Reword your question please, I am not beyond misunderstanding you. If you don't mind.

There isn't a competition to be better than the next guy.

Now you're saying that there are no A-people nor B-people? You say that every one has the same value?

By this, do you say that christians are not better than non-christians? That in fact non-christians very well can be better than christians?

God is not a respecter of people, He does not play favorites. The first shall last and the last shall be first. How can anyone be more righteous than the next guy if Jesus blood is what cleans us both?

There are sinners saved by Christ and sinners not saved by grace; however, all of them Jesus died for. Where the distinction comes in are those who make Jesus Lord and Savior and those that don't. He calls us all, and paid for our sins to make us righteous before God, but not everyone cares or feels the need.

Yes, yes, but you totally avoid my comments:

In our own righteousness why wouldn't you be right, and that be true? Since we are all sinners and since Jesus died for all, in pure human to human comparison the reality would have to mean some Christians just in their own righteousness may not be as good as some non-Christians.

That said again God gives us Jesus righteousness that dwarfs all others so we are acceptable to God. None of us can therefore look down upon any other our since our justification rests upon Jesus Christ, not our selves. Our righteousness before God is filthy rags, so why bring it up?

Best to just be obedient, thankful, loving, caring, full of grace because we are loved and forgiven when we didn't deserve it!

Again you are totally avoiding my questions so I try again:

Everyone has value, not sure what you want from me. We are all important, we are all much loved, we are all under the power of sin, we all need Jesus. What is confusing you

I answered that if my answer didn't cover your question properly please reword it. I believe Jesus spoke in parables so we have to seek and find truth. Some things are hidden!

I don't have any issues with anything Jesus said or how He said it.

What do you think Jesus meant by this?


Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them

You don't need me for Jesus' words, if want me to answer a question I have to use my words.
