So then mixing righteousnesses (Ours and God's) is a great evil...that has dire consequences...as IT DESTOYS BOTH our own righteousness AND God's. Look at this.. Is. 5:6 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. 17Then shall...

Look at Phinehas...the man who killed 2 lovers. Did he kill them because he wanted to have salvation? Or did he do it because he thought it was necessary? God justified him JUST LIKE ABRAHAM....and with a higher honour. So then let's look at Phinehas. Num. 25:7 And when Phinehas, the son of...

You're not getting it. The religious think as you do. A person who God justifies is not looking to be justified. A righteous person doesn't think they are righteous. God does, however. We are NOT talking about salvation. Please disconnect....even for a second...righteousness from an obsession...

I would like to begin sorting out righteousness so as to avoid mixture. I'll use colours. :) Let's say OUR righteousness...is yellow. Let's say God's righteousness....is blue. When these are mixed together....we get green. This mixture is iniquity... We are called to purge ourselves from...

Hey Brakelite. I don't think we have chatted too much yet...:) Here you are going for the whole enchalada. I find that people miss the righteousness of God by missing what righteousness is altogether. But yes, WE who are called to follow Christ are to go all the way to the full stature of...

The Logos (YHVH) WAS God. God hides a word...(davar) as it is written in Prov.25:2 Jesus is that davar (word) And that word is YHVH. It is hidden in plain sight so that people can't see it.

The Logos (YHVH) became flesh and dwelt among us....as was prophesied. "I (YHVH) will dwell in your midst." All praise to God.

In those days a centurion earned 15 times more than a basic legionary. What's a man to do with all that cash?

The point that I was making was how a person is deemed righteous by works and not just by belief.

Jesus wasn't a prophet? "I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” ....no one...not a prophet.... Jesus is speaking from His divinity here.

Jesus said that there was no man greater than John the Baptist...born of a woman. If ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory....ALL...how could Jesus be without sin? The answer of course is that Jesus was YHVH with the Father (they were ONE) creating the world together. After the...

God, in His mercy remembered this righteous Gentile...and even sent Peter to preach the gospel to him personally. God visits the righteous and calls the sinners to repent.

Cornelius...in Acts 10:22 ...a just man (righteous) who gave to the synagogue.

People want eternal security? Embrace humility and obscurity.

Humility is safety...knowing we are not offending God or anyone with this posture. It is better to be uplifted than debased.

That's one way to be righteous for sure. But there are other ways...like the "good" Samaritan....who loved his neighbour with actions and character. Or like the Centurion who gave to the synagogue. We must guard against only seeing one way. Jesus showed us more than one way to be righteous...

That is your take on the gospel? What is the doctrine of Christ?

Rev. 22:11 is a key to understanding how God classifies humans. This is a big study. People are often seen as righteous...based on their actions and character. All through both testaments. Even Gentiles. The righteous are scarcely saved.The righteous walk in their own power. All the righteous...

Demons can sense God's Spirit.

That's a relief! Which gospel? What is the true nature of the gospel you speak of? Is it according to self-interest of is it concerned with the things of God?
