This does not quite work if one side accept our mortality and growth from being sinners into saints to a point where we are totally acceptable to Christ and the other do not.
It is an interesting criticism of saying as an insult "own deeds of righteousness".
How can deeds of righteousness be not good and if they are done by the believer they will always be their "own" not someone elses?
It shows the ethic is how dare you be good people, that is so evil. This is what is wrong behind the process. Good things are good things and evil things are evil things. Shinning the light is shinning the light on all people that good is good and evil is evil separate from faith.
But here is a christian group saying this is not true. Then what is the morality and victory in Christ people are showing that Jesus is talking about? Being defeated in sin but praising the Lord and going to heaven?
What did you think Paul meant when he said, he no longer judged himself, this does not make him innocent, but it is the LORD who will judge..
But Paul also was not aware of any guilt..his conscience was clear...
Are you trying to "help" the saints or are you trying to suggest to the saints that maybe they are sinning?
Don't you understand that the very thing that you are even suggesting is the very thing that Paul said, anyone who suggests this, their own condemnation is deserved?
Who takes the GIFT of GOD'S GRACE as a license to sin?
Do you suggest that those who will NOT profess any of their works are sitting on their laurels and are doing nothing?
Or do you suggest that you are doing more than the least of the saints?
In which case, you do what Job would not do and understood he could NOT do.
You profess yourself...and this has a catch 22 in it sir...because it suggests that you can open your mouth before GOD and "state your case"
What "righteous deed" do you have to remind GOD of that HE might have overlooked?
That is why Job would NOT open his mouth before GOD lest his mouth cause him to sin.
For a man, on that day, to stand before GOD and remind GOD of all his "most righteous works" is a man, not only exalting himself (as if he can sit side by side with GOD and state his case) but he also, whether he knowingly or unknowingly does it, deems his brothers (members of one species) less righteous than himself.
There is NOTHING that we can bring before GOD on that day...for nothing will be exalted above the GIFT OF GOD...which is CHRIST...
