good, I didn't remember any of the past posts about this -- just the general posts by others who are not righteous and who think and post that no one is righteous and that no one can do what is right...... re post 249 et al
so who is righteous do you think ? (anybody?) - and which group are you in ? the righteous as yahweh calls righteous,
or the unrighteous as yahweh calls it ?
1 John 3:6-8Revised Standard Version (RSV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP]No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him. [SUP]7[/SUP]Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, as he is righteous. [SUP]8 [/SUP]He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

Ezekiel 18:4-9Revised Standard Version (RSV)
4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins shall die.
5 “If a man is righteous and does what is lawful and right— 6 if he does not eat upon the mountains or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, does not defile his neighbor’s wife or approach a woman in her time of impurity, 7 does not oppress any one, but restores to the debtor his pledge, commits no robbery, gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with a garment, 8 does not lend at interest or take any increase, withholds his hand from iniquity, executes true justice between man and man, 9 walks in my statutes, and is careful to observe my ordinances[a]—he is righteous, he shall surely live, says the Lord God.
