Let here what Allah said in Quran verses 1, don't do adultery 2, don't lie 3, don't cheat orphan 4, respect your parent 5, don't cheat in business 6, don't collect bribe 7, give poor people money 8, don't devide your blood relations 9, don't serve idol 10, don't drink alcohol 11, don't kill innocent soul 12, always humble yourself 13, say kind words to people around you 14, judg with truth. Etc But remember you can never be a righteous in the eyes of human beings because what human being good at is to condemn each other, but if you can keep all this you re righteous in the eyes of Allah, |

IneedOT:The reason for their stance is because nobody comes to threads like this to hurl insults on Jesus. As for muslims, none dare do that - it would amount to blasphemy in islam to even utter one word derogatory of jesus. But the reverse is the case with threads on islam. The misquided and plain mischief makers will flood such threads using uncouth language. Surely, the mods are right stopping rascals and satanic elements in their tracks to preserve the image and integrity of nl. |

tobechi20: We can't earn righteousness by doing good things. Righteousness is a gift from God. All our self-righteousness is as filthy rags to God. Isaiah 64:6 [6]But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. The only righteousness that counts before the eyes of God is the righteousness of faith, that is, the His Righteousness which He gives to all who believe in Him. Romans 4:1-5 [1]What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? [2]For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. [3]For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. [4]Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. [5]But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. God counts the person that believes in Him as being righteous. Philippians 3:8-9 [8]Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, [9]And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: Righteousness can only come from God by faith. Righteousness is simply being in right-standing with God. That is, God isn't holding anything against you, He isn't counting your sins against you, He doesn't consider you to be a sinner, You are blameless before Him, you are justified. As far as God is concerned, you have never sinned. The person that believes in Jesus as the lamb of God who took away the sins of the world is granted access to God's Grace which grants Him salvation. At the point of salvation, such a person is born-again, justified, reconciled to God, at peace with God, and declared righteous by God. Bottom line: No one can be righteous of themselves, for all have sinned and fall short of God's glory. Only God can declare a person righteous, and He does this ignoring the person's works and considering his faith alone. By believing in Him, a person is righteous, not by doing good things. 3 Likes 1 Share |

One who always does what is RIGHT in all things, at all times, anywhere, any circumstance given. Problem is we've convinced ourselves that what is WRONG is RIGHT and what is RIGHT doesn't matter, and silence our inner conscience. |

ceeceeco: Probably right, but then what after such a person is found Because such a person came to Jesus And He said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, 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. Matthew 19:17-21 |

Kokoebapluse: And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, He gave up the ghost. Luke 23:46 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. John 20:12 I get, 1 angel and the other Jesus And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. John 20:14 |

nextstep: You are right, about righteousness being between the person and God, but righteousness is a person Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:30 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men , the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5 |
