Sorry I missed this one Naomi... :) Because many evangelicals don't recognize any righteousness but their own. Just like the Pharisees did. I'm trying to debunk these unbiblical teachings...with proper sound teaching. :) We need to see what is of us....and what is of God. The devil has...

Here is a prophecy that fits the modern church. Ez. 13:22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: How many preachers fit the bill here?

Abraham did not declare himself righteous because he believed God. He just believed God and left it to God to think as He wills. Abraham let God be the judge. If we judge ourselves as righteous because of our beliefs...we are doubly sinful. We will be judged harshly. We are just to do what is...

Here is a verse that will cause more religious snits... ;) Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. What it doesn't say is...He who accepts Jesus is accepted by God. God doesn't respect our opinions. Or...only he who is already...

It depends how we do it. We should do it in a spiritual way and avoid DOING IT MAN'S WAY. God will show you how to affect the world. No need for politics. That is the way of men.

Too religious. The actual qualifications are to fear God and to work righteousness. (Acts 10:36) That is how you become acceptable to God. So you have it backwards. Are you wiser then the apostle James? Do you have more wisdom than the bible? Or are you just a modern person who has...

"It" is singular. But we all know that it is a HE ...not an IT. The word (logos or YHVH) was God. And He became flesh and dwelt among us.

Very few people will live a holy life. These live inside the fire of God. But the light and heat given off by that light produces the salt of the earth. So then there are many righteous and few holy people. It is like a little fire that produces the heat in the world. So you have to decide...

Paul says that the Scriptures are good for instruction in righteousness. He was talking about the OT. We know that God's righteousness is a gift. But if that was the kind of righteousness talked about in the OT....how can one learn it? You don't learn a gift. So the Paul is admonishing...

holiness + sin= SIN People who preach the above response are looking for a salvation IN sin. They want the fleshly man to inherit life. The Old Man of sin wants to be justified. So then the whole argument denies the cross.

A Christian doesn't entangle himself in the affairs of this life. At least that's how I read it. 2 Tim. 2:4 No one serving as a soldier entangles himself in the affairs of this life, that he might please the one having enlisted him.

Righteousness does not mean to be blameless exactly. And salvation is something else again. I'm not the one mixing apples and oranges. The right thing to do....IS what righteousness requires. So if you do what is right...you are righteous. There is no "milk of human kindness" mentioned in the...

That is the Greek "autos" which can mean him, or it. It is a loophole that is used by the modern Arianists....to deny the divinity of Jesus. "IT" was God????

Why would someone say something like that? That's the point. God is not a communist. God hates flags. God doesn't rollerblade. God doesn't dangle participles. etc... What is the point?

Simple....yet priceless. :)

The grace of God is great if you walk in it. Otherwise they are just words that describe a potential...and a great potential for error. .. But how does one procure this grace and this salvation? They are not some magic formula that if you say...grace of God...finished work...you can then have...

So then our righteousness is...doing the right thing with what we have been given. It is in a human capacity. So then if we have money....and we give it away to someone in need...we have done a good thing. Anybody can do this. Think of the widow's 2 mites. But His righteousness is Christ...

We cannot sin inside the tank...as the environment will not permit it. We need to forsake sin in order to enter into His shelter. We practice righteousness because we are IN Him. We are talking here of an eternal kind of righteousness...whereby we do things that were prepared in...

Tanks!
