What is Righteousness?

Again, non sequitur. Doubling down doesn't magically change anything.

Yahshua didn't silence any Kings as he was put to death.

All were silenced by Christ, even the ones who were to put Him to death..


Matthew 22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

The onus is on you to prove that he sinned. Shifting the burden of proof is a logical fallacy.

Yes I asked a simple question, and if you did not want to show scripture, it is answered, there is none to show.

I will always have that knowledge, and share to all, that Jesus on the sabbath worked, teaching, healing, miracles.

To do good and well ion sabbath is not sin either..


John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

Matthew 12:12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

The first covenant was with Adam. Are you now suggesting that YHWH is unjust?

All in Adam die, there is no exception.

All in Christ now are made alive.


1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Are you able to answer even one question?

Make it clear, did Jesus rest on sabbath, do you have verses to show in the Gospel ?

HARK! said:

The Sadducees weren't Kings.

They were leaders, and were silenced, as all were by Christ.

Because what was never told before, now was told.


Here the Herodians hear Christ and being told things new, told the same to King Herod of course.

Matthew 22:16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

just one question, it is not too much, and it can answer your idea of righteousness, did Jesus rest or not rest sabbath, by working the works of God, in preaching in synagogues, in miracles and in healing in them too ?

My new thread of, thee questions, is all from Mathew today, that shows what Jesus and the disciples do, if you want to know how Jesus is on sabbath, that shows us all entirely and in all details.

Are you suggesting that Paul was mistaken?

(CLV) Eph 5:21
being subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

I don't think Jesus would wish Christians to be in fear of him. The KJV has it fear of God.

HARK! said:

Well now you know.

This is exactly the sort of reason why I stopped using the KJV, and switched to a literal translation.

I know I have no need for a literal version, because Jesus is our Lord and master ( to whom we fear Malachi 1:6)


For servants to be obedient to those who are their masters, ( according to the flesh) with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as unto Christ....



John 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

Ephesians 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

Then there's this.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Casting out fear of men, would not be casting out fear of God.


Jesus cast out the fear of men..


Hebrews 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;


And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.




But these cast out fear of God, as we are told about them at the end now..



Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

Job 41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

I take this to mean that if you are going to fear anyone fear God. However I don't believe that fear (terror) is necessary for salvation.

2 Corinthians 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

The terror spoken of here is the judgment. Do you fear the judgment?

What is righteousness?

Definition of righteous

1 : acting in accord with divine or moral law : free from guilt or sin
Definition of RIGHTEOUS

Should we take Webster's word for it?

What does YHWH say?

(CLV) Dt 6:25
So it shall come to be righteousness for us when we observe to do all this instruction before Yahweh our Elohim, just as He had enjoined on us.

I notice that YHWH requires us to "do" something.

Could this have changed since YHWH sent his own son to teach us obedience to his Torah?

(CLV) 1Jn 3:7
Little children, let no one be deceiving you. He who is doing righteousness is just, according as He is just.

There's that "do" word again.

Shabbat shalom.

The “righteousness of God” is most accurately and fully defined by the term “love”, which is why the greatest commandments, for example, are what they are since love fulfills all other commands, i.e., the Law. And love acts, for the good of others, by its nature.
