27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
Just read the scriptures and stop listening to false gospels. He is righteous, His followers are to do righteously. That may be bollocks to some folk, however, it is scripture.

John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you; that you love one another as I have loved you that you also love one another".
1 John 2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hate's his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 He that love's his brother abide's in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
John 13:35 By this all men will know you are my disciples if you have love one to another.
Walking as Jesus walked is to walk in love. 1 John 4:8
Personal holiness is a result of walking in the Spirit. Gal 5:16
Religious spirits always seem to focus on sin, self and performance in order to be saved and or maintain their precarious hold on salvation.. There is little love or joy in them.

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.…
I am not against living a holy life and ceasing from living a life of sin but I also know that to be completely rid of all sin to say one has no sin and no longer sins at all such a person is only lying to themselves we sin withing our own very thoughts every day when we look at someone. It's not a matter of not ever sinning that makes one holy and righteous clean and spotless before God it's a matter of the heart of that person, a pure heart is not one that never sins a pure heart in the eyes of God is one that is full of love that adores and hungers for him with every fiber of their soul one that seeks to love all others just as God does one that is willing to go that far for the sake of just one person no matter who they are or what they have done even isis.
If I am ever to be holy and pure spotless clean and righteous it won't be because I never sin it's going to be because of the relationship and love between God and I for all others, there is a lot more to being a Christian than what you perceive and all of this-life faith even eternity in heaven goes far deeper than you know. Many like you have forgotten what it means to be a Christian or more specifically a follower and child of God and so he uses babes like me to remind you, skinski do you know the cost of being strong in the lord is? Do you know that it may very well require you to suffer greatly and intensely for his sake and for all others sake? and do you accept the costs?
The way I see it and the way it has been for me ever since I first began in faith we either go all the way or not at all we either give it everything we have in faith in love and in Christ or else there is no point not some of the way not half way not even most of the way but all the way no matter the cost how far we have to go what we have to go through or what we have to lose. I am not afraid of my weakness or my sinful nature I am not afraid of death and i am not afraid to go so far as to burn in the very fires of hell itself for sake of one lost child no matter how evil or cruel their hearts are because my love and my faith and hope and trust in God is far stronger than my fear of all of this. With God by my side what do I have to fear? what limits is there that he and I cannot do? what limits is there as to how far he and I would go for the sake of another out of such a love that only comes from his heart?
