  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Sorry for the late reply,been super busy of late.

Biblical Righteousness is what God considers "Good" and "Just".

So by "His Righteousness" its,"His Goodness,Godliness,His Standerds,His Perfection".
(Mat 5:20) For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

To put this in context the Scribe and Pharisees were the holy men among the Jews. In the outward keeping of the law they were considered blameless. But for any of us to enter the kingdom of God our righteousness must be even greater than theirs.


That is why we must have the perfect righteousness of Christ imputed to us.

Very true indeed.

The context is what matters.

I was applying it to my quote attached to the post he made.

So by "God's Righteousness" it'd be "God's Goodness,Perfection,and Just-ness".

I guess you could roughly say Righteousness is "The Goodness and Holiness of one's perspective" to some degree the scribes had their holiness,their righteousness from the perspective of themselves and most others. But it falls utterly short of the True Righteousness of God,that triumphs over the judgement of all other beings.

God’s Righteousness being perfect,Holy,Godly,unbreaking, pure,justified will.

Cheers
