[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's your point, PP?[/quote] Well, it's not my point, but Jesus's point, and that is that those who are focused on their sinfulness before God and ask forgiveness of it are forgiven, and that those who make a point of feeling justified by their own good actions are not.[/quote] Nobody here was proposing such self-righteousness.[/quote] I might be misreading things, and if so, I'm sorry for belaboring this point. But I do think that is what was being proposed. Saying we have to do good works to be saved is trusting in our own (that is, self-)righteousness, and then pointing to other people's sin and saying no way can [i]those guys[/i] be saved because of all their sins seemed to me what this passage in Matthew was addressing. I do believe that habitual, unrepentant, willful sinning is indicative of someone without true faith in Christ, but the Bible does say that it is our faith alone that saves us.[/quote]
