I am hoping to one day be as righteous as him in this life. For I beleive the Blood was not needed, but all are to lazy to seek the Lord for his ways and righteousness, or lack the faith to believe.
does it not say Jesus came for the sinners not the rigtheous....

I am sure Jesus love's the righteous just as much as the sinners....just the sinners do not love Jesus back.

ALL HAVE fallen short, but me because YOU DO NOT SEEK THE LORD YOUR GOD. Romans 3:11. If you do not seek him, you will not understand him, and the way of peace(heaven) his way is not found. Job 28:7-12.

John 14:6 Jesus says, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."
Romans 3:10 As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Galatians 3:22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
You are lying to yourself by thinking that your good works are going to get you into heaven.
Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God; 9 not of works lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Grace! Faith, which doesn't even come from us, God gives it to us. Then we will walk the way He wants us to.

The bible also says that Jesus said, "No man can get to heaven by his good deeds, It would be easier to push a camel (the animal) through the eye of a needle." All have sinned! The wages of sin is death (hell) even if you only committed one sin you still go to hell. The "came for the sinners not the righteous" means, " I came for the lost, not the ones that are safe." The blood is needed!

We are all sinners. Some terribly sinful, others not so much, but Christ atoned and died for us all. Through Him our sins are forgiven and forgotten and we may approach God to dwell with Him.
You should indeed seek to be as righteous as He was. He said, "Be ye therefore perfect." And we know He has been the only perfect one on earth.
No matter how righteous you become, you need Christ's atonement to move you forward. We can never be righteous enough on our own.

By your own admission you "have no real life or job for 6 yrs".
It just might be helpful to work on the spelling and punctuation and perhaps do something about your life on earth.
Your "Lord" is pissed at you for goofing off and wasting what he's already provided you.

Seeker,
I have read your questions and received your last email a couple of days ago. I, myself, feel as though you are confused with how you express yourself. I prayed to God to tell me how I might reply to you, to give me some that you might benefit from. This is what he gave me.
Matthew 7:1-5
2 Thessalonians 2: 9-12
The Holy Spirit instructed me to give you this:
1 Timothy 6: 3-5
And told me to say this:
"But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word ..." 2 Corinthians 4:2
"I warm everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from this words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book." Revelation 22: 18-19
"For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud arrogant, abusive disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having ther appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all as was that of those two men." 2 Timothy 3: 1-9
The Bridegroom keeps Peace with His bride. Anyone within the Body that does not follow this IS NOT a part of Christ. Be careful where your feet tread for it is not wise to stir up tension within the Lord's people. He sees all and knows all, and His hand is mighty to those whom He smites. Pray to the Father and Son that your spirit might be free from the one that has hold over you now. He is not worthy of you and the evil ones grasp is strong. Only God can free you. Not his arrogance and pride. Be free from this sin, my brother. And you will know God.
2 Corinthians 4: 4
Forgive me Seeker, but this was what I was told to say. It's your message from the Lord. Please, do not discard it. I pray that you can see through the devil's disguise and through your own conceit. I pray that your confusion is replaced with the real Truth. And that any Christians who are glamorized by Satan's trickery through you are saved and spared by the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 4: 6
God Bless you lost lamb.

Sorry mate, but I can think of no satisfactory answer to that degree of muddled thinking.

you are not making any sense. "All have fallen short..." God loves us all, and we are all sinners.
