In the Bible, whenever a righteous person does something improper or even commits a sin, God lets them know that they've screwed up, either directly or through a prophet.




That's not true, For example while performing many great deeds it's prety clear that Solomon and king David had many troubles and commited many sins that weren't directly dealt w/ by God.



When Solomon is rebuked by God for turning to idol worship and marrying too many wives, God doesn't come to him every time he does wrong, but instead gives him an all-encompassing rebuke.

As for David, God sends Nathan to him to inform him that he is to be punished on more than one occasion. Didn't I specify those instances? (And I did say "or through a prophet.")

Also the Scriptures say that "No one is righteous."



Is that in the New Testament? As i said, I'm not familiar with the New Testament.

Nobody is completely righteous, this is certainly true, but just because you screw up a few times doesn't bar you from being righteous. It just means you're not perfectly so.
