He was chosen?? Or rather did things simply just happen on his watch?
That could be said of King Herod, couldn't it?

I misread your post. My point was the most righteous person apart from God, still is guilty of pride refusing God.
Mercy comes from submission, repentence, humility towards God, not self righteousness.

A righteous man won't refuse God. Why not consider that first before making your shallow assertion?

Its for the world, none is righteous !
Thats a false and invalid statement !
That passage doesnt say:
However for those who choose to do Romans 10:9-10, they receive the righteousness of God,
You are a false witness !

Mary was righteous. You want refute that? Why not say
"no she wasn't"? Lets hear from you!
You have no righteousness of your own (Ro 3:23, Re 3:17). Get yourself a savior.
Jesus loves you (Jn 3:16). Jesus is willing to save you (2 Pe 3:9). Repent (Eze 18:30-32; Ac 17:30). Believe (Mk 9:23).
As a reminder Cross Reference is number 7 on Satan, Inc. (TOL Heretics list) in the misc. category. :burnlib:

Does Rom 3:10 say none are righteous except mary?

What's wrong, sonny Jim? Can't you bring yourself to say Mary wasn't righteous?? Yer a joke. Rom 3:10 does say what you think it does. But you will never receive that because you have sold your soul.
Who was more UN-righteous than David at several times in his life and yet God called him a man after his own heart, and Paul quotes him. Go figure your willful ignorance; your unwillingness to "study to show yourself approved . . . ".

Which proves the point that mercy comes before righteousness, because there is none without Him and He comes through mercy. If His holiness is grasped its easy to see He comes through mercy.

Mercy comes as a result of a broken and contrite heart the which God will not despise.

Does Rom 3:10 say none are righteous except mary ?
Consider this--
Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

You think you do? :dizzy: Then you are not in need of a savior (Mk 2:17). Good luck at the Great White Throne. :burnlib:[You have no righteousness of your own (Ro 3:23, Re 3:17).

My point that true good only comes through humilty towards Him reflecting Him in words and deeds agrees with that.
Vs those who seek their own righteousness apart from Him, works that just puff up ones own pride.

Why make the assertion that those who disagree with you are seeking their own righteousness? Why not read the Bible to see all those who were righteous in the OT. Those who died waiting for the promise of the righteousness of Jesus to redeem them?
