Right, he like many others think they've done good, having covered all their religious bases
by their own believing, receiving, repenting, calling, obeying, etc.
But they can't comprehend the fact that the natural man [not Born of the Spirit] cannot please God Rom. 8:8; Is. 64:6!
1 Cor. 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
Amazing, you condemn yourself with scripture.
