No it's not what i meant, i am just saying it is far better to admit we are bad (humility) then to teach how great and marvelous we can be (exaltation)

I don't care how many time you fast, pray, or even reading the Word of God and attending church twice a week IF you DON'T admit that you are actually a sinner you will be humbled.

Luke 10:14
I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

I admit that I am the righteousness of God in Christ. To humble one self is to set aside self and put on the Christ for yourself.

You exalt sin in yourself and try to sound holy as a sinner. Your effort may sound noble and holy to the fellow flesh man but is foolishness to the one who comes and takes that sin from you. In this flesh is no good thing and sin, but we in Christ are not of this flesh and in Christ is righteousness in the Holy Ghost.

The difference in you and I is sin, you exalt sin I exalt the one who is without sin. But I do agree with you that you are a sinner, I’m not disputing that at all, you have made that clear just as I have made clear that in Christ one cannot sin. What I am disputing is that Christ can’t take that sin from you and that sin takes presence over the one who came to take it away.

I suppose one would have to know what it is to be His righteous to know what it is to be without sin.
