Then the only way the Word can save you...
You have to obey it.
Thank you for your help.

You deny the revealed written Word of God.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--
and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--

How about the Righteousness of Christ?

Does His Righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees?
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
(from Rom. 5)

How about God's Righteousness?

Is God's Righteousness a righteousness that exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees?
21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
(from 2 Cor. 5)​

Because that's the Righteousness that those in Christ have - Christ's Righteousness (which is also God's Righteousness, because Jesus is God).

Unless they were in Christ, receiving the free gifts of Forgiveness, Righteousness, and New Life, they were rejected.

Everyone who believes in Christ is accepted by God. See Jn. 3 and Rom. 10.

None of you have the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

How could you knowing you...believe such an absurd lie?

The next time you do something shamefully evil...

say oh that was the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

Shamefully evil, huh? You mean like starting a troll thread that preaches a false gospel?

Not my thing.

And as a believer in Christ I don't want to sin, but if I do, I have an Advocate Who always lives to intercede for me because of the gift of Righteousness He gave to me (see 1 Jn. 2).

Hmmmm . . . weighing what Scripture says against what you say . . .

Yeah, I'm going with Scripture:

16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them.
(from 2 Cor. 5)​

Jesus showed you and told you how to save yourself.

Now you just have to go and do it.

You do not know Jesus at all. Jesus told us we can;t save ourself. which is why he came, so he can save us.

I thought you said earlier jesus saved you. Now your telling someone to go save themselves. Thats double talk!

And tell Him I sent you.

Actually it does.

Right here...

Mark 8:35
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it;
but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's,
the same shall save it.

Luke 9:24
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it:
but whosoever will lose his life for my sake,
the same shall save it.
Click to expand...

Yep. And how do we lose our life?

By believing on the name of th eonly begotten son. He who believes is not condemned (saved) who who does not believe (saves life) shall not see life but the wrath of God abides in him.

I will trust the apostle John, and not you. ok??

The revealed written Word of God, I said. How much clearer need I be for you to understand?

Faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Your the one who needs to talk to God.

See how you are? I caught you in a contradiction, and you can not even stand it, You try to hide behind God.

Good luck whit that You have been exposed as the fraud you are.
 
LexKnight said:
Why Yes... I hide in God.

That is where I live.
Click to expand...

Nah, You hide in yourself.. How good you are. The law condemns you and you can not even see it, You hold yourself equal to god.

Even Jesus said there is no one good but god. But you call him a liar..

So we will pray for you.. if that is ok..


Even if it is not ok, We will still pray for you.
