1. Where these people, righteous, do good works, do good for other people, feed the poor, be perfect, do not sin; religious leaders of that day?
OR
2. Where they thieves, murders, harlots, sinners and con artist of that day?
If it is question number 1, then why did Jesus choose a tax collector (a sinner) over a religious leader (proclaims to be righteous) in that day?
Mathews 21: 31–32
Jesus said “Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.
Luke 18: 9 – 14 (the tax collector and the religious Leader)
If it is question number 2, then why do we act like the religious leaders of that day? We think that we must do good works, be righteous, holy, and say that we believe in God with our lips but not with our hearts, that we do not do his will?
John 6: 28–29 (what works shall we do?)
John 16: 8-9 (of sin; because they do not believe in me)
Mark 16: 15–18 (how do we do the will of God?)
