"…not sure that obedience is all there is to righteousness, But praise God, I think I understand you. Yes I have a Bible, and I belive every word of it.
The Bibles also teaches humility, among other things.
Thanks"

Obedience is not all there is to righteousness. We must be filled with the Holy Ghost and follow the leading of the Spirit which leads in paths of righteousness. Jesus was perfectly righteous, and we must be in the process of being conformed to His image.

Humility is the opposite of pride. Humanity without Christ is one mass of pride. Every evil act stems from a heart of pride. People can put on a show of humility in their pride. When we yield to pride, we yield to the devil.

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. (Jam 4:6)

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (Jam 4:7)

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. (Jam 4:8)

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. (Jam 4:9)

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. (Jam 4:10)

I am stating what the Bible states. Do you believe the Bible? Human reasoning is not spiritual discernment. The Bible teaches sinless perfection. Don't you think we should be striving to be what we are called to be—which is sinless. Righteousness is imputed by faith even as it was with Abraham—but faith yields obedience, which is righteousness.

1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

We are not under the law but grace.

Rom 6:1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

I John 1:
7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Scofield, 1917 wrote:
[1] {light} What it is to "walk in the light" is explained by vs. 8-10. "All things. . .are made manifest by the light"# Eph 5:13 The presence of God brings the consciousness of sin in the nature# 1Jo 1:8 and sins in the life# 1Jo 1:9,10 The blood of Christ is the divine provision for both. To walk in the light is to live in fellowship with the Father and the Son. Sin interrupts, but confession restores that fellowship. Immediate confession keeps the fellowship unbroken.

"Hi Abi
Do you know anyone that is righteous
as Jesus is righteous?"_____
The Bible, the New Testament in particular, teaches sinless perfection.
1Jo 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
All that are born of the Spirit and are walking in the Spirit are righteous as Jesus Christ is righteous. The question is, 'who' is born of the Spirit and walking in the Spirit. Have you been born of the Spirit and are walking in the Spirit?

"Hi Abi

Do you know anyone that is righteous

_____

The Bible, the New Testament in particular, teaches sinless perfection.

The wages of sin is death. (Rom 6:23).

1Jo 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1Jo 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

Don't you think these Scriptures should put the fear of God in people?

All that are born of the Spirit and are walking in the Spirit are righteous as Jesus Christ is righteous. The question is, 'who' is born of the Spirit and walking in the Spirit. Have you been born of the Spirit and are walking in the Spirit?

Calvinists seem to teach that the only sin is free will.
