Judgment

[Kansasdad]

Please Lord forgive this stupid human for he can only understand your message from the perspective of the flesh and not the perspective of the spirit.

Kansasdad, you like repeating yourself don't you? I've noticed you're juggling several topic, in several forum...all basically regarding the same issue.

Anywho, I'll just repeat what I stated in the other thread. Romans 8:1 teaches us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Numerous verses in Psalms, Hebrews and 1 John further teach us that once God forgive us...He remembers them no more, He casts them as far as the east if from the west, He is faithful to forgive us. Therefore, we can only conclude that when believers face the judgment throne it is NOT so that we will face condemnation or punishment for our deeds/sins. According to the many verses listed in this topic, it is so that God can reward us for our lives of faith. We we will be judged so that He can reward us...not so that He can punish us.

Sorry, sometimes I just get these thoughts that come from left field.  The stupid person is me.  Something in all the post led me to that question, and I know God is just shaking his head, but smiling.

You mean you can't read my mind and jump from one thought to another Just because I did.  Hmmmmmm what a revelation.

Thanks Sue for bringing me back.

God Bless

Kansas Dad,

You are so welcome!! My husband is like that. He thinks half of the conversation in his head and then says the other half out loud as though I was listening to what was going on in his brain. Sometimes I am able to translate, but other times I just have to say "what are you talking about?"

NO Tess actually I don't!  And please I have asked you not to throw in your personal jabs.  I think as one of the moderators this is especially important for you not to do.

NO Tess as I stated I do not want this to go into the OSAS debate. Like a different moderator stated lets not turn this into a debate.

We are talking about rewards, and punishments. Some rewards and punishments are about the here and now some are about the here after. So far we have just been sharing our thoughts and ideas about this. Some have shared some verses that speak to them and we have looked at the verse and what it means. So if you have thoughts, ideas, and verses that speak about rewards, and punishments then please share, BUT I WILL NOT DEBATE YOU ON THIS IN THIS THREAD.

To be quite honest Tess I always get the feeling that you are being condescending when you post. By contrast ErickH has views different than mine and has shared his views with me several times but I don't get that condescending "read" from his post. I know this may be totally off base but it is how your post have come across to me. So please Tess, don't try to win me over, don't try to teach me, don't try to educate me. Just share your insights, and thoughts.

Thank You

Kansas Dad
