Why Do You Call Me Good?

Dear Brothers, and for those tuning into this topic here is some information that if consider carefully one will never be drawn into confusion again over God's place for the WTS an its members, or ex-members.

[b]Luke 18:19 Jesus asked him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one--God. [/b]

Jesus words above are the totality of all truth! Christ was not being clever, a politician's, or stating such from false humility. God's children all of them are dependent upon God's good to sustain their eternal life. Good is not a relative word like we human uses to justify, overlook the bad we all or any religion on earth does.

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

Good to God is without sin, it is his incorruptible life that all his children must be connected to, to sustain everlasting life. No other lesser gods, sub-gods, can say; there is no corruption in me I sustain eternal life, not one, but the Christ whom his Father gave the same incorruptible life to upon his resurrection. This connections is what was lost for mankind by Adam, which is the entire story of our bibles.

Romans 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

1 John 3:9 Whoever is born of God doesn't commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can't sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don't tell the truth.

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

This is the fundamental truth of all the scriptures if we move away from this simple message into another, lesser standard of good, by human standards, religion, personalities, government, commerce, in fact, anything else on this earth, but the Christ, we are on a broad and wide road leading into destruction death from sins into corruption.

Colossians 1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;

1 Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.

Such a standard is so high that to understand Christ “good” statement - the mind of this world, which is, the fleshly mind corrupted, and its wisdom, must be destroyed. Good to this world is doing a good work for others, reading the bible, being in some group helping humanity, but that is not God's standard of good Christ spoke too. His standard stops corruption from death and give a person everlasting life without corruption of sin. That standard cannot come from anything man has or has created. Our being plug-in to any lesser idol, god, man made object is death – corruption!

Hebrews 9:28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

Acts 4:12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

Jesus made it absolutely clear there is no darkness in God, there is no middle ground where evil spirits play in, not in Christ or his Father. Jesus and his Father do not mix light into darkness they do not say a word of untruth, (darkness) nor do they hand us a serpent!

Matt.5:37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

Did Christ state: “Go to a corrupt tree and find some truth?” or did Christ say a corrupt tree will not, cannot produce good fruit? Is there a middle ground of some light, and some darkness in Christ words? Did Christ say, if you look hard enough in a false prophet tree there you find my good fruit my sheep?

Matt.7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. 7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Matt.7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.

Are we mislead thinking God is good, and than evil?

We are all faced with the fundamental truth, what, or who, on earth can say that their religion does not have corrupt fruit on its tree? Who of us can say we have enough good fruit to give ourselves eternal life, or those that listening to us?

1 John 3:10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn't do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn't love his brother.

Who is righteous brothers and sisters, who always does righteousness on earth?

1 John 2:29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of him.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.

Please note if we do not come above what this world offers by its standards of good and evil we cannot know Christ or Jehovah God. We are to go up to Jehovah's mountain where Christ is seated above. Not one religion on this earth since Christ is God's good tree, not one! No person can say: “I am good, as God is good. “No religion can say I am good only.” Any one teaching less than Christ steals life from others they are a thief.

John 15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

John 15:4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

John 15:5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

James 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

Jesus stated he is the only door, he backs up his words, when saying a corrupt tree, cannot, that is, cannot, now listen, pay attention, cannot produce good fruit. Only one is good, one source of life, one good tree, not many sub-religions, or any religion, but one, God is good having the fruit of life we must seek those fruit above! Any thing less will as Christ promise will stick us with many wounds, pains, and problems, because his fruit are not found on a corrupt tree producing thorns!

But for those that are still not satisfied with the whole truth of the bible, Jesus continual and states this: “A good tree (God) cannot, cannot,, now listen carefully, cannot, produce what? Corrupt fruit!” Now his words were not negotiable, there can be no middle ground with God, it either yes or no, what is in the middle ground is from the wicked one. Religion is from the wicked one, the lurking place of the demons. Human justification for wicked fruit that there is some good on our religious tree, a fruit that helps others, such thinking makes one drunk on the wine in the harlots cup. It is a mixture of light into darkness.

James 3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

Matt.7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

That God's people are part of a corrupt trees fruits, and we must be benevolent and teach God will clean up the bad fruit for the good, God loves the corrupt tree! That God used a corrupt tree to produce good fruit! That some truth on the vine makes it the good tree of God, or at least part of Christ, having some fruit worth saving.

Matt.7:19 Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire. 7:20 Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.

No! If you believe that lie, you are deceived by corruption of your own fleshly mind. You do not have the mind of Christ, free from corruption that produce no darkness, and gives us our eternal life entrusted to him by YHWH. You have been bitten by a wicked poison serpent and your pride stops you from looking up at Christ raised on the pole by God humbling us into looking to the one source of life for us on this earth.

John 3:14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up.

Religion is either good fruit or bad, but not both at the same-time! The standard of those in Christ is being made righteous by his life, making them sinless, without corruption, not condoning sin because it does some good for others. No human institution on earth is God's chosen channel, the issue is, and always has been, being plugged into the one source of life, anything outside of that source of life is corrupting ( outside of Christ his life, in his body are fruit of life, good, without corruption). Life cannot come from a bible, it comes from above by Spirit found in the truth of Christ life in us. Called unmerited kindness, none of us our good, we are given good, by God's love, a gift. Religion is no part of that gift!

James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth. 3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed. 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 3:18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

When one puts truth into corruption it does not produce good, or pure truth that is impossible not unless we love the lie, or we choose live in the middle ground, the lie, calling that middle ground truth. One must put truth into incorruption to make it the pure truth of God.

2 Timothy 3:7 always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Thessalonians 2:10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

Ephesians 4:24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

1 Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

John 16:13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.
