The righteousness of Christ is imputed to us believers Because He kept the Law perfectly, He can look at us as if we did/are doing/will do the same. Jesus also said (to the Jews) that unless their righteousness exceeded that of the scribes and Pharisees, they would never enter the Kingdom of...

Well said!!

Welcome to CC, Trulyfree! As @Lynx said, it's pretty hard to get banned from here. Most of the bans I've seen during my time in these forums (since May 2015) have come as a result of people who: 1. Came in to insist that their views were the correct ones and that anyone who disagreed in any...
