Actually no more so than to declare one's own righteousness through one's beliefs.

That's not true. God is just as available today as before. The alternative to fellowship with God is to go to men to be indoctrinated into an excuse to NOT have to go directly to God. So men declare themselves justified because they haven't yet encountered God. Those who have encountered God...

I am trying to teach very basic things here...and hardly getting anywhere because of religious indoctrinations that cause pride and arrogance...and ultimately condemnation from God. It is for the good of others that I post. So they can flee from that which displeases the Lord.

See the arrogance that indoctrination brings. Claim it and be judged by THAT standard. So if you fail at the law of God...you will be judged for it. What about humility? Pray about it.

Most believers steer always the same course...either always tuning left or always turning right. So they go in circles all their lives. (of course some will stick with somewhere in the middle and cling to that course until they hit a rock or cliff...only to sink or be shipwrecked. The point is...

Why do you compare the things of God with a man-made opinion? Where do you think Calvin got his unbalanced view from? From the truth. So then the truth SOMETIMES sounds like what Calvin spoke of...and SOMETINES sounds like what Arminius spoke of. But neither is right. Again...if you can't...

Actually your verse is not saying what you think...the work of God is NOT what you can do. God's work is ...that you believe TO Jesus. To enter INTO Him. No one can believe TO Jesus...to be where He is...unless taken there by the Father. It is God's power that does this. if you are not where...

A born again person has a renewed conscience....so that they become as the righteous ones...like children in regards to evil. Now they can serve righteousness...and maybe even go further and enter into Christ...if they seek hard for that. But where do we go from a new birth? To an...

Rom. 2:13 "for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified." Are you just a hearer of the law....or the doer? Are you obedient or disobedient?

Phinehas was also justified...same words...for killing idolators. So then are we to kill idolators too in order to be justified? God CHOOSES whom He will justify. There is no outer pattern to follow. It is an inner pattern. Also Abraham NEVER declared himself as righteous...as we so often...

There is much religious confusion in the churches of today. Doing good comes from the conscience...knowing what is good and evil...from the point of view of men. So we can know well enough that helping others is good...whereas killing them is wrong. So on the basic level of what men can...

Of course. We will all be judged by our works. And our words. No one is going to be judged on their beliefs. We will be judged BY our beliefs and the standard we held others to. As we judge...so we will be judged. If we look down on people of other religions...then our behaviour will be...

Not necessarily..,.we can do good works from our own consciences...unto righteousness. Yes! :) God working through us to do His works....that God willed from eternity that we should do.

Actually and accurately being justified or declared blameless is to be right with God. But righteous is as righteous does. It is by faith AND actions...works...that we will be justified. Of course it is God who decides who does what is right. A righteous person doesn't realize they are...

Yes...blameless is to be deemed righteous by God. Accepted as you say. Insofar as we want to do what is right...but can't do this perfectly ...unless of course we are walking in the Spirit...we are justified by God by a broken attitude of humility before God and men.

Do you think that Jesus crucified Himself? Why would He allow the Romans to do that for Him? We can only surrender ourselves to be crucified. Being crucified inwardly is the work of God. This takes place through surrender to God's will. A full surrender. God knows when we are fully...

It is your interpretation that is lacking. Why do you trust men...and your own understanding of men rather than what is written for all to read...and also to allow yourself to be led by the Spirit? Theologians can't even agree on the basics in the word. And study will never measure up to...

It is God's righteousness that decides what is acceptable in our actions. God is the One who justifies. God judges. When we judge from ourselves we are doing so outside of God's righteousness. When we judge we are seeking to establish our own righteousness. Does it say that Abraham believed God...

The opposite is true. You are merely displaying a partisan religious position based on theory...that doesn't stand up to even the most basic biblical investigation let alone experience. Holiness is found in God..and His Son....never is that holiness our own. That we may be partakers of HIS...

The sabbath rest is not meant as a threat to mankind. The rest is in the Spirit by the grace of God. If we fail that grace we will be separated from God...that is the death...a death to holiness and God's presence. But these can still inherit the earth. But God is merciful and accepts the...
