Do you consider yourself to be a good person? (tradition, belief, sinners) - Christianity - - Page 2 - City-Data Forum

Nope. I consider myself to be an absolutely awesome person. God is absolutely awesome as well.

And no, I don't see myself as equal to God. I'm His child and absolutely loved beyond imagining.

I'm bad to the bone,my garments are like filthy rags,thank goodness I have a Saviour in Jesus Christ., because I obviously can't save myself.

Are You Heading For Heaven Or Hell?

I think its a trick question. Aren't we all heading for the new earth?

This comedian was like, 'God is testing me...and he knows I'm a C student so that's just so not cool'

speaking of that, doesn't it say somewhere in the Bible not to say God's testing you? I've thought he was before, but I think I read some where you're not suppose to think that. I guess that's off topic....I think I'm a good person in some areas, but not so much in others. I didn't take the test either.

Want to try something funny? Take that "test" and say "Yes, I'm a good person."

After that, it'll ask you a series of questions designed to prove that you're not. Whatever it asks if you've ever done, so "No, I never have."

You won't get past Question 5. It'll just keep repeating the same questions over and over and over. LOL That question is about anger, so maybe the test is trying to make you mad!

When it comes down to it, only God is good. Even Jesus asked "why do you call me good(Mar 10:18)?

But it is God that works in us to will and do of HIS good pleasure ...

And If we are loving our neighbor as ourselves we are doing the law that is commanded.

James 2:8
"If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well(good):"

We are good if we love our Neighbor, and it is only by God that we are able to truly love our neighbor, even our enemies.
