Did you know that Jesus died for the sins of the world? A righteous person doesn't think that he does is righteous. Only self-righteous people do that. The same goes for believers who think they are righteous based on their beliefs/faith. ANYBODY who claims to be righteous is a self-righteous...

Yes, of course. Like children. A heart like a child God accepts. Yes. A holy person is held to a high standard that a child doesn't have to be under. That's because you are labeling them as righteous. You just said...our righteous acts. That means you are the one judging them to be...

You are not understanding DOING righteousness. God doesn't do righteousness for us. Read the OT. I could cite SO MANY passages...but you can't read them and understand...I've tried hundreds of times . Your vision is WAYYYYY too small. You don't have to destroy righteousness in order to get...

You are barking up the wrong tree. I suggest you repent from religious certainty and following men who are clearly clueless when it comes to anything beyond an over-simplification of believing in Jesus..without ANY qualification beyond owning a bible and justifying himself with it. You need to...

Exactly. But to do that you need to know the Lord and His ways...and that is where you are lacking. It wouldn't cost you anything to consider another viewpoint. That's right ...they can't. No it doesn't. We don't get to figure God out...especially when all we have is a very limited brain...

Especially among those who claim to belong to Him. You would do well to learn more about God's judgments. I already suggested that you go through the parable of the wheat and the tares. There are two cuts in the parable. A double edged sword...that so MANY have not considered because of a very...

You are selective in your understanding, so you can't see the scale of God's mercy. That's going too far the other way...without any balance. Peter says that God accepts ALL who DO righteousness and fear Him. If you read the bible without a religious bent you will see the balance. Otherwise you...

Why seek to obliterate righteousness? Why seek to deny God's mercy for others? Why rail against holiness? These attacks are on the front line of the spiritual battle that is claiming the souls of many who have been promised life. People will do horrible things in the name of self-preservation...

You want to destroy righteousness, God's mercy, and holiness. All these you rail against in your bid to justify yourself for a belief theory. You have rejected the true gospel and you mischaracterize the truth as something that not just includes others apart from you..it also excludes you...

Amen. You know we are on the same page. Religious people compare themselves with those who are OUTSIDE the church...condemning them of course, but never considering why Jesus is condemning the Laodiceans for thinking they are something they are not. Sure, in their own eyes they are rich and in...

The liberal gospel says "you don't need to seek, ask and knock...He is already in you, all you need to do is discover what's already inside you".. This kind of thinking comes from Buddhism. It tells a person that they are already complete...no need to seek outside themselves. And this is a very...

Since you don't seem to want to go away, I will TRY to address your concerns as real or imagined as they may be. ;) OK...an inclusive social gospel??? Where do you get that? The bible testifies that Jesus died for the sins of the WHOLE world. That's not me saying that...you have an issue with...

I already ripped up those false doctrines. You want me to take them back out of the compost bin? Yuck! hmmx1:

I don't think you are qualified to discern true doctrine. If you can read my posts and understand them...then you are reading sound doctrine. And because it is sound it might be too deep for spiritual novices. The proof is to seek God about it. I've had people who disagreed with me then...

I rip up false doctrines...to save the person. I don't rip up people. :phew:

We can "put on" armour by imagination...as in..you're putting me on! ;) We can spiritualize a text without ANY reality being present. Putting on spiritual armour is synonymous with putting on Christ...a covering of righteousness in the light of God's love, and power. AKA The armour of light...

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength...even mounting up into the higher walk...as eagles. ;) Amen...like Joshua and Caleb. Faith in God to do the seemingly impossible. :) Amen. Zeal for God does not always equal being on God's side. A big lesson in spiritual warfare is the...

Faith is a real thing. And reconciliation with God a very desirable thing. :) For many, yes, they follow other sheep who seem to know where they are going. Religious certainty for many gives them peace of mind. Of course judgment day is coming and God will have His say on that. Or as the...

I think so. A weak and feeble person in the flesh can be a spiritual giant. We can't judge spiritual things by appearances. I know that "being yet carnal" is yet a state of immaturity. That is for real followers of Christ. We sometimes have to learn to crawl before we learn to walk. But a...

If a person is interested in holiness and the higher walk in the Spirit, then he/she has to learn to ask the right questions. It's about getting the questions right...and ceasing from trying to provide oneself with answers based on one's own understanding by just reading a bible. Lean NOT on...
