Tell me which one of these men will go to hell and which one will have eternal life: 1) A man believes in Christ and is baptized by the Holy Spirit and brings upon him the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Then the rest of his life he sins at will and in fact, finally rejects Jesus Christ as his...

I believe that is a good position to take. Thank you.

There can be self righteousness in anything, even in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, if someone is so proud that they were chosen to be saved by grace.

You are right of course, but there were thousands that did stay clean towards the Lord: 1 Kings 19:18 King James Version (KJV) 18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. Read all of 19 for context...

Yes that is true, but would this fully GOD and fully man lead a man unto destruction because the man did not realize at that moment that you were fully GOD and fully man? OR, would this fully God, and fully man have compassion and mercy on this man for even asking, and teach him the truth...

So because he was looking at Jesus as a man, Jesus put him on the path to destruction. Jesus told him to do something that he could never do and would find himself short of the glory of God. Do you think Jesus had that kind of mentality that he would tell the man the wrong path to eternal life?

So did Jesus tell the young ruler what he really needed to be saved, or did Jesus lead him onto a path that would not save him?

He has to disregard the teachings of Jesus because they conflict so seriously with Paul. How do we reconcile the 2?
