Listen, if someone were to say to you: crossnote you are good. What would your answer be?
I already told you. There is no inherent goodness in me.

I, personally would say, "I am only good through Christ."

I believe that is the point Crossnote is trying to make.

LOL I've never seen so much beating around the bush.

My answer would be the same as Jesus's answer. "no one is good, save one, that is, YHVH. (KJV)

Don't forget Jesus was a Jewish man he knew full well there is only one God and only that one God is good

notice that the Lord didn't say "i am no good" -- but He asked that certain rich young man a leading, rhetorical question. :)

Notice I didn't say it either, does it mean you think I am claiming to God? I made no such thing as a leading rhetorical question or whatever you called it. Like me, Jesus made a simple factual statement.

I'll say it again. No one is good, save one, that is, YHVH.

the Lord also says,

"
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."
(John 10:11)

in Him there is no lie!

Truth, we all can be good at what we do but it doesn't make us God.

BEating around the budh, fine, my last response...
Jesus is God incarnate, Jesus is good;
I am a sinner saved by grace, apart from Him I am not good.
If you are denying Jesus' deity, Lord help you, I can't.

But Jesus didn't say "I (Jesus) am good" or "we are good" . He rebuked the man and stated a fact to which I wholeheartedly agree with, only one is good and that one is God. The same way anyone who knows the one true God should have answered.

Take off your blinders! Luke 18:19
Why do you call Me good ? No one is good except God alone NASU

You are truly a traditionalist with blinder on!



That proves nothing of the sort...
Except that Jesus alone was good and therefore God.

Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and f

Matthew 28:9-10 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

John 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

There are dozens of similar passages. So please.

Prove what you say with simple scripture without adding to the word or your just preaching. But to maybe improve your clarity of my heart as I think you presume much, let me add some information for you. My Lord and Savior is everything to me. It was the Lord who first touched me and the one thing about that I will share with you here and now is: When the son of God touches you, the one thing you will know is that: When the Love Yeshua has for us falls upon us in His visitation, the Love we experience will never leave you. How can anyone fell such a Love and not love back, I Love my Lord, but He was sent by God (Yhvh) that we might come to know Yhvh and it is our love for Yhvh that brings Yeshua joy.


Did Moses received any worship at his feet? No!

But Jesus is not like Moses, He was the living temple of GOD, when He came down but, is a temple God? No! He is His Son, His chosen ONE, His Messiah (My Lord) and I do believed what He taught His disciples. :)

He is in effect saying to the rich young ruler, ''If you call me good then prepare to see me God, for there is none good but God''. And what's with this 'traditionalist' name calling? Does that automatically prove someone wrong because you cry 'traditonalist!'?

Wow, [SUP]1 [/SUP]In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [SUP]2 [/SUP]He was in the beginning with God. [SUP]3 [/SUP]All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. [SUP]4 [/SUP]In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. [SUP]5 [/SUP]And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. Am I missing something, I see allot of names from God, and that is neat, but there is only one God and He says there is no other!

OK, [SUP]1 [/SUP]In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [SUP]2 [/SUP]The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

they do not contradict each other, same person. Why do we have such a hard time with our triune God? The Father is not the Son, and the Son is not the Father, and the Spirit is not the Father nor the Son, difficult to follow, the Father with the Spirit worked in the Old Testament, and then we had Christ, the Son work in the New Testament, and now in this Church area we have the Spirit, sealed in us working.

We know that the Temple is unlike any Church, a sanctuary anywhere is not a sacred building or any other Church is a sacred building. There are no sacred buildings like the Temple, we know that, that Temple that sat there in Jerusalem, which now the Mosque of Omar sits on that land, was the only place that God said, the brazen alter could be put and the animal sacrifices could be given. It was the only geographical spot in the world, where the Holy Place and Holy of Holies could be. So what I’m not trying to say today is that in our Churches we have some counter part of the Temple, we know that. In fact the Bible says that we’re the Temple of the Holy Spirit.

I again remind you that just to post a verse without relating what you get out of it is speaking down to others, arrogance.

make up your mind!

But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out,
“Lord, save me.”​
Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him,
O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”​
And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying,
“Truly you are the Son of God.”
(Matthew 14:30-33)

so Jesus received and did not reject worship from men.

will i be spitefully accused for posting scripture? for explaining that here it is recorded that the Son of God is worthy to be praised?:p
if you would hear my advice Woodartdon, it would be to love your brothers, not curse them, and then you can have fellowship and together we can be edified and strengthened by the Word. it serves the enemy to tear each other down, ignoring the clear Word of God.
