I see you are an early riser like me. :) A physical rest? I mainly need to take an afternoon nap at this stage. God wakes me up early to seek Him for the dew of the morning. My rest is in the Lord as I pray yours is too. :) <><

This is hypocritical faux outrage disguised as much love. How can you expose yourself more clearly?

You are blessed to discern what is of the flesh and what is of the Spirit. Be strong and very courageous in the Lord. <><

So you are taking away their righteousness?

The is a HUGE difference between human righteousness and self-righteousness. God imputes humans with their own righteousness...like in the case of Abraham or Job or Lot or Abel or Daniel. But some people impute righteous onto themselves when they read the bible all wrong...that is...

What you are missing in all this...besides missing all the nuances between righteousness and holiness...is the LIFE that Paul is speaking about. We are justified by entering into the resurrection life of Jesus. The justification of life. We cannot justify ourselves because Jesus died for the...

So then we don't establish a righteousness in us so that we can establish a righteousness in us. Makes perfect sense...if you remove any kind of critical thinking. So then instead of sinning in OUR righteousness we get to sin in GOD'S righteousness? And that's OK because Jesus is sinning...

That's not how righteousness works. It's about what you do. If you allow the flesh to lead the way...then you sin. If you humble yourself and keep the outer man ...limit his excesses through fear of God...then perhaps God can justify you. Your new man is enslaved by the outer man...until you...

It's too early in the day to think you are speaking from a drunken stupor. But all can see that your brain synapses are misfiring in a major way. If we only forgive others BECAUSE we have been forgiven then the parable of the unforgiving servant you are using as proof says the exact opposite...

Carnal people see the ones pointing out their obvious self-righteousness...as being self-righteous just like them. I know you can't see anyone being more than half-right just like you KNOW you are. But your self-righteousness gets in the way of a sound judgment. A self-righteous person will say...

This is what deceives the church people. God sees our true condition. The only ones who proclaim themselves as being innocent are the self-righteous. When Paul says...found to be sinners...he's talking about believers who want to be justified by Christ IN their sins. Is Jesus a minister of sin...

All teachers of truth are seen as dangerous false teachers by those who follow the status quo religiously. :rolleyes:

You have a dire need to repent from your self-righteousness.

People will trample holiness underfoot by claiming to be justified in their sins. But the bible warns us.. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son...

On forgiveness... God doesn't require blood for forgiveness. No, He forgives us as we forgive others. His forgiveness is conditional on our forgiveness of others. God has mercy on those who show mercy. Jesus says to forgive our brother 70 times 7...and without shedding any blood!!!! Are we...

Modern believers seek neither holiness nor righteousness. For holiness Jesus says...seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (which is only found in holiness). When a person is born again, they have a sample of the kingdom of God. But one must give up one's life to enter in. And who...

Amen. The power of an eternal life. The justification of a life that is without spot or wrinkle of sin. The balance of that is in God's mercy by NOT claiming to be justified by Christ (unless we are walking in His perfection and victory). When we don't name and claim righteousness for...

People are not seeing the difference between what is holy and what is profane...what is clean and what is not clean. They are not seeing the difference between holiness and righteousness. Here is a little indicator of the difference. Justification in Christ is based on LIFE from God. Abundant...

Exactly. The death of Jesus reconciles the whole world back to God. God was in Christ reconciling the WORLD to Himself. Now that the world is reconciled to Him...MUCH MORE shall we be saved by His life. What unlearned and unstable (dishonest) people do, such as you, is not be careful with...

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they...
