Mga Taga-Roma: 13. 3. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

Job: 34. 16. If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
17. Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
18. Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
19. How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
20. In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
21. For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
22. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

Luke 18:11-12
[SUP]11 [/SUP]The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Matthew 7:21-23
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
[SUP]23 [/SUP]And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
It looks like there is a connection here. The connection being that certain people think their own work is what makes them right before God. Their understanding and their strength.
Aren't these all good works that are listed? Yes, they are. So why don't good works make people good? It doesn't seem fair, does it?
What is the solution?
2 Corinthians 3:14-16
[SUP]14 [/SUP]But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
The pharisees and most everyone else still had the vail over their hearts and minds. The vail that made them think their own works caused them to be good before God.

just to be clear -- post himself is a nutter for sure
((freely admits & confesses))
I prefer the term peculiar but I suppose nutter fits just as well.
1 Peter 2:9-10
[SUP]9 [/SUP]But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

because his really a good man
The very Epistle I am currently studying........for many days now......I believe that the Epistles of Peter are highly underrated, or overlooked, when it comes to revealing the Gospel of Christ to the Church. I am gaining so much respect for his Epistles, and insight into the Gospel, and receiving so much inner peace from my study.

by the way Peter, you're a smart man in my opinion, & i do love and respect you - but i often find myself thinking you're a nutter lol -- so i've got a bit of joy seeing a post from you i can legitimately "like" without any second thought
Thankyou. I am humbled by your praise. If I can remain a simple child lost in wonder,
everything is good. In the world everything get devalued into gain, or putting things
to ones own ends, rather than just joy and praise to the Lord.
