Fine..be obscure! :)

You're a universalist? I find that people always take an idea too far....either everyone burns or else everyone lives. The bible is more than just a few pages long...for a reason. There is nuance. There are 4 possibilities listed in the bible....not just one or the other.

OK Where do people who go who don't know Christ and just do the best they can?

...says the devil! There is no option in just trusting the Lord....you must follow men...and such. America is NOT the church. Christians don't entangle themselves in the "affairs" of this world (especially politics). Nothing is more demonic than politics...except maybe religion. If there are...

Without law there is chaos...does chaos save anyone? Grace is found WITHIN the law of God....not outside of it. God IS love but He MAKES laws to help keep order and the possibility of salvation for us. Law is escape from the random chaos of events.

Here is a way to see how indoctrinated a person is....by the words of Jesus. Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Mat.9 :12 But when Jesus...

It is an indoctrinated idea that everyone has the righteousness of Christ in doing the simplest things right. If a child draws a nice picture...is that by the righteousness of Christ in your view? Yet we are all to become as children. The easiest way to understand is the best way...unless we...

The bible is full of instances of men and women being righteous by their own choices. Study the bible and see for yourself. I have posted many such verses many times. But people are very slow to see the truth. Of course. But you are thinking that all who are not in Christ are going to hell. So...

Again what Paul did and what we do are not the same. We are each unique on our own journey of faith...even if the best way is to walk in the faith OF Jesus Christ. You are confused I'm afraid. You aren't reading the bible properly. ALL have sinned...but whoever sins does not know Christ...THAT...

Each person has to go to Christ. You can't live vicariously through Paul. If Paul describes a proximity to Christ he experienced that doesn't make it automatic for all his readers. It is religion that does this sort of thing. What it should do is cause us to seek the Lord for what he...

Glad you have been reformed and welcome here! :)

See what I mean...o_O:rolleyes:

Only if confusing Abraham with Jesus is being on the ball. Phinehas was also deemed righteous for what he did...kill a man and woman. Same words to justify him as with Abraham. "Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. And that was counted unto him for...

Seeing that God's imputes the righteousness of Christ on a person must be in the kool-aid...because it isn't in the bible. You don't understand that God justifies people for what THEY do. We will be judged according to what WE have done...not Jesus. But you are deaf and blind so you can't read...

This can be easily misunderstood to mean that anyone who does anything right is just like Jesus in His full Personhood. But this speaks of the humanity of Jesus. The bible doesn't lie...and Peter says that they who do righteousness are ACCEPTED with God. Are they exactly like Jesus in EVERY...

OK. With humans there is always a good and bad side. The good side of it is the bible translated into the language of the people. The bad side is all the theo-illogical nonsense that accompanied that. :) Just read up on the histories of Luther and Calvin. They were like Paul...but BEFORE his...

I marvel at the comic book interpretations people put on the bible. The robes that the saints wear in the future kingdom are they the righteousness of Christ or their own righteousness learned by Christ being formed in them? Rev. 19:8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen...

Actually a direct contradiction of your man made indoctrination. Imputing righteousness is only righteous if the one receiving the imputation is ACTUALLY righteous. Otherwise you are endorsing fables. God does NOT endorse fables. People like you do, however. That is in your own mind....not the...

None of us have God's righteousness. That is impossible. None of us has God's power or His good looks either! ;) What is God's remains God's. His holiness is always His own. But we can become partakers of His attributes by entering into Christ. All these attributes of God are found in Him...not...

And yet Protestantism is growing with the masses. And that is very understandable seeing it is based on human logic...a very flawed logic based on a complete subversion of the truth of the gospel. I'm not saying this to champion Catholicism. All of man's ways are like filthy rags.
