Scripture says you are in err Epi, concerning one of your main premises concerning your righteousness of self and its perfection today.

Hey Apak! You went through the whole bible and sought God on direction about righteousness....in less than an hour?

My righteousness of self? I don't claim to be righteous. So you have three fingers pointing back at you while you point at me. You are the one who claims to be righteous...justified.
You know there are two types of righteousness for a genuine believer?
You claimed I was wrong for suggesting that very thing. Then after less than an hour you tell me what I told you. Imagine how much more you would throw back at me...what I told you...if you just did more digging...

You need more study...more prayer...and more revelation.

You deliberately just ignored scripture and did not address it that says you are in err. Address it and admit you are wrong or stay quite for a change. You are not perfect in righteousness today!!!

I'm the one ignoring plain scripture????? You are a barrel of laughs today....:D

For those who ENTER INTO Christ...put on HIS perfection.
You are thinking carnally...about your flesh...and not the things of Christ. Put on Christ. He is our sanctification, righteousness...wisdom...etc

You are so stuck on a human performance that you can't hear the gospel.

Get those ears cleaned out...get some reading glasses. :rolleyes:

You are not perfect in righteousness today!!!
So what are we exactly?

Deu_9:4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

Deu_9:5
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Psa_4:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call,
O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.


Psa_24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Psa_45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Psa_48:10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth:
thy right hand is full of righteousness.

Psa_51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

Psa_65:5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

Psa_71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD:
I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

Isa_5:16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

Isa_41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Isa_48:1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

Isa_58:2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.

Isa_61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Jer_51:10 The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.

Zec_8:8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

Mat_6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Rom_1:17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Rom_3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend
the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

Rom_3:21
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Rom_3:22
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:


Too much philosophizing--no scriptures.

Amen. Nailed those justifiers of the flesh...

It is God praising time! :)
The Greek New Testament word for “righteousness” primarily describes conduct in relation to others, especially with regards to the rights of others in business, in legal matters, and beginning with relationship to God. It is contrasted with wickedness, the conduct of the one who, out of gross self-centeredness, neither reveres God nor respects man. The Bible describes the righteous person as just or right, holding to God and trusting in Him (Psalm 33:18–22).

The bad news is that true and perfect righteousness is not possible for man to attain on his own; the standard is simply too high. The good news is that true righteousness is possible for mankind, but only through the cleansing of sin by Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We have no ability to achieve righteousness in and of ourselves. But Christians possess the righteousness of Christ, because “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). This is an amazing truth. On the cross, Jesus exchanged our sin for His perfect righteousness so that we can one day stand before God and He will see not our sin, but the holy righteousness of the Lord Jesus.

This means that we are made righteous in the sight of God; that is, that we are accepted as righteous and treated as righteous by God on account of what the Lord Jesus has done. He was made sin; we are made righteousness. On the cross, Jesus was treated as if He were a sinner, though He was perfectly holy and pure, and we are treated as if we were righteous, though we are defiled and depraved. On account of what the Lord Jesus has endured on our behalf, we are treated as if we had entirely fulfilled the Law of God and had never become exposed to its penalty. We have received this precious gift of righteousness from the God of all mercy and grace. To Him be the glory!

Many religious spirits have entered into the churches to prop up the flesh and turn spiritual life into the death of religious dogmatism.
and any other religion , other than FAITH IN JESUS props up the flesh , its all religious dogmatism .
You can see the truth of the error within the christain realm , YET , YET YOU think other religions are saved by their good works .
ITS ALL SELF RIGHTESOUS RELIGIOUS DOGMATISM if the follower DONT FOLLOW JESUS . You cannot see
your error . For you rightly point out the faults within christendom , for many are self righteous
AND YET you somehow think other religions doing good works IS FINE . WHEN ITS ALL SELF . ALL SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS .

Self-righteousness is everywhere. It's VERY dishonest to point it out in others and deny it among ourselves. God judges those outside. We are to look at the state of our own affairs.

You weren't suggesting we be hypocrites, right?

I thought God did the justifying? I think what you mean to say is that OUR religion is used to justify ourselves and condemn others.

You are being humble right?
No man is JUSTIFED lest HE COME TO CHRIST . EPI , you are an attacker of all that is HOLY .
HOW can a man be justied without faith in CHRIST .
EVEN the jews messed up on that one . THEY SOUGHT IT NOT BY FAITH but as it were by the works of the law .
YOU SEEM to justify anyone and anything , IF they simply have some good works . bad news EPI
it didnt work out for the jews . GOD IS THE JUDGE and HE HAS CLEARLY SAID , FAITH IN CHRIST ALONE JUSTIFES
but according to EPI , GOD and CHRIST are WRONG and EPI and pope francis are right . YOU in dire danger

Keep on preaching @amigo de christo after all, we have freedom of speech, it is our constitutional right, as well of those who are extreme "leftists" and cannot see the wood from the trees.
