Now your a slanderous liar,
Your a hypocrit dude plain and simple, you judge people falsely and conti ue to puff yourself up. You love to puff yourself up as one who obeyes god while hardly ever sinn8ng, while bering false witness against another.
You just exposed yourself. Because the person you judged teaches that we live by the spirit and seeking after him, and the law of love

Do you understand what the biblical term “will not inherit the kingdom of God” means?
- Those who do not inherit the kingdom of God will perish in the fires of hell.
Do you understand this?
- that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God
Please read what the scripture says.
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:16-21
Christians who practice the works of the flesh will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Does anyone understand that born again Christians who have the Holy Spirit, are supposed to live their life according to the Holy Spirit?
Christian’s who have a born again new nature empowered by the Spirit are not to live their lives according to the sinful desires of the flesh.
If they do, they will not inherit the kingdom of God.

I told my Sister when I moved back to Nebraska, I get to gripe every Winter here.
This morning went I got of up it was -9 degrees F. I open the door and my little dachshund with out, and came RIGHT BACK IN. I made her go back out to go potty, but she was very quick about it, and then came running back in.
I scoop a trail like this to give Sarah a running trail, but this winter the snow is so deep, I cannot see even her back at the far end. That pic was from last year.

You're very judgemental.
Mathew 7:2
2“For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you."
1 John 3:10-11
10By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
11For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

This has been brought up over and over, but it seems that these verses bring so much harmony to the scriptures and this unending debate.
"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" And He said to him, " ' you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart , and with all your soul , and with all your mind .' The second is like it, ' you shall love your neighbor as yourself .' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."
Matthew 22:36-37

I will answer one of your questions: the meaning let your eye be single and your whole body will be full of light and not to have a right hand. But for the right hand its to late to have a righteousness of my own, I'm afraid I don't have any lol, We can consider that done. I have struggled much with pride of achievement and have given up accomplishments. Now to let my eye be single, a week ago after waking up, ended beginning to fantasise about the wife I'm engaged with and heard: In My House. I stopped and turned to the Lord and stumbled again a couple days later, so still working out the cutting out, to put away a divided spirit. Now you know that I'm not perfect and needed a wife, if you read the rest of what I wrote I did not claim to be, "Neither do I consider to have attained but this one thing, forgetting what's behind I press on. I should also mention that until we are perfect we take His name in vain. "Its no longer I that lives but Christ' I am is the simplest of God's name given to all of us and He told us to go in His name. We have been given His name to have identity in Him. You know the good thing about admitting the truth, as we live for the praise of God, it paralyses the enemy and we live in the peace of God. Pride of achievement was the biggest struggle I had, it's been broken. Let your "eye be single," being free from coveting and idolatry, appeared to be the biggest struggle and in putting away our divided spirit, part of our identity is cut off, but it was not real to begin with, a false comfort that turned us away from the Lord that needed to be cut of to have a crown of Life. I did give a wedding dowry to my wife who is a poor woman with 2 children, and she chose to put a down payment on a house in the Philippines, and now we are saving money for her to come to Canada and then retire in the Philippines after I am 65 February 28 next year. noting else comes to mind and I need to get ready for work.
Yeah I get that.....and one who states they don't sin while hypocritically judging those around them and devaluing Christ, his work, his promises and salvation is not of God....it is not unbiblical to judge one's doctrine and or way of life by the word of God contrary to modern opinion tainted by churchology........
As long as people teach a salvation that can be lost and or that must be kept, maintained, finished, embellished or topped off with works this debate will rage.......even though the bible is CLEAR on all the issues addressed in this post...........I.E. Eternal salvation, how gained, and what has nothing to do with how it is gained and or kept....

1 Corinthians 13:4-5
4Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
It is not unbiblical to judge another's doctrine.
But let's do it with love for each brother in Christ.
1 John 4:8
8The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

1 John 2:3 - By this we know that we have come to know Him, (already know Him/already saved) if we “keep” (Greek word “tereo” - guard, observe, watch over) His commandments. *Descriptive of believers.
4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep (guard, observe, watch over) His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. *Descriptive of unbelievers.
