self righteousness vs. true born again Holy Spirit living.

I think that you should look at the fact that Jesus had NOT yet been crucified so as of yet, there was no salvation and that this was a parable spoken by Jesus himself. Also, the illustration shows that this parable is speaking about those who think they know God, but do not, and if there are two who do not truly know God, the one who at least can see his own sin is the one who is much better off that the one who only sees the sins of another.

Hello 116 and thank you for your reply.  i agree with your every word and i understood all of this perfectly before i made my post. 

None of this changes the fact that vektek was trying to make me out to be like the pharisee because i know that i do live holy unto my Lord through the born again strength of His Spirit and i don't apologize for it.  She confuses the true holiness that the Lord Jesus has called His true disciples to live in, as led every second by His holy Spirit, immediately rejecting every thought that is not pleasing to Him...  with the false hard hearted compassionless self righteousness of the pharisee.  Many blessings to you in the precious name of the Lord Jesus.
