From the parable, we are taught that the "haughty" pharisee was not justified because of his disobedience, but the other who humbled himself before God in obedience to God's own commandment went away justified. So my question to you now is where is "grace" mentioned in that instance?

But that verse does not say what the OP says the letters of Paul say which is haat we are justified by grace. Jesus Christ(The Grace and Truth of God) is the New Covenant promised by God, the Law of the Kingdom of Heaven( complete with it's own set of blessings, curses, ritual...

According to Jesus Christ, you are made perfect only when you accept(trust) and obey His teachings/commandments. Those who refuse to accept(trust) and obey His teachings/commandments, though they believe in Jesus Christ, are not made perfect by Him... And what does it mean to become perfect...

Mercy and Compassion, is God's grace which He pours out on all of Mankind daily - yes, even on the wicked and ungrateful. But the Grace of God that we are gifted by simply believing(believe He is sent of God, Be baptized, and eat of His Last supper) in Jesus Christ, is Eternal life(grace upon...

If you are looking for the grace of God as concerns the Gospel of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, shouldn't you look in the Gospels where the teachings of Jesus Christ are in fact contained? In John 1 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the...

Here's a simple question for you. Can you please provide substantiation, from any of the 4 Gospels where the teachings of Jesus Christ, the New Covenant and grace of God to us, for any of the statements listed in your original post there?

The Truth of God(Jesus Christ Himself) does not live inside of those who refuse to accept(trust) and obey His teachings/commandments indeed. John 15 1. “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does...

Jesus Christ, on the other hand, taught His followers that the only way to be free from sin is to accept(trust) and obey His commandments/teachings. By following His teachings/commandments, we are truly His followers and are set free from sin by our knowing of His Truth. John 8 31 So Jesus said...

I am not sure if you know this but Jesus Christ is the embodiment of the New Covenant that God promised us, a covenant separate from the Old Covenant and for a different purpose too. Jesus Christ, the New Covenant, comes complete with about 8 blessings, 20 something curses, 2 promises(Eternal...

What God said of your Queen of Heaven 1. The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Judeans who lived in the land of Egypt, at Migdol, at Tahpanhes, at Memphis, and in the land of Pathros, 2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You have seen all the disaster that I brought...

A Knowing can only be gotten through God Himself. In Jeremiah 31:31-34, God says that He will put His write His teachings on the tablets of our hearts. 31 This is what the Lord said, “The time is coming when I will make a new agreement with the family of Israel and with the family of Judah. 32...

I agree.

According to Jeremiah 17, those who put their trust in Man or flesh and blood are cursed by God. 5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. 6 He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come...

The dead refers to the unbelievers who, from the time of Adam in the Garden of Eden, are condemned by God to perish(cease to exist/nothingness) in their graves. The living are the righteous, as well as those who believe in God through Jesus Christ, have been redeemed from the condemnation of...

Jesus Christ is the New Covenant Law by which we are called to live. His very teachings are the Truth and His Words are Spirit. According to Him, anyone who wants to become a follower of Him has to accept(Trust) and obey His commandments/teachings. It is only to those who trust and obey Him that...

I tend to agree with John there because if you read on the rest of what he said in the same context... 1 John 1: 8-10 8 If we say that we have no sin, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 But if we confess our sins, God will forgive us. We can trust God to do this. He always...

You claim we all "fall short" but right there beginning from verse 27, Peter tells you that we all do no such thing. Peter and the other apostles did what the rich young man could not do. There are no excuses for those who refuse to obey. And again, there is no mention of a "sin" in that...

I don't go to church because Jesus Christ, the one who is the Law for me, never commanded that I go to Church. You see, Jesus Christ is the New Covenant which God Himself sent me to live by. And just like the Old Covenant, it is a sin to add or remove from the commandments of God. Read Mark 7...

Are you trying to ask whether I believe the Bible is the "Word of God", holy and all that?

I am afraid that is not what the apostles in fact said. Consider the same set of verses in their original context and see how they take on an entirely different meaning from the one you assumed there Matthew 19:16-30 16 A man came to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to have...
