Is everyone a sinner, What does Jesus Say ?
We see in the Gospel, the word *righteous* means pure and sinless. As the two words
*righteous* and 'sinner' are always opposite each other in the New Testament.
Furthermore, Jesus is described as righteous, therefore we know that the word means:
without sin.
For example;
"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any
man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:" {1 John
2:1}
Now that we see righteous means sinless, lets see what Jesus says about humans:
"I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that
repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance."
{Luke 15:7}
It is very Clear from this verse that Jesus did not come to die for the sins of All
humans because according to Jesus, some humans *did not need to repent* because they were
~righteous~
"But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for
I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." {Matthew 9:13}
Again Jesus is saying he did not come for everyone, Jesus only came for a particular
group. Jesus clarifies that there are two groups, "the sinners and the
righteous" not only one group of sinners as modern Christians claim.
"And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and
ordinances of the Lord blameless." {Luke 1:6}
Here, even God sees that some were without sin, because they followed the commandments.
"When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the
physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance." {Mark 2:17}
Again Jesus is makeing the destinction that some are sick (sinners) and some are not
sick (the righteous) Jesus does not say "I came for All because all are sinners"
Jesus says he came for *MANY* {Mark 10:45} not all. Many could mean 10 people, big
difference from saying "ALL".
"I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." {Luke 5:32}
Important words, verifieing that Jesus did not come to all those who were righteous,
but the many who were sinners.
"but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be
better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the
depth of the sea." {Matthew 18:6}
Jesus is saying that the little ones are without sin because anyone who causes them to
sin, the result would be deadly.
"Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is
righteous, even as he is righteous." {1 John 3:7 }
Here Jesus is saying that there are righteous, sinless people and do not let anyone
tell you that everyone is a sinner because there are righteous people.
We also read (Joh 9:31) "We know that God does not listen to
sinners, but if any one is a worshiper of God and does his will,
God listens to him."
This automatically clarifies that Abraham, Moses, Hagar, and all
those God directly communicated with, are _not_ sinners
because God does not listen to sinners.
Then 'Paul' _again_ contradicts the teachings of Jesus be saying [Romans 3:10] "As
it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"
If God and Jesus *Declare* that some humans are Righteous, why do Christians believe
'Paul' more then Jesus and God?
Inconclusion, Jesus did not die for our sins, Jesus was saved from the cross, not all
are with sins and sins are easily forgiven. As Jesus says: "Judge not, and you will
not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be
forgiven;{Luke 6:37}
Each individual is responsible for their own sins "If you forgive
the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are
retained." {John 20:23}
