Imagine a Christian that disagrees with this statement from the Savior...


And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
Since Jesus is God He wasn't referring to Himself. You seem to be the only here saying Jesus wasn't good.

Jesus was not God when he said that.

Jesus said God is a Spirit during that time in his life.

You think Jesus was a Spirit in that conversation with the ruler?

Actually I think you're heading for Hell fire. You said Jesus wasn't good!

So, if we denounce what Jesus said here, we can miss hell?

I asked you these questions why are you running away from them ?

This says much about your weak position and much about mine as the Truth.

scripture says there is NONE righteous not ONE. is Jesus righteous ? yes or no
scripture says there is NONE who does good no not ONE. did Jesus do good ? yes or no
scripture says ALL have sinned. did Jesus sin ? yes or no

Its OBVIOUS why you are running away from them !

hope this helps !!!

As you denounce Jesus' statement...ask yourself this...


Was the first Adam in the garden good per God's standards?

If yes, then why did God warn him not to sin?

Jesus is the last Adam. he could have sinned too, but chose not to.

This is why he, as the 2nd son of God, had to die to qualify to be made good per God's standards(no more possibility to sin after death)..

Now you understand why Jesus included himself in "only God is good".

You didn't read my post you quoted.

You don't want to know why Jesus said this...

He was saying to the ruler "Do you know who I Am and who you are speaking too?

Is that what he was inadvertently saying?

Does Jesus inadvertently explain things?

If you were that ruler, would you have come up with your highlighted quote?

I guarantee the ruler had no idea of what you just said.


And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.


John 7:16-18 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. [17] If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. [18] He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

He always pointed to the Father. Would that not include ‘And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.’

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

I know why Jesus said that which is why I started this thread in the first place. The OP is irrefutable for it is the TRUTH. Jesus is the way, the TRUTH and the LIFE.

There is none righteous no not one but Jesus is Righteous
All have sinned but Jesus was SINLESS
There is none who does good no not one but Jesus whole life was doing GOOD
There is none good but God yet Jesus is God , called God and worshiped as God.

hope this helps !!!

Correct, the good God was in Jesus, not the good God was Jesus.

Jesus could have fallen into sin but chose not to.

He was saying only a being that cannot possibly sin(God) is good per that standard of "good".

Get it yet?
