A Righteous Christian Is Better Than A Righteous Atheist/pagan by Nobody: 2:06pm On Dec 28, 2018
This is a follow up to the thread I opened concerning a righteous atheist/pagan being better than a wicked Christian.

And the assertion of that first thread still stands perfectly correct because while the righteous atheist/pagan has something in the respect of righteousness, the wicked Christian has nothing, hence is no different from the wicked atheist/pagan, as their worship or belief in God is equal to vanity, because of the lack of righteousness to validate it.(Mt 7:22-23, 15:8-9)

But that is when a righteous atheist/ pagan is being compared to a wicked Christian, for when it is instead a righteous christian, it becomes a very different matter, as the righteous Christian doesn't only have the righteousness, which a righteous atheist/pagan has, but also that which he doesn't have which is God.

Therefore it's the God factor that is that extra something which gives the righteous christian the edge over the righteous atheist/pagan.

Therefore any righteous atheist or pagan that doesn't want for a righteous christian to be above him or her, should add God to his righteousness to crown it, and make it even better.

Because although it's possible for an atheist/pagan to be righteous without believing in God, it is only when that righteousness is added to belief in God, that it can be made perfect.

For God is the perfection of man's righteousness.

That righteousness on the basis of Jesus is the fabrication of man, that why it has led to the spread of wickedness in the church and the nation at large.

It doesn't exist!

Not true.

" Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:"
(Romans 3: 22).

There is no righteousness without the faith in Jesus.

If there is, then a man's righteous way of living should take him to heaven without salvation.

You really need to be careful sir.

righteousness

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

The Concept of Right/Wrong(Possibility of Absolute Morality)is ludicrous. The matter of should/shouldn't as regards human behaviors/actions shouldn't be overly debated except for cases where practical wisdom is absent.'Good and Bad' are just words(My philosophy).

Don't worry about me because I'm in a perfect place.

Worry about yourself and all of your kind who have been deceived to think that righteousness is an imaginary thing.

That sort of righteousness doesn't exist, that's why Jesus told all those many christians that work iniquity to depart from Him that He never knew them.

Hope you would not be part those many wicked Christians that He'll say that to who think that righteousness is an imaginary thing that comes with just believing in Jesus.

I'm not here to be a part of such delusion but to trash them, so you should be more concerned about your likes who are on that wrong course of orientation.

I am in a very perfect place.

You would think the same of Jesus if He were here because you guys are not following Him but man-made fabrications.

Let it be twisted in your sight and the whole of the church but let it be true in the sight of God is all that matters to me.

Righteousness is on the basis of Jesus and yet all those many people that Jesus talked of the church that would come before Him on the last day would be yet called workers of iniquity.

Don't learn the truth but keep following the widely accepted deceit that would eventually end up in such.

Twisted church!

Wish you the same for your spreading of lies and man-made doctrines in the name of the Word of God, that righteousness is not extremely important for man to be able to gain eternal life.

Without righteousness no man would smell heaven at least Jesus say so to the workers of iniquity in the church.

No wonder where the misconception comes from, you are disciple of Paul.

Don't worry don't make your belief in Jesus to be backed up by righteousness, so that when you appear before Jesus, you would tell Him that Paul told you that all you needed was righteousness on the basis of Jesus.

And let me see if it's Paul teachings as such that would make Jesus allow you in.

Paul is already in heaven if you don't know, so make his such mistakes while he was here on Earth to take you to hell.

At least you've now learnt that the popular doctrine in the church that taught you to always call Holy Ghost fire to destroy your enemies did not come from Jesus but from men.

So you can also figure where in hell this doctrine of righteousness based on having faith in Jesus truly came from, so that when you appear before Jesus at the end, you will yet be in peace and not in pieces.

Because you didn't just have such faith in Him, but also righteousness to back up that such faith.

To an atheist that is a meaningless adjective because it primarily has to do with an equally meaningless absolute standard and ritual purity supposedly prescribed by an imaginary being. I rather concern myself with how I treat the human beings I can see.
