    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    The lie is written all over you. You have to walk and chew gum at the SAME TIME. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but...

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    Yes the righteousness of men. There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and...

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    In your extremist ideology you are contradicting the bible. Jesus died for the sins of the world. He is the saviour of the whole world especially them that believe. Especially but not exclusively because Jesus didn't come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners. The righteous don't need...

    Why do you think you are righteous when you are not?????

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    Why do you listen to the devil? God knows we are not perfect. Explain all the righteous men and the hundreds of references in the bible of men and women being righteous in God's eyes who were NOT perfect. You are doing the evangelical two-step and confusing righteousness with holiness. Holiness...

    What is God looking for from us?

    And today those who stand against a basic human righteousness are being totally unpersuaded by the bible and God...and those who speak the truth in His name.

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    You have faith ABOUT Jesus...whom you don't know in Spirit and truth. And you are banking on a religious proposition that all you have to do is mentally accept the proposition and you are GUARANTEED a super great outcome, all expenses paid. Like a utopian getaway on a Caribbean island where all...

    I am condemning your hypocrisy.

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    Maybe I have to dumb down my words for you to hear because you are not very astute when it comes to reading comprehension (your self-interest is way too much at play...making you are a very poor judge). What the bible says, and I said, is that the Publican didn't THINK .....(listen to this word...

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    You should say..."In my opinion" because that's all you have. The whole purpose of grace is to help us to be obedient. Not to help us to stay sinful. But the Publican never saw himself as forgiven or righteous. You are inventing that. Only the Pharisee considered himself to be righteous...

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    So you are being saved by the Lord in your unrighteousness? In your scheme the more unrighteousness you perform the more credit God gets. See where that gets you.... :rolleyes:

    The saints rule over the righteous of the nations in the next age.

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    So are you going to repent after this admission of yours?

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    So you blame me for your lack of understanding? Unless I post verses that you were indoctrinated to believe in foolishly....you say you don't understand....which of course is true.

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    LOL You have a sunday school level of understanding. No man can stand before God in his own righteousness. No man can justify himself before God for ANYTHING he does or BELIEVES. It is God who justifies, not you. And He justifies whom He wills....which you are an enemy of. You are an enemy of...

    I think the pin-ball machine that is your mind just tilted.

    What is God looking for from us?

    I'm sure God is flattered about your approval of His ways. We don't want to teach children that good behaviour is actually a good thing. I see your point. Otherwise there could be righteous people. And that would be a threat TO YOUR SELF-INTEREST. I see how your mind twists the truth to...

    What is God looking for from us?

    Yes. Human righteousness has always existed because man is created in God's image. Otherwise Abel could not have been deemed righteous. But evangelicals don't know that. Or if they did before, they have traded in sound wisdom for folly based on self-interest and the ability to name and claim...

    Outer Darkness: a possible destiny for the saved

    You are seeing the cleverness of the lie. It is God who has given us the option of the greatest delusion of all time. Naming and claiming that the very best outcome is there for us just by claiming it. I mean...talk about best case scenario. And that option is intoxicating for the ego centered...

    Sinless Perfection. Why do so many teach against what Jesus taught?

    You are wrong of course. You are mixing standards here. There is a human righteousness based on what a human can do...otherwise God would not have given us laws. AND there would be no one called righteous in the bible who was not a Christian. But we who read the bible know that MANY people are...
