Looking into the context of your first paragraph we may deduced that you may want to say that everything God does is always right, God cannot be accused of iniquity , or iniquity cannot be found in him, and that he is always fair. Did you at the same time wanted to bring to our attention about Jesus Christ righteousness. About the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ, that Jesus Christ had always been in obedience to his Heavenly Father, even all the way to the Cross. And not only that , but he was obedient as he, in the past been the Creator of all things, that includes Adam, and being the God of Abraham, and Moses and having a people for himself , the children of the Law of Moses, obeyed the Father who asked him to leave everything behind and start all over from the beginning, bringing his life and his inheritance into this world when he was concieved and born into our world. the righteousness of Jesus CHRIST, and that he will remain righteous forevermore with the righteousness of his Father, as he himself said: that he and the Father be always one, be found with the same righteousness and that we also may be with the same righteousness as him himself and for that reason we through him we will always have " the righteousness of God", by having the righteousness of Jesus Christ, imputed to us through faith in him. This also is telling us that Jesus Christ will remain righteous for ever, as he Judges over all things being made the Judge of all by his Father. He himself being Judge by no one, as no one can give him a command or subject him to obedience, as the Father gave him all authority in all things, he Jesus rules and not the Father. For that and for any other reason, we always have the righteousness of God in Jesus CHRIST, in other words having the imputed righteousness of JESUS CHRIST. As he is and so we are. He will have God's righteousness forever and so we, We are of the same righteousness as he is. So we can be with him and with the Heavenly Father . And we are also of the same life as he himself, the eternal LIFE, I undersdant that we also have our own life and our own spirit and our own righteousness. And we also have of his Spirit so we can be in fellowship with him and worship God in Spirit in the name of Jesus CHRIST. Yes, by reading all the grammatical mistakes you also made in YOUR post, we can easily see you are not an English teacher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gods love or God’s love? Gods mercy or God’s mercy? Gods righteousness or God’s righteousness? I always thought the apostrophe meant the word “is” Like if I wanted to say; Steves car or Steve’s car? I’m not sure?? I’m guessing in should be Steve’s car. My mistake, oooops. confused in Christ, Not me Edited June 28, 2018 by Not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake, oooops. confused in Christ, Not me Unless we mean to use an apostrophe to indicate a "contraction" (it's = it is) then, by reading the context, we can determine if the apostrophe is intended to designate "possession"... as in Steve's car = the car belonging to Steve. In the case of the NM's post, the fact that the context went on to include both a "HE" and a "HIS", it was obvious that NM meant for the word "God" to be "God's", and the " ' " was simply left out.

If I may ask, could you bless us with one more....... As to why....... an Englishman is the correct spelling and not "a Englishman", Without prejudice YCF.... English words begin with either a vowel or a consonant. Vowels are: AEIOU, and sometimes Y and W. (Sorry, the bummer of the English language is that sometimes we just have to memorize a couple of weird things.. like the Y and W : by and fly, etc. All other letters are consonants. But, never mind that for now, we are concerned with A or AN before words. (HINT: It is "sounds" that determine the word used before a word.) The "rule" is that you put AN in front of words beginning with vowels... and you put A in front of words beginning with consonants. HOWEVER, here is where that HINT I just gave you gets you past the confusion of words like "HONOR" getting AN in front of them. Does HONOR sound like it begins with an H? No, it doesn't. The H is "silent", and the word "sounds" like it begins with what? That's right, it sounds like it begins with an O. Remember the HINT? So we treat those rare weird words just the way they SOUND. If a word SOUNDS like it begins with a VOWEL.... then it gets the same word ahead of it that a word that actually began with a vowel would get. AN honor. A house.

I wish I had your skills and your fluency in the English language. I try to overcome this inefiency, by paying extreme attention to the context, so I have become a critical reader, if someone can say that. I cannot thank you enouph, you made it easy and you made it fun, easy to comprehend and remember. Thank for the choice of examples, I apreciate the time you took, God bless.... You are amazing!!!

LBT Hello N, the writter of John used the word "Word", he could have use the word " CHRIST", and it was available to use it, butvhe use the word to discrived the Creator "Word", for a special reason, and having a context in his mind, which was diferent than what most of the people think. When he use the word "Word" , many people from the Christian groups, and from the Jewish groups were deeply offended, and they were in strong disagreement. If some how you may dish us with what is the meaning or as to why the author of John use the word"Word", in this context we have to take a strong possition to disagree with your comnent. Even using "CHRIST" in that context is fundamentally incorrect and misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
