Jesus is the everlasting Father, Jesus is God, Jesus is the Lord.

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"Sin is not what you do, it is what you are."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul and mind. An abomination."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall
where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

"If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."

"You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's
willingness to believe."

"Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,
and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."

"The last day of creation will be the last day of time."

I don't ever recall referring to myself as 'righteous'. The Bible says

Give me your evidence that makes you call me "wicked". Maybe I need to

Yes, God wants us to follow his written righteous word. You find that
offensive? Notice 1 Peter 4:18,

- Revised Standard
1 Peter 4:18 And "If the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will
the impious and sinner appear?"

So God's word tells us to strive to be righteous. There is nothing
wrong with that.

Right on target.

James is trashing it, and trying to raise himself up in his own glory.

And therein is the disgrace of all the man made Christian religions.

Nonsense. Seeking righteousness does not lessen the value of Jesus'
ransom. It actually supports it and makes it precious.

The point can be made that you're diminishing the value of Christ's
sacrifice.
Nonsense. Seeking righteousness does not lessen the value of Jesus'
ransom. It actually supports it and makes it precious.
You are seeking your own righteousness; that is the problem, Buddy.

And...the righteousness of Christ doesn't need your help.

Revised Standard 1 Peter 4:18 And "If the righteous man is scarcely saved,
where will the impious and sinner appear?"
So God's word tells us to strive to be righteous. There is nothing wrong with
that.
Verse 18

The word "scarcely" is the translation of a Greek word that means literally
"with difficulty." The word is used in Act 14:18 where Paul experienced
difficulty in restraining the people at Lystra from sacrificing to him as a
god. The context in First Peter speaks of the persecutions which were allowed
to come by God as a disciplinary judgment, the purpose of which was to purify
their lives. They were being saved with difficulty in the sense that if it
was necessary for God to purify the lives of saints by these drastic means,
namely, persecution and suffering, what can one say as to the position of the
unsaved in relation to God? If the righteous need disciplinary judgments, how
much more will the unrighteous merit the wrath of God whose offer of
righteousness they have rejected.

1Pe 4:19

19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the
keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Verse 19

The Greek word "commit" is a banking term meaning "to give in charge as a
deposit." Peter exhorts believers who are undergoing persecutions, that in
view of the fact that these are allowed to come by God and are designed to
purify their lives, they have every reason to trust Him to take care of them
through all of their sufferings.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul and mind. An abomination. Therefore,
sin is not what you do, it is what you are."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall
where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

"If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."

"You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's
willingness to believe."

"Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,
and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."

"The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always
full of hope."

"The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not to have a book pass
through it so that you could play God."

(Isaiah 60:21) And all your people will be righteous; They will possess

You are still seeking to justify yourself as a sinner, and striving to
make yourself righteous.
And although I fail at times, I still am proud to be a slave to God
and Jesus. Yes, I strive for righteousness, as should we all. You make
it sound like it is wrong to try to be good. Let's see what
righteousness really is:

"noun
noun: righteousness

the quality of being morally right or justifiable.
"we had little doubt about the righteousness of our cause"
h
Similar:
goodness

virtue
virtuousness
uprightness
decency
integrity"

It is NOT wrong to strive after such things. Since we are made in
God's image, we can and should try to be that way.

I don't have to report to you, but to Almighty God. And yes, I sin all
the time. But we have a forgiving God who we worship. My God does not
fry living beings in fire for punishment. That is detestable, and is
against all descent people. My God doesn't have 3 faces constitutuing
a personality disorder. My God will not destroy the earth, one of His
prized possessions. So if you do not want to be righteous, that is
your choice. Just leave me out of it.

I constantly need to study the WHOLE Bible, since it is God's word:

(2 Timothy 3:16) All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for
teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining
in righteousness,

You would do well if you follow that Scripture instead of judging
others. Judge yourself!

I justify myself before God. I suggest you do the same.
I told him I don't recollect what was meant by that statement.
If it is isn't already clear enough, it is made all the clearer by your

You are wicked!!! Sheesh!!!
On your way, get going to and fro on the earth seeking to make yourself
righteous, sinner.
I don't ever recall referring to myself as 'righteous'. The Bible says
all men sin, so, no man is righteous compared to God or Jesus.
Give me your evidence that makes you call me "wicked". Maybe I need to
make a change if your evidence is Bible-based.
You have all the evidence you need in the original post...

Yes, God wants us to follow his written righteous word. You find that
offensive? Notice 1 Peter 4:18,
- Revised Standard
1 Peter 4:18 And "If the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will
the impious and sinner appear?"
So God's word tells us to strive to be righteous. There is nothing
wrong with that.

You are still seeking to justify yourself as a sinner, and striving to
make yourself righteous.
And although I fail at times, I still am proud to be a slave to God
A slave is a slave, not a part-time self-is-master.

and Jesus. Yes, I strive for righteousness, as should we all. You make
it sound like it is wrong to try to be good.
It is because, "You seek to justify yourself and strive to make yourself
righteous." An abomination.

Let's see what
You don't know.

It has been too many times.

Go your own way, JW James, and I'll see you on that day.

It is NOT wrong to strive after such things. Since we are made in

You haven't got a hope in hell. Try swimming the Pacific in one day
while climbing Mt Everest at the same time.
I don't have to report to you, but to Almighty God. And yes, I sin all
the time. But we have a forgiving God who we worship. My God does not
fry living beings in fire for punishment. That is detestable, and is
against all descent people. My God doesn't have 3 faces constitutuing
a personality disorder. My God will not destroy the earth, one of His
prized possessions. So if you do not want to be righteous, that is
your choice. Just leave me out of it.
Post by Michael McLean
And the fact that you try makes you, all the more, an abomination! That
is what happens when you worship "your" Bible and not the true God.
Worshipping a book is not only stupid, but angers my God, Jehovah.
Where do you get such nonsense? If you get it from some source, I
suggest you are being led astray. That is one of Satan's tricks.

You need to go study Uzzah in your Bible, then come back and pray.
(2 Timothy 3:16) All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for
teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining
in righteousness,
You would do well if you follow that Scripture instead of judging
others. Judge yourself!

Jesus is the everlasting Father, Jesus is God, Jesus is the Lord.

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul and mind. An abomination. Therefore,
sin is not what you do, it is what you are."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall
where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

"If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."

"You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's
willingness to believe."

"Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,
and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."

"The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always
full of hope."

"The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not to have a book pass
through it so that you could play God."

"Total depravity is not based on good and evil, it is based on whether or
not you love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and God in His
grace and mercy gives a man a chance for Him, the Lord, to turn that around.

It is that simple."

What happens if you don't "strive to be good?"

No, you use the distorted JW version of the Bible, basically written by
Fred Franz, the man responsible for the claim that Armageddon was due in
1975.
Armageddon, so-called, happened in the years 66-70 anno domini.

The old heaven and earth of the temple passed away, and the new,
established on the new covenant, was firmly established in its place.

66-70 anno domini ushered in the age of fire and brimstone, in which
those outside the covenant are burned by fire, and the devil and his
angels were cast for an age of ages.

Mankind is now almost 2000 years into this age of ages. The idea of
Armageddon being a future event is from a misunderstanding of the
scripture, and the pride of man seeking to justify his religion.

Jesus said, "Every man will be salted by fire." There's the good fire
and the painful fire.
