Believe what you like. That does not make you right. Feel free to ignore the rest of God's word that proves you wrong. I'm done with this discussion. It's like talking to a flat earther.
I believe what John calvin taught Screenshot_20240420-002515.png

Yes, I have no righteousness of my own ever, not of mine ever.
I do have righteousness though! It is not mine, it is God's given me to share in Love to all, yes even those that hate me, that use me that can care less about me or anyone else unless they gain something else from someone else those will not love anyone but whoever gives them stuff.
Again God's righteous is given and not to be abused and used for any self gain.
I do not follow John Calvin or any other flesh person, (not that he is of flesh) yet is as I m also that reckons it dead daily, in order to see the new life given me to stand in thanks
There are many great sayings by others of the human origin that claim salvation and claim to be saved by God, and I love that, yet I see the wrestle tricks of evil also. seeing to put no Faith in anyone even me, Phil 3

It's not a case of following Jean the make believe person by many here.

It about believing his true knowledge from God

His rightouseness still exists in fallen man


All tho God says there is not one man who does Good,.that doesn't mean there is not one man who is capable of doing Good 😊

Elders are a blessing, and Calvin lead many catholics to be reformed, the trouble was tho they never all listened.

Born with the knowledge of good and evil everyone is first born in as knowing, there is no excuse ever for anyone to say, they did not know. All know and all choose to do right or wrong, whether or not justify it or not, each knows personally, when they have done wrong
That is why God says to some, many or even a few, I never knew you, you who work in iniquity
Yet there are those that glory in their iniquity, there is a gigantic difference

For those glorying in their iniquity see God's grace as sufficient for them to not do wrong by faith trust to God through Son's done work for them to walk new in automatically in it. Worry gone, fear gone, trust remains as one stands willing to learn from any and all mistakes ever made. One then learns new in humility of Thanksgiving and praise seeing all sin gone as far as the east is from the west
Being given the new heart to abide in. To stay out of the whirlwinds of life here on earth

Cant disagree with this, but I'm allowed to ask for understanding from God for each verse 😊

As Father gives liberally, yes agreed ask and know why one asks. For is if be for self gain, God will not answer
Not talking about you or anyone else either


James 4:3
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

My conclusion is he. only gives when he knows you have stopped reaping.

He knows what you need before you ask, so when you call on the lord he looks back at your life,..and he gives knowledge accordingly to your reaping and sowing

God uses his knowledge of sowing and reaping to bestow his blessing. His blessing is for the whole world.

So that you may be children of God

For he makes the sun to rise on the evil and on the good,.and he sends rain on the just and the unjust 😊
