Re: its a question of righteousness

I'll take a stab at it real quick, even though I know this question if dealt with right, should probably require a very lengthy discussion and study.

2 Corinthians 5:21

21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.


A key part to this verse I believe is "in him". "In him" we are righteous. Not "in him" we are unrighteous.
