It's very rewarding...it's very dangerous. It's not always hard: just give a dollar's worth for every dollar given you. But someone will hate you for it...a thousand love you for it.

There really is no such person, for all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. Fact is in the Christian faith ones righteous is not of themselves but bought and paid for with the blood of Jesus.
Because we sin there is nothing that we can do to make us righteous before God. Something or someone had to pay that price for us. Jesus paid that price for us and if we believe then we are made righteous by our faith in him.
It will make you sit back and think, if your truly believe of what and heavy price that was paid for us.

I take "righteous" to be vain and arrogant and prideful. Where does that fit in with living a Christian life?

It is in your best interest to ask Jesus Christ, there is no completely righteous person on the planet. If there was then Christ would be walking in physical form again. Gene frequency is so full of horse manure, its anwer is arrogant.

The only completely righteous person is Jesus Christ/ God.
To be a completely righteous person is to be like Jesus Christ.
Cordially,
John

Jesus. He is the only righteous one. No one else...Christian or not...not me...not you...no not one. By recognizing our brokenness, we each have an opportunity to ask forgiveness for our sin and be reconcilled to God the father, not through our own righteousness but by trusting in Jesus's righteousness alone.

It's not about being righteous, for no one is truly and completely righteous. It's about walking with God ANYWAY.

in christian mythology they think that once they believe in jesus they become god, and they think that believe in jesus makes a person righteous in the eyes of god, and them,
and because all non christians are unrighteous in the eyes of god, that person immediately becomes a dog and unrighteous in the eyes of the christian
revelation teaches in the english version that dogs arent allowed in heaven
thankfully we now know that christianity is a mythology and we try and liberate the cult members so they dont have to treat people who arent in their club with such disrespect

BY living as God expects me to live, I am righteous, by His grace. I am not righteous on my own.
