Scott,

Would you mind answering several personal questions?

1) At this moment, in the sight of God, does your righteousness exceed that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law?

2) Why, or why not?

[color:purple]Scott replies: I do not have the sight of God so how can I answer that question?

3) Will your righteousness in God's sight continue to exceed that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law until the consummation of all things?

4) Why, or why not?

[color:purple]Scott replies: Since I cannot answer your first two questions, I cannot answer these two either.

5) What comfort, if any, does this knowledge give you?

[color:purple]Scott replies: I do not seek "comfort," I only seek to know, love and serve my Lord in this world so that I may live happily with Him in eternity.

In JMJ,

Scott<<<
