you said "Apparently you do not hear nor do you live because they go hand in hand." you're entitle to what you think, you know concerning myself. I have to prove myself to Jehovah God and Jesus, that's all that matters. also you basically confirmed the verses I posted, James 4:4 and 1John 2:15-17. when you said "Those who belong to the world think like the world and speak in a worldly way." those "thinking like the world", also live as the "world" do. yet some of them are "good", does that mean they're living righteous? the scriptures I post before shows if we're living the lifestyle of the "world." then we're not "GOOD", in the sense of living righteously. peace

Your post conflicts with Jesus' words because you use the word good as the world thinks, He didn't.
"Those who do good shall rise to live."
Your trying to explain good. I get it. But that's not what this thread is about.
If you do good as God sees good then you hear His word and live. One cannot just hear His word with the ear and actually understand it. One has to do good to actually hear and understand.
What is doing good? That's for another thread.
Start it and post what it is. You have some good verses.
