Is a righteous person one who is compassionate, kind, generous?

Or is he one who just gets along with others for the sake of peace?

Or is he one who just speaks up against evil in his environment

Or he who does not steal, commit adultery etc.while not committing any good (ASSUME GOOD AND BAD IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE) Sct

That is, is righteousness based on the good act we do or bad act we don't or constant thought and speech on good and bad act.

Two scenarios:

MR X worked in a government establishment where fund was constantly embezzled. He spoke against it constantly and never partook in them. The crooks set him up and almost got sacked in the process. Finally, he was posted to another government organization

In this new organization, he didn't speak up against corruption. he would watch an keep mute. At times,he is giving a part of corrupt proceed. He decided to use the money to feed less privileged, pay stranger school free etc.

IN WHICH OF THE ABOVE CASES CAN WE CALL HIM A RIGHTEOUS MAN.

There is no one righteous,not even one (romans 3:10)





*spews

Damnnnnn niggarrr

I don't know of other planet but I can bet my balls that there is no righteous soul on planet earth

Those yeye mod won't tell Nairalanders from other religion to swear of accepting Jesus as their saviour before commenting on the post

Back to the topic ,no more Christ like, na hypocrite full everywhere

No one is righteous

How about you bothered about living a life that focuses more on minding your own business instead of giving a fok about those living a godly and unrighteous life

When will Nigerian Christians understand that Christianity is a PERSONAL RACE NOT A GROUP JOURNEY

A dedicated life in Christ where we no longer LIVE our lifes but that of Christ who died for us is called Righteousness

Simply, A sincere life in Christ Jesus is called a righteous living

A righteous person is a person who knows what is RIGHT and do it.
When you see someone doing GOOD, doing the RIGHT thing at the RIGHT time, definitely, he is a righteous man.

righteous man can't hurt you
Can't bribe you
Can't mock you
Can't gossip about you
Can't criticise you, and lots more.

Happy Gaudete Sunday.

Alright

None is righteous,in fact your trying to be righteous is an abomination to GOD,Man is inherently unrighteous and sinful.
The fact that Mr X has not taken part in fraud is not a sign that he is righteous.

In case A

Robbing Peter to pay Paul is unrighteous in the sight of God

Is 64:6

All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

Following...

The only righteous person is the person who's keeping the ten (10) commandments, if you can find one, then you've found a righteous person.

You painted the canvas well, although you should added that the only person that determines righteous acts is God so we need to know what he wants as righteous acts.

So like a poster said up there, consult your Bible. Shalom.

The Bible already said that only GOD THE FATHER IS RIGHTEOUS
am just emphasizing it to our understanding, That we can only imitate God for being righteous by doing Good.

Which balls are you talking about , those tiny kolanuts??

Even Bible is a liar

*Bible said rabbit can chew the curd

* can any Christian tell us what was the last word of Jesus when he was on the cross?

*can any Christian tell us how many angel Mary Magdalene saw at the grave of Jesus after resurrection according to gospel of Mathew, mark, Luke, john? Etc

Author and reader of Bible are scarmers

OP, to really answer your question, I have come out of your context. Good works obviously come with righteousness but can also be displayed without it, (this would be morality which brings along good rewards of creation, if not from men) but this cannot pass in the presence of God. The true test of righteousness, however, is simply the SOURCE of the good works. If they come from our self discipline, they remain just morality and will bring us good rewards of creation but if they come from the spring of Christ's seed in a man's spirit, they are the proof of indwelling righteousness in a man. And if the man allows the Christ seed to possess him and subdue his carnal tendencies completely, he will become ultimately the manifestation of God's righteousness. (Php 1:11, 3:9).
As for those saying righteousness is nonexistent and impossible, that's why God had to die so that the impossibility can now be possible. So it is possible for those that can activate the mystery of Christ's sacrifice and not just for any Christian

ceeceeco:

But you Christian said 10 commandments of Moses is a scam that Jesus have die for all sin and no one need law of Moses again,

And re you a Jew's that need to follow 10 commandments? You re a Christian, so drink blood and eat flesh of your man made god

thank you, Jesus.
