Being ignorant of God's righteousness & trying to establish your own righteousness

beameup said:

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. - Romans 10:1-4

Many Gentiles essentially do the same thing by rejecting the sacrifice of God the Son and pursuing their "own righteousness".

AMEN.

If anyone is relying on their own righteousness, they are relying on the wrong one.

Romans 5:18 KJV
(18) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

The Jews established their own righteousness as God commanded in the Old Testament.

Who's the All men the free gift of justification came upon ? It can't be all men without exception since many are under Gods condemnation and wrath Jn 3:18,36!

Do you not know what the purification/ceremonial works are?

Leviticus 17:11 For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life.

It tell you right in the same verse.
The same 'all men' that the offense of Adam came upon.

Romans 5:18 KJV
(18) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

Are you blind? I gave you scripture. If you could see then you would at least acknowledge the Word of God that I gave you.

That's because not everyone believes. But the option is open for salvation if they repent and believe.

Those Christ died for were reconciled to God while being enemies and unbelievers, they did not believe, and they were not condemned Rom 5:10!

God's Truth said:

Reconciled while enemies means Jesus did not make us get circumcised first before he would save us.

We were Gentile enemies not circumcised in the flesh, but Jesus still saved us.
