The righteous?

[Bobcat]

Jesus says in John 7:18 that those who are truthful are righteous but the truth He is speaking of is God’s word. In saying this He is discounting His own death and resurrection. In essence He is saying that we are redeemed by what we say. He actually has stated it before when He said we are justified by what we say. IE; “By your words you’ll be justified and by your words you’ll be condemned.”

John 7:18

“He 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.”

Jesus actually discredits Christianity with that teaching.

As Jesus said when praying to the Father:

John 17

“Consecrate them by means of truth.
Your word is truth”

Amen... God's Word is true.

God’s word is truth!!

“The LORD is near to everyone who calls upon Him, who calls upon Him in truth.”

17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
