You can't nullify scripture with scripture.There is nothing wrong with “Holy Scripture “ but The Understanding Of “The Translation” can provide a host of Translated problems generated by men and There private Hermeneutics”
Paul Did not lie
The Old Testament is about men that did not know, they may have “Prophesied” but Still The Vail was There.
And The Vail Did not Come off, not until The Manifestation of The “New Covenant” written by A very Schooled Scholar who spoke about 7-8 different Languages and was An Expert concerning The Laws of GOD a Pharisees of Pharisees, and Chosen of GOD to write The Majority of The New Testament” writings and “Peter” was Not Chosen to take on the Task, but he did write 2 short letters to “Timothy” in which he had to use a “Ammanuensis” because he might did not know how to spell or Write.
So what does Apostle Paul has To say about this matter about “Righteousness”
Did He Lie? Or did he make it so clear, that a blind man could see?
4God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.
5But if our righteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.) 6God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? 7But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? 8and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.
There is No One Righteous
(Psalm 14:1-7)
9What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;
10as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;
11There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God;
12They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one:
[all of them are a bunch of liars]
13Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:
Paul is not lying! But somebody is!
You were given scripture about good people so you can't keep saying all are evil.
So now you have to figure you were taught wrong about what Paul meant.
Let's look at what Paul said about no one righteous...
No One Is Righteous
Romans 3:9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
Paul is quoting Psalm14:1-3; 53:1-3; and Ecclesiastes 7:20. Ecclesiastes SAYS there is not a RIGHTEOUS man who does what is right and NEVER SINS. Ecclesiastes tells us that there ARE RIGHTEOUS men but none who NEVER sin. Paul is explaining that the Jews were sinners just like the Gentiles. Nowhere in these passages or scriptures anywhere does it say none can believe on their own. In this same Ecclesiastes 7, Solomon tells us about wise men, righteous men, and about a man who pleases God. Solomon also tells us that he found one upright man among a thousand. The Bible tells us that there are people who want to do right.
You have to know that there are righteous people? The Bible says so. There just was no one so righteous that they were without any sin.
