and not our own. If we are not sure, what can we do about it?

Heaven is a free gift, it can't be earned and no one deserves it. The only requirement to getting to heaven is that we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and believe with all your heart, soul, and mind that Jesus died was buried and rose again. God knows that it's impossible for man to be sinless that's why he sent his only son and payment for our sins. His question will not be have you walked in Righteousness? It will be have you accepted my son?

Have you met him? do you know him? Can you quote more than a few lines supposedly attributed to him?
Are your beliefs really the beliefs that Jesus taught, or interpretations written down by others?
Who really are the ancestors of Jesus? Who really was his family? What really was his church- the Nazarenes?
Do you even know who the Nazarenes are? Or Nazara at the foot of Mt Carmel?
So if these are some of the fundamental questions you cannot possibly answer- the simplest and most important- how can you ask questions about Christ and righteousness?

We aren't sure at all, we can't be. That's what the Cross was all about. No one can be "righteous enough" for God. That's why Jesus went to the Cross and shed His blood as the perfect, sinless sacrifice. Our righteousness is Jesus' righteousness imputed to us (written down in our account as if it were ours). We are justified by Jesus' sacrifice, making it "just as if" I'd never sinned. By accepting Jesus' Lordship in our lives and asking Him to redeem us, we are given His righteousness to cover our sin. When God looks at one of His adopted children, He sees them thru the filter of the Blood of Jesus.

Romans chapter 3 pretty much lays it out that no one can walk in Christ's shoes, and all "fall short of the glory of God." So in that sense you can actually be sure that no one walks the correct path.

I refuse to walk in Christ's righteousness, my own is more than good enough and there is nothing I want to do about it.

We wont.
Jesus, being perfect, did his existence on earth once and completely.
Her is now in heaven alongside his heavenly Father,
We on earth have everything we need to know to do the right thing. But it is God's good 'heart' that grants us our benefits, not our own efforts.

I have every confidence that should the time come that I bump into him, we will no doubt have an extremely interesting dialouge in which we will both be able to clear a few things up for each other.

Anyone of us who thinks their religion is the only good one and who's judged others and hated in his/her heart in HIS name, will have to hold his or her head down in shame. There are some of those hate filled people in these q's and a's who call themselves "Christians" and in the same breath hate and judge others. They'll have some answering to do.

I'm suprised you push Jesus while your avator is a roman soldier.
Is the irony lost on you?
