Nobody can be self righteous for God said our righteousness is as filthy rags,and there is none that does good,no not one,and all are sinners and come short of the glory of God.
The only way we can be righteous is by the Holy Spirit and then God gets the glory.
For someone to act as if they are morally superior is against the Bible for God said what makes you different than another person.God talks against people who think they are holier than thou and nobody can act like that even if they have better morals for God gets the glory and if they think they are superior than it does not come from the Spirit.
God said if any person thinks they stand,take heed lest you fall.
We live in the last days where the Bible said would be many hypocritical people claiming to be with Christ who live somewhat like the world,and it is true I do not see many people who care about the poor and homeless.
But it must be so and eventually the New Age religion's interpretation of Christianity will be the fundamental Christianity in the world where all religions will accept it for Jesus is not the Savior but a teacher of truth as well as other teachers and is based on nature worship that exalts man that God warns us about in 1 Timothy 4.God is saying do not follow that interpretation that the New Age religion is dishing out.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted(Luke 18:9-14).
