As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I judge myself as righteous before God, not for anything I ever did or ever could do, or anything here I am or anything I will be, but because of Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, to redeem me to the Father. Christ paid for my utter failings. The only One Who could and I base all that I am on that confession.
As St. Paul teaches by the Holy Ghost, the blood of Christ, as the complete Atonement does not give anyone the right to sin. Christ forgiveness is not a license to license. It is not a pardon to keep on sinning in weakness or pleasure. Christ overcame the world, sin, death and satan. He did it, and it is every Christian's commission to die to sin daily and grow to a perfection of God.
Be thou perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect.
In my experience as the popular girl and poor orphan girl, I have a view of the world, from the inside of most people. I know what you are, because I know you by your actions. It troubles me a great deal, even if I am made aware in Scripture in how many people are really sending themselves to hell, in claiming they are Cain righteous, but in Judgment will be ordered by Christ to depart, even though they did great things in His Name.
Matthew the Apostle
Chapter 27
22 Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness! 24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
TL's parent was a quasi intellectual, He has no Faith. He rooted himself in lecturing others that witnesses were required, as in proof to believe the Gospel. Having had a go round with his nonsense and being dismissed in the teachings the Holy Ghost Inspires here, this ignorant sinner rejected the reality that BY FAITH, are all saved. By Faith is one of the most beautiful writings in the Bible, which are repeated over and over again. For it is not the good things we do which pays for Salvation, but good things we do, which proves we are Christs. Faith in Christ as the only begotten Son of God is how we are all saved.

The Faith of Abraham and Sarah 7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. 8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he dwelt in the ...
Is salvation by faith alone, or by faith plus works ...
Immediately after telling us that we are saved by faith, not works (Ephesians 2:8-9), Paul informs us that we were created to do good works (Ephesians 2:10). Paul expects just as much of a changed life as James does: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17).Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved ...
(1 b.) Ephesians 2:8-10 (taking up and working out the parenthetical "by grace ye are saved" of Ephesians 2:5) form an instructive link of connection between these Epistles and those of the earlier group, especially the Epistles to the Galatians and Romans.(Comp. Philippians 3:9.)In both there is the same doctrine of "Justification by Faith," the same denial of the merit of good works, the ...
I meet many people in the work of this blog. It returns to how many are rejecting Christ now, pretending they are Christian, but in the Judgment will be Judged Righteously otherwise.
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to be saved, and yet what shining example is Joseph of Aramathea, one of the richest men in the world, who was Faithful in Christ in the crucifixion and after, when there was no reason to be, for cheering crowds of the day before who ran away when the guards came.
10000.03 are just numbers, like computer code, but they have meaning somewhere. Perhaps the meaning is giving a cup of water in Christ's Name to one who thirsts. Perhaps it is the number of 10 healed lepers and only one returned to remember the work of Christ. God knows the meaning of numbers and people are numbered, forever numbered. Every act of good is recorded, every act of rebellion is recorded. Some to the Glory of the Father and some to the Judgment of hell.
Luke the Apostle 17
17 Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?" 19 Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
I have seen the numbers. In Samaria only 1 in 10 survived, and those were the ancestors of Americans in the great reckoning. I have seen the numbers in 2/3rds of the population of the world dies in the End Times. I have seen "many are called and few are chosen". I know the numbers from experience. I know how few are the Good Samaritan and bind up the wounds of those cast to the side of the road.
God bless the Good, that they receive a Prophet's reward from the Father in Heaven. God bless them in earth below and Heaven above. May when others have sorrows, they will have joy. When others have darkness, they will have light. When the world is in chaos, let the Peace which passes understanding be theirs. In Jesus Name Amen and Amen
