if you try to answer every question with just one verse you will never get the truth. Jesus' reference to the righteous is not a bad one...but a good one. He would have all men to be righteous. But getting back to what God sees as righteous....what justified the sheep in the Sheep/goats...

Of course it does. You are just not able to see more than one thing at a time. The truth is like a long pipe where one must never try picking it up by one end only. You need to find the balance and lift from there. Try it as an experiment.

Prov. 20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

Does acting with mercy make someone merciful? Does killing people for money make them as assassin? Does a person who works for a living make them a worker? This will come as a huge shock but... prov. 20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

That's right. One holds up God's righteousness in holiness BY righteousness. There are no shortcuts to being as Christ in the world.

Righteous is as righteous does. We will all be judged for what we have DONE in the body whether good or bad. Especially believers. There is a religious error and fallacy that misunderstands what the righteousness of God is. This is not INSTEAD of doing what is right. That's not the same thing...

Saturday evenings for the main meeting. Otherwise at any time during the week. ;) The modern church is like a hospital. It is not a place for spiritual growth...but like an asylum for people with difficulties. Did I mention the poor level of teaching?

Do you mean do I fellowship with other believers...of course. I oversee a fellowship of believers in a house church.

You do realize that there is an archive here that negates having to write dozens of pages of the same explanations over and over again. Check out this thread...The Righteous

Modern churches do not teach about righteousness because they want to fill pews and make money. They need numbers not truth. I have written other threads about righteousness. Look in my "featured threads." The Righteous

# 35 the one before you responded with "that would be a no"...thereby not reading what I wrote...again.

Jesus did not come to call the righteous to repentance...since these repent of themselves and seek to do what is right by nature.

You answered your own question by confusing a common righteousness...and God's righteousness. It's like confusing a man's strength with God's strength. An indoctrinated person can't see the difference and see that a human strength is not necessarily a bad thing...just insufficient.

Be holy as God is holy. Be ye perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect....etc Do you know what "dead to sin" means?

Did you read the line where I said..."for instance" giving you an example?????

What are you speaking of?

The whole bible testifies of these things. But if you throw out one verse when you see another...you are bouncing around without learning anything. Do a study on righteousness using a concordance. For instance...Jesus did NOT come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners. If you...

OK a good question. Holiness is to enter into Christ and walk in HIS presence and power. Righteousness is to do what is right with what one has been given. This is not a "Christian" thing...it is a basic honesty and love of others that all men can have. The righteousness of God only works if...

I am talking to you but you aren't tracking. You aren't reading. I can't physically make you read what I'm writing. I don't know how else to communicate with you besides with writing...so then the weak link is your reading. Re-read again...until you understand the point. And then re-read again...

Unless our own righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees...that means DOING as we say we believe... then there is no hope for us. The Pharisees said things...but didn't follow it up with actions. If we do the same then our righteousness is just as theirs is. How can our righteousness exceed...
