ReedActs@aol.com quoting Tim:

>Tim:
>Righteous is never imputed to anyone.  ;-)

To which ReedActs@aol.com replied:
>Rom 4:11
>11      And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the
righteousness of
>the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father
of
>all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; *that righteousness

>(KJV)

Me:
To which *I* reply, "Lighten up."  ;-) *I* myself said that righteousness
was imputed through faith and ACTIONS of salvation.  I wrote that in the
morning on my way out to work and it SHOULD have read: "*Jesus'*
righteousness is never imputed to anyone."

Besides, you took your quote from the middle of the passage:  The beginning
and the end QAUALIFY the middle in this manner => Righteousness is imputed
to the unrighteous by the Grace of God BECUASE of thier faith that causes
them to obey unto salvation.

This scripture was about Abraham, but if you look a few more verses, we
see that it is for us also. So please allow me to quote them.

Rom 4:23-24
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to
him;
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him
that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
(KJV)

Me:
Amen.  This applies to everyone who through faith DOES that which is
required by God.

Luke 6:26
