Righteousness as defined by God is God's righteousness. Anything else is a personal form of righteousness. a standard that one develops adopts for one's self. (meaning apart from God's standard.) Christ in dealing with the pharisees Made this distinction, in that it is a 'self righteousness' that they used to live by, and not the righteousness of God.
Again, that is why I said you all are not in a position to judge God. In that all forms of judgement come from a personal sense of right and wrong and not any type of absolute or real standard. Just a sense of righteousness. Again as Jesus defines it a "Self Righteousness." That means ALL "Morality" is a form of self righteousness, because All Morality adopts certain sin and judges them acceptable.
Quote:Has it ever occurred to you that calling those things "self righteous" in the retarded way that you do won't really bother anyone, change their minds, bring them to god...or your god?as witnessed by your own post's "my calling people's righteousness 'self righteousness' does indeed do what it is supposed to do. To undermine your system of value, and has you question (to defend) your system of righteousness/morality. In otherwords even if just for a moment, what I am doing is making you question or at least look at a foundation you would otherwise never question. For those who think a little deeper what i am doing will allow you to see how my sense of right and wrong can indeed differ from your own.
Quote: Has it ever occurred to you that you're your own worst enemy, as a liar for christ, and that the cause of christ would be better served by you simply choosing to keep your trap shut about him?A liar really? what have I lied about? Or are you saying because what I am saying about Biblical Christianity is so vastly different than anything you have ever heard of it must be a lie?
What if... All that I am saying is 1000% true? Could you possibly see why then if you sought God with all your current understanding why he could not support you? Why your "house" fell when tested by the winds and rain?
Quote: Has it ever occurred to you, that you might be the reason that the catholic church didn't want dipshits reading the bible?You are 100% correct. I am the very embodiment of the reason why the RCC burned people at the stake (and their whole families) who attempted to read or translate the bible into anything other than Latin, that first had not fully accepted the church's indoctrination.
Because what I have done is shown you all a God completely accessible, and one who wants to be an active part of your life if and only if you meet Him on His terms.
Quote:Is your purpose here to absolutely -ensure- that the people you talk to never come to christ..My purpose is to portray a bionically accurate view of God with out apology or compromise no matter what. To answer all questions and challenges, first and foremost truthfully, and accurately as presented by scripture, and to the best of my ability, so help me God. I leave nothing to chance or speculation unless otherwise noted. I speak with sure footed authority because of what God has re-enforced and shown me throughout my life. I know what I bring you guys is accurate enough to receive the grace and support of God because I myself directly receive this grace and support. I simply want to share it if any of you truly want all the 'proof' you claim you want.
Quote:for no reason other than your own statements regarding god? That's the feedback you're getting from -every- corner.From your POV I sure that is an accurate statement.
However my POV via the emails, and PM's I have received along with the ever changing dialog and questions shows that attitudes have indeed changed. While no one is going to change over night I have planeted a few seeds and they are indeed taking root.
Quote:A smart man, a man looking to advocate for salvation in christ over his own ego, would take a better course or leave the work to a more competent and persuasive individual. Are you either kind of man...or are you something else?
Here's the thing sport. I'm not trying to sell you all anything. All I offer is the truth. This truth requires a huge amount of humility to swallow, so much so that it demands that you treat me with the same respect that you would like me to inturn treat you with. I know this because I make a tremendous effort to mirror the tone and timber of each conversation to the individual I am speaking from post to post.
If you read other posts you can see a wide margin in how I may respond to the one asking questions. This is because again 1 I am not trying to sell Christianity. I am simply offering truth. The first truth being one has to show a measure of humility. Once we can establish humility we then turn to your failed attempt at connecting with God/Why most of you are an atheists, and if your humility holds out I will try and show you what the bible says Christianity is sup[posed to be verse what you think it should be.
For instance you think I should have a meek even Jehovah's witness' approach and I should present my arguments in neat easily dismissable little statements. You want and need me to be a salesman because you know how to deal with sales men. You know the lines they won't cross and you know the limits of the ammo they bring. Fortunately for me, Jesus did not teach or try and sell 'Christianity.' He directly confronted and publicly shamed those who opposed Him and His message. That is what got Him killed. He clowned people like you (but in authority) So badly and threatened their hold on the people so much they authority of that day had to silence Him.
He showed the people that the 'poo pooers' of his day were so out of touch and 'self righteous/moral' that they no longer could even recognize the authority of God any more.
So bottom line. Because I am not selling Biblical Christianity to anyone I do not have to play by your rules, or the rules of any church. the bible here is my guide Christ's own teaching style is my outline. I have the freedom given to me by Biblical Christianity to meet you all on your terms (so to speak/I can play rough and break what you hold sacred, if that is all you understand) However I do so mindfully and I seek to do so constructively. I look to demolish inorder to rebuild, not to destroy for the sake of rageful destruction.
If you want me to approach you differently, then simply approach me differently.
