What this means jimmie, is when the veil is removed from the eye of our mind, you see the true reality of yourself reflected back to you when you gaze upon Jesus Christ. The obstacle for everyman to get beyond is the thinking that the man he looks at in the mirror is his true identity, Jesus Christ came to wake us up out of the lost truth of our true identity, which can only be seen when you understand that our lost identity is Jesus Christ, in seeing this, Jesus Christ is the living water that flows from our innermost being.
Now that is profound, but totally rejected by the organized fundamentalist church that is a daughter of Rome .
That seems at odds with Jesus’ words.
“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Then why did he say...Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven?.
To show us that if you’re going to follow the law, you better follow it perfectly.
Where does it say we compete or compare righteousness with Jesus?.
For I say unto you, That except YOUR (Yes i know Paulie quoted OT scripture saying none are righteous) righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
By your own admission, you are saying you have not entered into kingdom living.

Simple yet profound.

Christ Jesus did not become sin, so that you could be justified.
However, you can believe whatever it is you select to believe.
“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Matt. 20:28
What?? How does that verse conflict with what i said?. We serve out of love not duty, we find ourselves in that way by knowing we are loved, and not only that, but greatly loved no matter who you are. Believing you are a sinner or looking upon other to be sinners under condemnation of God, you will never serve out of love, but out of duty to a belief about God.
Satan desires to destroy all men/ all mankind ..and with that the Son of Man.
Your theology seems to be predicated on the belief that Satan is a second God with all the powers you attribute to him. Given what fate ultimately awaits this Satan you believe in, perhaps you can explain why he would want to do what you claim? What does he get out of it given his ultimate fate?
Whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
