No man is pure good. In fact, even Christians are pure evil according to Paul’s writings in Romans. We are all inherently born evil sinners. Even after becoming born-again through accepting Christ we all sin and fall short of the righteous perfection God demands. It’s only by His grace & Christ’s blood are we forgiven and accepted as His worthy ones.
While that's true (depravity of man, etc.), we should technically still represent "pure good".
(I put "pure good" in quotes because I can't think of a precise meaning for it, and I can't think of a single reference to it in the bible or in theological texts.)
Look above. Repeated for convenience.
Not sure how this comment relates to my comment. Do Christians not represent God? If God is good, then the statement that we represent good is true.
We represent God, though imperfectly. No one but Jesus was able to rise to the standard of sinless perfection.
I think people, esp Christians as myself, don’t rely on the word “good”. Good won’t get you into Heaven. Being a good person won’t. It requires accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. And following through with works through faith in Him. Of course good comes out of that, ideally. Just remember a Christian shouldn’t do works “for”salvation...they do works “because” of salvation. And salvation is being in a relationship with Jesus.
Preach
Please forgive me. Thought you were looking for a scriptural reference.
No worries! Just a miscommunication.
Do you know if there are any references to "pure good" though? There are quite a few using just "good," but the "pure" part was what I was hesitant about.
I don't find those words together except for in this scripture:

There are many verses that show that a pure heart is needed to recognize good, to recognize GOD.

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, I don't have a lot of time at work lol but a quick look I found this. I love searching the Word for this sort of thing 😁
James 1:27
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

No title is as vague and misused in 2022 as the word "Christian".
Christian literally means "little Christ" and is name given to those who follow the teachings of The Christ, Jesus of Nazareth.
Any other meaning is irrelevant.
The problem has always been pastors and denominations along with lazy people that don't study to confirm what they are being told from the pulpit.
Yeah but... we attend a "non-denominational church". Ok what seminary did your pastor attend? There's your denomination.
Stop relying on Pastors!! Are they working for money? They are making a huge salary?
Are they teaching you using modern NWO bibles with the false word Jew plastered all over the place and therefore teaching you that these people are God's chosen people? Are they a stand with Israel church? Are they pushing heretical baptism with water and not Baptism of God's Spirit? Get out of there!
1 Peter 5:2 “Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;”
Titus 1:7 “For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;”
Titus 1:11 “Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.”
1 Timothy 3:3 “Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;”
1 Timothy 3:8 “Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;”
STUDY
2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
You have the best teacher within you.
1 John 2:27 “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
Do not discount the vital importance of being a member of a Church and being around fellow believers as a part of the body of Christ.
Hebrews 10:25 Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
1 Corinthians 12:12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
Hebrews 13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.
The vital importance is being a member Spiritually in the body of Christ.
Every single church is going to throw some heresy at you therefore my focus in on fellow believers outside of those false denominations.
Matthew 18:20 King James Version 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
My dude you need to find a better church.
And also accept that no one is perfect. Your pastor isn't perfect and neither are you. So maybe have some grace for those in positions of spiritual leadership?
Fuck your church. They didn't stay open during the lockdowns and they all promote wokeism. Jesus was not part of any fucking church.
Jesus created the church.
If you were hurt at a church, I would like to apologize to you on their behalf. Don't let past experiences deprive you of a spiritual harbor.
"The people who are called by my name" - The Christ

GOD WINS.
Only God is pure good.
Wear the full armor, frens. You're gonna need it.
This is the reason that if you frequent any post or video online by any Christian ministry, Messianic Rabbi, Theology Professor, or some random family Bible study channel or whatever, there are always massive amounts of shills trolling over various controversial theological issues and insinuating that whoever doesn't agree with their stance on that issue is a false teacher and servant of Satan. Along with entire channels of "Christian" content that seem devoted to finger-pointing at each other.
Denominations are no longer a successful method to keeping us divided, so they have teams devoted daily to trying to prevent us from unifying online. I swear if you just read the comments below almost any church video with a suspicious eye, you'll see the cabal and the glowies are just as hard at work there as they are here.
I don't interpret his usage of the word pure to describe the character of the individuals in the group, but instead pure in the sense of the group being "entirely made up" of Christians - in the same sense that one may say "pure salt" refers to the salt being uncontaminated by other things being among it
Absolutely....
You don’t need any cabal to separate Christians, they do that themselves.
Endless debates, bible verse against bible verse, true Christian, false Christian, etc.
If you want an example, go to a Christian forum and ask —> Salvation through faith alone OR by faith through works? Good luck.
True, but Jesus warned us there would be infiltrators and wolves that would try to enter the Church. Even said the enemy would sow tares among the wheat. Peter, Paul and John warned of false Christians, and how to 'inspect the fruit' of those who claim to be Christians.
Don’t be divided based on purity tests. Let the other side do that.
I love this point that we can unify worldwide now.
Jesus died for our sins. We don't have to be perfect, just try to do God's will. And God wins.
👍👌🙏
And only through accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Believing in Him who He had sent. Then we win too.
We do, yes. As long as we spread the good Word that our God is a loving God and His son died for our sins. I disagree with a lot of organized religion when they start talking about lakes of fire to throw people into for this that and the other. We want people to come to God and His love, not be scared away.
Duped by the same evil fucks you think you're fighting.. Surprise, they created and control religion, and its narratives, too as a means to slowing you down and preventing you from really waking up.
Religion can be beneficial, especially if one developed sincerity, focus, and discipline - but what religion also does effectively is prevent exploring..
Remember, "You can do all things through Christ" ...including breaking free from the social order of man-made restrictions.
Being a Christian -- means a believer having accepted Jesus as their Savior, who bore the weight of our sins and was sacrificed on the torture stick so that we might have a chance to live ever after. Jesus says only through Him do we reach the Father. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus is the Light of the World. His light directs us to follow Him. Jesus is the Gate for the Sheep. There is no other way. It's a simple of a premise as that.
There seems to be a growing acceptance that Christianity is Xtianity and all flavors of hedonism and debachery is acceptable.
👍👌
His point is NOT that WE are pure good. We imperfectly represent God, who is pure good. But that is NOT the point, it is that we Christians, who have been divided, have found a forum where we can communicate and act together as one. As Jesus said, "Every kingdom divided against itself becomes desolate, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand."
They want to keep us divided, but Jesus' last recorded prayer before going to the cross was that we would be one, that the world would believe (Jn. 17:21).
People don't know anything about the truth of real Christianity. They think the bible is accurate and have superficial knowledge from mainstream sources. Why would the most popular book on the planet not be designed to support the cabal?
