There are many here who do not believe in God's Righteousness, because they do not believe in hell or separation from God, for those who live in sin and do not repent. But here in Romans 10:2-4 it says (Paul speaking) "I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For being ignorant of the righteousness THAT COMES FROM GOD, and seeking to establish their own righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
-Many are caught up in their own righteousness and not willing to understand God's- that is why they put up the "unfair" flag.
What do you think?

Oh I have come on here and shared the disease with everyone, and they have been given the cure, just many do not want to accept it. The gospel should be shared the EXACT way it is- As Jesus taught it.

Yes I agree.
Plus many think carnally rather than spiritually and try to put limitations on God.
All they have to do to understand more is put forth their hand.
Adam and Eve.
They ate (assimilated or consumed knowledge) from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Satan).
That's why God said;
Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
We all must eat (assimilate or consume knowledge) of the tree of life (Jesus Christ), to live for ever.
All they have to do to understand more is ASK SEEK KNOCK.
Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Mat 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

first of all as a muslim i would have to agree PARTLY with what you have said. there is also another point here. people worship god in all different lights. and we should all respect that. just because you do not like it does not mean you are immune to the expectation of respecting them. i used to be a christian and when i read where you said why do people place an unfair flag i can be the first to tell you that christians say that the bible is the ultimate word of god. so i ask them does god contradict god? they say no so why is it in the bible there are contradictions. i urge you to look up biblical contradictions via the net and whip out your bible and look them up for yourself. it is proven that scriptures and whole books have been removed from the bible. the whole book of barnubus has been removed from the bible. you can find this fact even on the history channel and it is well known knowledge among scholars. so there for when you have a book that is filled with contradictions and missing peices how can you expect one to say this is the truth. remember the last line of the bible states that if ONE word is changed, altered, or text is deleted then great punishment will come upon who ever is responsible. muslims believe that the torah was the truth until it was altered as well as the bible being the truth until it was altered. these books are respected in islam but we know it is not 100% the truth. hense god does NOT contradict god. we are all responsible for our selves. we all should not live in ignorance for ourselves before we go around telling others what is wrong with them. this is a big lesson for man kind. man kind owes no other human being an explination for their sin. this is not god's law. hense a reasonw hy we have hajj. we owe only god an explination. jesus peace be upon him said "worship god" in the bible. jesus was mentioned more times in the holy quran the the prophet muhammuds name. p.b.u.h. if you or any other person wants to draw people closer to god then what the world needs to do is to allure people by actions. not by hipocraisy. there are some mormons who lead good lives by examples. there are good muslims, jews, amish, etc....... there will always be sinners. people have the free will to choose what they want to do. it is not up to you to tell them how they are supposed to live their life. "he who is with out sin cast the first stone" jesus peace be upon him quoted this. think long and hard about this statement and worry for yourself!

No one and no thing is 'righteous'.
Righteousness is a state of having no sin. Since sin is an offense to the gods, and there are no gods, sin does not exist. One cannot have or lack that which does not exist.

I think that blind faith in a book translated, and chosen from many, by men with an agenda, and then trying to get the rest of the world to believe the same, is probably indicative of a lack of, and fear of individuality.

Did you know Paul said Jesus would return to establish his kingdom on earth before Paul died? Did you know Paul was wrong about many things, like "there is a god"?

I've heard it said by many Christian speakers that you shouldn't go preaching about a cure when people don't know they have a disease. "Sin" is an ugly word these days, and the line between right and wrong has become blurred. I do agree that most people think they are righteous and good.
Not that Christians are, no one is. People who have Jesus as their Lord and Savior are just forgiven. :)

Did you know?
Your religion is one among thousands; most people follow another one, or none at all. Your christ means nothing to most people, and never will.
Presenting your religion as factual information makes you seem even unable to comprehend this.
What made you choose your particular religion? Just being born into it?
Your god is far more unfair than anybody here.

I think you and Paul are wrong. I dont beleive in GOD - not hell or separation from God, but God himself doesnt and cannot exist. And, a quote from a long dead stone aged cave dweller proves nothing, as neither does a personal experience.
But thats just me...

Did you know that there are many of us who don't care how you characterize our beliefs? Did you know that many of us just wish you'd be happy believing your thing and keeping it personal? Did you know that many of us are only concerned with what you force feed our children in the public arena?

Did you know that repentance has nothing to do with whether or not you believe in "Hell"? It has to do with your relationship with "God". Not rules! If you are repenting so that you do not go to "Hell", then you may have some problems.
