Dear friend I sense your confusion. Reading long perplexing statements by people who are unsaved will not help you at all. You say you are saved but I would like to hear more about your experience. How did you get saved? It's fruitless to begin to discuss salvation without an account of your being born again. Could you please tell what happened in your life to bring you to Say that you are saved? I'd like to hear what happened to bring you to God. You must be born again. This is a real experience not just a figure of speech. After Jesus truly saves you, you really do become a new creation. Old things have past away all things are made new. Thank you for questioning your experiences.

Self righteousness is not acceptable to God. Only the perfect righteousness of Christ is acceptable to God. If a man sees himself as good enough or without sin then he sins by boasting of himself before God and counting the blood of Christ of no value.

Scripture tells us over and over again that all men sin. Not all men sin to the same extent but that all men sin and any sin even the seemingly smallest and most insignificant sin is sufficient to condemn us before God.

For the cause of Christ

Yes, But only one person ever lived up to that standard and that was Christ.

What we have to do is determiner whose defenition of evil we are using, Gods interpretation, or ours

If we are using Gods, Adam and Eve ate a fruit, we see how evil God thought that was..

Only Jesus lived up to Gods standard.

as for the rest of us?

For ALL have SINNED and FALL SHORT of the GLORY of GOD.

Yes, if someone never did any evil God would let them in.

The problem is that everyone sins and does something wrong, so the realistic answer to your question is: without Christ its impossible to be reconciled to God.

Someone might ask the question,why are we reconciled to GOD by the death of JESUS on a wooden cross?
