Gustaf, it's clear you don't like me. You have the right to like who you want. I must disagree that I'm not trying to be a good person. With the risk of bringing faith into this, I am doing my best to worship and honor and glorify my God. I fall short in many, many areas, and I have never said I'm perfect and have never meant I'm better than anybody else. You are right that I'm not a good person. There is no one good, except God, in the truest sense of the word that He created. He is the only definition of good. Our definitions of what is good and our good works are indeed filthy rags in His sight. That's why I'm so thankful for His grace that has cleansed me from all unrighteousness and has saved me from eternity in hell. I know that through the lens of Christ's blood, I am seen as spotless. That's the only way I can enter heaven.
I appreciate your honesty, and I've always respected you as a moderator because I've always seen you as fair even to those you do not personally like.
Yours truly,
Bushie
The only definition of ultimate goodness (for a Christian), but clearly there are good people out there and you make it too easy for yourself by just emphasising the dichotomy between God and us sinful humans. You could clearly get much closer to being a good person and act less egotistical - be careful not to use God as an excuse for not pursuing any self improvement.
