I made no contradiction from what was stated:

Religiousness, masquerades itself as being the light.
While it condemns the rest of humanity to darkness.

A persons deeds consist of their thought and actions.
You cannot love others, while condemning them.
OK. read it them.

Can you answer the questions now?

Do you think Jesus meant (in John 3) what you are saying?

They are simple questions, but you keep posting deflections.

The action or process of deflecting comes from your own thoughts, not mine.

"By your words you'll be justified and by your words you'll be condemned."

"The words I speak are not my own it is the Father who lives in me performing His works."

Here you can see that the words of God are the works that save.

Jesus never said, by your actions you'll be justified. He said by your words. Twist it how you like but it says what it means.

Anyone who hears my word and does not keep it I am not the one who condemns him for I did not come to condemn the world but to save it. Anyone who rejects me and does not accept my word he already has his judge namely the words I have spoken that's what will condemn him on the last day.

Hold tightly to those thoughts, they are "repetitiously" manifested in your actions.

Using Jesus' words to make yourself sound like him isn't a copyright violation....but it should be.

Keeping Jesus word, is obedience ,more than the letter but to the direction of the Holy Spirit Jesus solely designated to teach in his place. One is not righteous with out it.
"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness......."

That's the point. Anyone can accept my words though they are not mine but the Lord's who sent me.

Funny how Jesus parroted the words of the Father and sent His followers as He was sent with the same words and glory yet you claim to follow Him but do nothing of the sort. Ridiculous.

I do nothing on my own I judge as I hear and my judgment is righteous because I am not seeking my own will but the will of Him who sent me.
The Lord who sent me commanded me what to say and how to speak and since I know His commandment is eternal life what I say is spoken just as He instructed me.

Anyone who speaks on his own seeks his own glory but he who seeks the glory of the One who sent him is truthful and there is no unrighteousness in him.
