If “No one on earth knows which is right or wrong “, then neither do you, and you have no business correcting me.

I'm not correcting anybody.
I'm just sharing the Truth.
By sharing the Truth, you found it I'm correcting you. That is your perception only because I'm not convincing you or to believe it.
It is your own decision to accept or abandoned it.

My sharing is not necessarily for you alone. But for all the readers in this Thread.

You have the freewill to judge that my interpretation is wrong. Because God the Father gave man a freewill to decide for himself.

How sure are you that your judgement is correct?
But if your judgment is wrong, you are liable with what Our Lord said.
MATTHEW 7:1-2
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

But you aren't just sharing Scripture; you're adding your incorrect interpretations, which means you are sharing error.

Right and wrong are objective. I am sure my judgment is correct because it is based on Scripture and logic.

When it comes in the word of God, if you admit that you know what is right and wrong, then you are leaning with your own understanding.
It is only God who knows what is Right and Wrong.

With that, God the Father gave us a warning.
Proverbs 3:5
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

When it comes to the word of God.
It is God the Father who can tell if the sharing is incorrect interpretation.

If my sharing is incorrect, God will make a way to correct it.

I don't think so:

MATTHEW 24:23-26
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

Correction is important.

But God the Father is the One correcting the People and not Man.
When it comes to Salvation, Man doesn't know which is right & wrong.
ROMANS 3:10
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

If we let man to correct us, we will be cursed by God the Father.
Accepting man's correction means trusting man.
JEREMIAH 17:5
5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.

It is only God who know what is right and wrong.
And only God has the foreknowledge. So with his foreknowledge he knows when and where the best time & place to rebuke (correct) the people.
DEUTORONY 32:29
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

MATTHEW 25:33-40
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

You can’t be saved even if you follow them wholeheartedly.

The basis of eternal salvation is knowing you are a sinner and believing on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.

Believing He is God, lived sinless, died and rose again. That by believing, you have eternal life, forgiveness of sin.

Romans 5:8, 10

You can’t be saved by believing those written words, you need the Living Christ Jesus to be saved. He is the one who’ll save you when you come to Him.

Then what are the good works with faith in the eyes of God?
Who is the good teacher to teach us on this?

Jesus alone is the Pastor and Teacher in His flock across all generations. He is the one who will teach us when we come to and call on Him in the reality of His existence and living.
 
Godsgood said:
This kind of statement could give everyone good feeling.
Unfortunately, what we are searching is not how do we get good feeling but the Truth.
And the Truth is we must be perfect in the eyes of God so he can save us.

MATTHEW 5:48
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Click to expand...
If you’re perfect in the eyes of God, you need not be saved anymore because you’re perfect. But to be perfect, you have to come first to Jesus, and then follow Him until the end.

Yes but Jesus clarified that good works following saving faith are His will.

Paul is not the Savior and his grace of salvation is not aligned to Jesus’ way of salvation. The only way to attain eternal life is by coming to and following the Lord Jesus Christ until the end.

  1. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
  2. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

  1. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
  2. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

  1. If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

  1. You study the Scriptures diligently, thinking you have eternal life in them, but 'these are the very Scriptures that testify about me,

  1. yet you refuse to come to me to have life
 
Godsgood said:
Why the grace of Our Lord Jesus was being applied to the sheep only and not to the Goats?
What the sheep did in the eyes of Our Lord and they inherit the Kingdom of God?

Salvation is for all and the grace of salvation, as preachers today preach, is not true and not in agreement with Jesus’ way of salvation. The only way to attain eternal life is by coming to and following the Lord Jesus Christ until the end.

  1. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
  2. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

  1. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
  2. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

  1. If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

  1. You study the Scriptures diligently, thinking you have eternal life in them, but 'these are the very Scriptures that testify about me,

The law, even Jesus gave them to mankind, saves you not, but Jesus does it you come to Him and follow Him until the end.
 
Gideon300 said:
That is not the basis for salvation. You omitted the key verse to understanding the passage. Jesus was referring to the nations and the way they treat God's people. People are not made righteous because they behave righteously. They behave righteously because they are in Christ.

Try reading the rest of the NT to find out what true salvation is. We are saved by grace, not by works.
Click to expand...
You’ll only be saved by coming to and following Jesus until the end, otherwise, what you believe and put into practice are all useless.
 
Ouch said:
Sorry that is not the basis of salbation, some people think just because people are good to one and the other that they are Heaven bound.

Those scriptures are good to live by, but DOES NOT get you to Heaven.

NT how to get reborn?

Acts 2:38-39

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

After we are reborn we can be judged by our fruits and those scriptures are a good gauge.

No one gets born anew by believing what is read and write understood in the Bible but by coming to and following Jesus only.
