In response to An Indictment posted by BrianTubbs:
.
Righteousness refers to an absolute holy standing before God. A person who is righteous is "right" before God. Paul is saying that there is NO ONE who is righteous - not a single living human being. No one.
.
Confused. Your reference to Romans 3:10 above: If Paul is correct that "There is no one righteous, not even one;", doesn't this mean that all the Bible characters -- Abraham, Moses, Joseph, John the Baptist, Simeon, Cornelius, etc. (who were purported to be 'righteous' and 'holy' before God) -- were ~not~ righteous?
.
It blows 'organized religion' out of the water IF organized religion sets itself up as the arbiter of who is 'righteous' and who isn't.
.
Which 'organized religion' doesn't do that?
