Subject: Are the declared righteous righteous? |
Bible Note: Joe, You wrote: "All other things being equal, I walk out of the courtroom identical in nature to the way I was when I went in." You entered the courtroom guilty of offense. You have stated the you leave the courtroom not changed. But then you state that you are no longer guilty. Do you see the contradiction here? Are you, in nature, guilty or not if the judge declares you not guilty and gives you the righteousness of another? You wrote: "As far as the judge is concerned, looking at the whole situation, I am not considered unrighteous." Does this mean then, that as far as the judge is concerned, you are righteous?
