“Justice is uprightness rectitude-of-will kept for its own sake.” [St. Anselm, On Truth, 12], i.e. being right with God, righteousness. Continuing Anselm said, “Justice is not rightness of knowledge or rightness of action but is rightness of will.” [St. Anselm, On Truth, 12].
We are justified in Baptism where we begin a process of perfection to a state of being right-with-God, [Cf. Matthew 5:48]. Likewise sanctification and righteousness. Consequently, one can rightly interchange justification, sanctification and righteousness where we read the word Greek word "dikaioō". Being justified is the state of righteousness, and one is not righteous unless sanctified. In the protest bible the word dikaioō is more often translated as "righteous" to avoid viewing justice as a virtue in progress.
So its the righteousness of your will?
We've been here before. Heres my verse;
More RC verbiage which actually says nothing at all and clearly does not answer the question. By the way is that how RCs justify sin, my will didn't want to sin, so everything is fine. Don't look over here.
Water justifies no one. The Jewish people regularly had mitveh for cleansing.
No one that enters heaven is unclean. Christ commands Baptism as the Sacrament of cleansing, justification [Cf. John 3:5]. The sacrament itself is the outward sign of an inward grace, being made right with God (righteousness). It is not coincidental that you should bring up Mitveh, the cleansing was used for converts to enter the kingdom of Israel. Likewise Baptism is the doorway to enter of God's Kingdom, the Catholic Church.
Oh showing a little knowledge of mikveh but not complete knowledge. Baptism is not the doorway to enter God's kingdom that is a false claim. Jesus is the door according to scripture. No Jesus doesn't command baptism as a sacrament of cleansing, justification. Yep no understanding of that verse at all by you.
Why, yes Jesus is the doorway to enter the Body of Christ. the Catholic Church, not the body of deformation.
Your institution is deformed by sin, it leads you nowhere, it follows the Roman Emperors as shown by its fruit. So not it has nothing to do with leading a person to Jesus and has nothing to do with Jesus.
Easy--have faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and God and Savior, and trust in Him only for salvation, great and free.
Jesus is the doorway to the true church and salvation. Yours stopped being the true church centuries ago, when it started teaching false doctrines.
The uprightness of the will is or rectitude of the will, moral correctness in thought and deed.
He IS NOT the Doorway to the rcc.
Something many of your popes never had.
That sounds like word salad to me. Yes or no, its your righteousness?
