Peter to preach the gospel to him personally. God visits the righteous and calls the sinners to repent.

Cornelius...in Acts 10:22 ...a just man (righteous) who gave to the synagogue.

People want eternal security? Embrace humility and obscurity.

Humility is safety...knowing we are not offending God or anyone with this posture. It is better to be uplifted than debased.

That's one way to be righteous for sure. But there are other ways...like the "good" Samaritan....who loved his neighbour with actions and character. Or like the Centurion who gave to the synagogue. We must guard against only seeing one way. Jesus showed us more than one way to be righteous...

That is your take on the gospel? What is the doctrine of Christ?

Rev. 22:11 is a key to understanding how God classifies humans. This is a big study. People are often seen as righteous...based on their actions and character. All through both testaments. Even Gentiles. The righteous are scarcely saved.The righteous walk in their own power. All the righteous...

Demons can sense God's Spirit.

That's a relief! Which gospel? What is the true nature of the gospel you speak of? Is it according to self-interest of is it concerned with the things of God?

John said this... 1 John 5;17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death. He flunked religion class too. We must have had the same teacher.

Obviously no understanding at all. i flunked religion class.

Yes...to the first. Actually we also have our own righteousness. We don't receive OUR righteousness from Jesus. We receive HIS righteousness by abiding in Him. It is like going inside a tank. By ourselves bullets kill us. But in the tank...I take on the bulletproof nature of the tank. So as long...

God is love and He is merciful. As such He doesn't need to be blinded to our true condition. He knows what we are. He knows our limitations. God only sees His Son in us as we enter into His perfect life. There is no such thing as a pretend holiness...or a pretend purity. There is no sinful...

Who's truth is that? A denominational truth? Is the church not the ground and pillar of THE truth...just as a denomination is the ground and pillar of A truth?

Righteousness: Doing what is right in the sight of God....not necessarily WITH God. That's a mixture. We can do things, as Christians, to be pleasing to God...which is good. But God judges whether they are truly righteous or not. Religious people tend to do things for the wrong reasons. A lot...

As they are filtered through your mind. That is why there is no unity in the Body....everyone filtering through the mind.

There were righteous people in the OT.
