1) Where did Jesus or any of the apostles call the righteous acts of the saints filthy rags? Nowhere, and in fact John warns us not to be deceived on this matter. 1 JO 3:7 2) That prayer from isaiah, is an intercession for the sinners in Israel, and is a reflection of Ez 18:24

When we are in unrepentant sin, all of our deeds are like filthy rags to the Lord. And when you read that chapter in Context in Isaiah, you see that is what He is saying. God proclaimed Abel righteous, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joshua, Moses, Aaron, Job, etc.

As do I vanity is trying to sanctify your past sins through the law and circumcision. Not living obedient to show you love God. Isaiah 1:16-20 explains this beautifully as does Paul in acts 26:20. We must repent, cease from our wicked ways, turn to God, and produce good fruit.

let me ask this before I head to Church tonight. The early Church, the Gospel was being preached, where did Paul or Peter proclaim, "Jesus paid it all" Nowhere. But if you deny your own God given free will, this is a pointless conversation. You make God guilty of your sin.

Let me ask you this question. Apart from the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His indwelling Spirit that’s in you, what makes you able in of your own self to stand before a Holy God declared righteous before Him? There’s no “work(s) righteous enough to save you.pic.twitter.com/qcVM4EeLc7

Rom 3:27-28 |KJV Where is boasting then?It is excluded. By what law?of works? Nay:but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. For by GRACE are ye saved through FAITH; and that not of YOURSELVESpic.twitter.com/bBiK7uOZA3

We are saved by grace through faith, but we will do good works because we are saved, not to be saved or to earn salvation Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Grace is the abundance of God that replaced circumcision, it did not replace our need to live righteously for God. How do you reconcile all the passages telling us saints must live righteously, including from Paul? That sinners, even if they know Christ will go to hell?
