Is Anyone Here Born In The Righteousness Of God? [Spirituality & Religion]

I sure wasn't.

Ephesians 2:1-10

1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the [a]course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

I seriously doubt that.

@Vgore0304 Anyone with love and humanity in their heart is greater than God

That's the dumbest thing you've said yet. We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19
JBird · F
@GodSpeed63 that's dumb to you because your brain doesn't process on average capacity. And your God doesn't exist, so I don't give a damn. In the Bible, God treats us like slaves. That's not love. That's narcissism

You keep saying it but you've never proved it. Until you do, my Redeemer lives.

That's your interpretation of His Word, not His.

I proved it million times. You're just ignoring it because I was right. I have never prayed to God or went to a church, still I am happy and alive which means your God have no control over me or he doesn't exist.

He provided it, not me. You just can't bring yourself to take Him at His Word.

@GodSpeed63 You can tell me his interpretations then. What's so difficult in that?

You not taking Yahweh at His Word is what's difficult.
JBird · F
@GodSpeed63 But you do. Therefore you can tell. Also Yahweh doesn't exist.

@JBird [quote]But you do.[/quote]

So? You don't take me at my word either.
JBird · F
@GodSpeed63 I do. You said you know the true interpretation. I agree that which is why I asked you to give that.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@JBird [quote]I do.[/quote]

Your posts say otherwise. When it comes to interpreting God's Word, it's between you and Him on a personal basis. If you want the true interpretation of God's Word, then become born again in the Spirit. Let Jesus Christ enter your heart and keep Him there.
JBird · F
@GodSpeed63 I keep posting that because till now nobody, including you, have succeeded to provide a justification for all the abnormal statements in the Bible.

I am not a bloody sheep to follow the wolf under false promises. If God or anybody can't provide the true interpretation on my own free will, then it's false. Anybody can believe anything if they give their free will.

@JBird That is satans lie you bought hook line and sinker
God never forced you to do anything
and if you chose not to believe in Him but do no harm
You will only be as if you never were ,,you didn't want God or His kingdom
then He will grant you're wish ,,you don't have to be there
but if you believe the prince of this world and help him accuse and blame God because he fell ,,then you get punished for you're sin and you're sin alone
Christ came to remove the sin put on us all by Adam ,Christ paid the full price of the Law of Moses ,a covenant God made only with Israel
Since the Crucifixion of Christ (actually they were allowed 3 1/2 more years to repent ) the gospel then went to the Gentile as well
and now we all have access to the throne through Christ
Christ ministered to all from the foundation to the cross
and all who accepted Him ,He took back with Him
So all from the cross on have a clean slate
You are not held accountable for the sins of our fathers who rebelled against God ,we are only accountable for our own
So refuse him all you want ,that is you're Right ,He forces NO ONE
But if you lie against Him ,cause others to stumble
then it will be better for those in Sodom and Gomorrah then for you
You will meet God ,confess He is Lord ,,before He grants you're wish and makes you as if you were never born
Thats not a tyrant ,thats a loving God
He will not force Himself on you
Stop bashing Him or block me ,,I am not trying to force Him on you either
But He is My Father ,I will defend my family at any cost
On earth or in heaven

@rckt148 I believe if God doesn't exists, so doesnt Satan. Only evil and good are the ones created by humans themselves. No God or Satan is responsible for it. Yes, in the Bible, several times it's mentioned that God destroy people who don't surrender to him. That doesn't sound like a loving God to me and it's more like forcing people to worship him. I know that Christians are scared into the religion but telling them they won't make it to heaven after death if they are not Christians. Many people who don't worship God live as normally as those who does. Having religion doesn't make any advantages as I see. I left Christianity and I find that I am more peaceful than the times I get scared if I had done something that angers God like forgetting to pray.

@JBird if you were to study precept upon precept
know who he was speaking and why ,you would see God has never destroyed anyone He didn't warn
Israel 390 yrs to repent before He allowed them to be slaves
They had the prophets ,they refused to listen ,and even as slaves
the ones that obeyed God were exalted to positions as kings
A king that made a golden statue of himself and God made eat grass like an animal for 7 yrs added to the book of Daniel ,that by the way predicted things that didn't even happen until 1949 ,and a book I have that shows the prediction was a reprint of a book written in 1800's ,reprinted in 1921
and the Catholic church had no authority in England or Canada
but the event took place just as predicted right to the very year .
So you can't say they wrote the book to support an event
one that was actually given by Daniel 500 yrs before the birth of Christ that also told of the birth ,baptism of Christ ,his death ,the sacrifice ending and the gospel going to the Gentiles ,,pretty accurate for a man made book
But you also said God allowed incest ,and it was Christians that did it when there was no such thing at the time ,and God has cursed or punished anyone that was proven to be having incest in biblical stories ,they are shared as a warning ,,don't do this ,or this is what might happen to you ,,
If you are not going to take the time to actually know what you're talking about ,,maybe you should not be so quick to judge us who do
I have never been unkind to you ,,I just tell you when you're facts are wrong
I have good reason to believe as I have shared
but God has not told me to make you believe ,,He has just told me to share what I have seen ,and what I know of Him ,,and thats what I do
I am sorry if that offends you ,,that is never my intent
but you are the one who keeps knocking my healer and my Savior
and you're facts are passed on lies at best ,,you should get to know someone before you hate them so bad
You know of the Bible , its clear you have only read enough to determine if God is real ,He is bad ,,you should try reading it all
I only have a 9th grade education and it didn't take me very long
and then I twisted it for years too ,,until God said I had misrepresented Him long enough ,,and He took everything from me
So I wasn't to busy to study ,,and see it was satan that blinded me
and he is very real ,,,why would you hate the things of God so bad ?
thats just a war good and evil that makes you think you are exposing God as a tyrant or not real ..you will loose this one
men have been trying to suppress the Gospel for thousands of years
but the more of us they kill ,,the louder the message gets
Have a good one ,,I mean you no disrespect or harm
Just when someone is bashing my Father ,,you always seem to be in the crowd
