God as in G-d is g--d! Just fill in the "o"'s...

God Himself will be the light of it..and we all know He has no end. So then the future galaxy we will inhabit will never age...since it is eternal. The rest of the universe...not so much? I think the seas are just seas...strangely enough! ;)

Works in and out of the gospel? We will be judged..we Christians...by our works. This is called the BEMA judgment seat of Christ. Where every WORK will be evaluated....which includes our words. 2 Cor. 5:9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10...

Bad doctrine leads to bad character and behaviour. Bad doctrine isn't true or real....so there is nothing there to burn. It is the effects that bad doctrines have that are the problem. Paul is speaking of works of iniquity. As in...filthy garments. We have to keep our garments clean or else we...

In a beginning? בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים There is no definite article that would read "the" for beginning. But there may be other reasons.... The way the Hebrew is laid out it can mean..."Creating, God created" IOW the same way that the bible uses emphatic speech...as in, verily verily...

Iniquity is a special kind of sin...a sin committed by believers who mix in flesh with the Spirit. Jesus covers this sin, yes...IF it is repented of. We soil our holy garments with the flesh...so that they become filthy. Baby Christians do this unwittingly...but one must "grow out" of doing so...

Faith in Jesus causes us to enter the kingdom...so then the kingdom was where Jesus walked. But we must understand this as a spiritual hidden thing...although it's power is felt on Earth. It is like the wind which is invisible yet we see it's effects. The kingdom of God is the realm where love...

We are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness which is found there. Are we first to seek believers? Not really. The kingdom of God is where the life of Jesus is made available to us...in the Spirit. It is Zion. it is a spiritual realm where the devil and his minions are displaced.

"I'm not discussing the Berma Seat of Christ. I'm not discussing 2 Timothy 2:20 and 21." You aren't seeing that the word interprets the word. Indeed the bible interprets itself. You need to look at other verses to get the whole meaning. So then if you are not sure about the Bema seat judgment...

Who will be blotted out of the book of life? Those who judge others or refuse to forgive after they themselves have been forgiven. Those who hold others to a higher standard than themselves. Those who exaggerate their claims to knowledge of God.

"GodsGrace, post: 432576, member: 7593"]Verse 13 is referring to the workers in verse 5 and 6...Paul and Apollo. It's referring to those who build upon what Paul and Apollo began...and what did they begin? They laid the foundation which is Christ. verse 10 And ANOTHER is building upon it...

Since you said that the kingdom was something the sects sought after. But actually the kingdom of God is in the spiritual realm. A person who is not spiritually aware cannot see it.

That is what I'm referring to. There was a false teaching about this circulating around that sought to take away responsibility for edification away from believers and make it exclusively the responsibility of workers. But that is not the truth. WE are entirely responsible for what we choose...

Do you know what the kingdom of God is?

="GodsGrace, post: 432555, member: 7593"]Hi E A dead work is really not how you explained it above. Hebrews is a letter that was written to the Jews of Jesus's time. Dead works are works of the Law...works done under the Law and not under grace. Works of the law are things like circumcision...

The gospel is about the kingdom of God. THAT is the truth. No one who walks in the power of a human being can satisfy God.

I hope you aren't doing that "ministry" thing whereby Paul's ministry is being judged...rather than what everyone is doing. That is so blatantly false. Just compare with 2 Tim. 2. Every man...

So then imagine just how far off Christians are by not doing so. All sects are based on something that is missing...and true. But then what is the definition of a sect? Any given sect mixes truth with lies. Discernment is to be able to tell the difference. There is no sect that is 100% false.

A life that has penetrated into the kingdom of God. An entrance into Eden....fellowship with God. That is what the gospel is about.

Look at verse 12 above. For the master's use...every GOOD work. So then the corrolary to good works are dead works...or ,works of the flesh. There are many other references... like.. Heb. 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot...
