Also used of a battle rags of all the clotted blood soaked rags. this is what God thinks of our righteousness.

The problem with this thinking is that we have the same English word with 2 different Greek words that have different meaning. That’s why I explicitly spoke of the bema judgement. Where we receive rewards. Not the great white throne judgment (Krinos) judgement in which those judged are found...

Again, we are talking about bema judgment not the great white throne again, one has 5 works the other has 1000.

They both are based on works my friend, Paul said in 1 cor, each ones work will become clear and the first parable is about paying people who work reward are always based on works.

Did they both receive reward?

What is the same in both of those passages?

I am talking about two men who stand before God on judgment (bema) day , one man has 5 works one man had 1000 works what is the difference?

I agree on most of what you say here, I agree god could not do it because he could not die, but that is where we split Phil 2 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in...

What the difference between a believer who has 5 works and a believer who has 1000 works?

Yep and those without works are those who have no faith, a dead faith never saved anyone, as James said, can a dead faith save you? James answer is no true believers have works. Those who sin have never seen or known God.

I try not to argue either, just give my view, and see if maybe I can learn something.

Filthy rags are those who are trying to get to heaven by their works. It’s like when God asks a person why he should let them in, and they hand him their works. Of course we know Gods answer, depart for I never knew you

I think the Bible says we are saved by grace, so I agree

Amen to this, Praise God for all we have.

All is great how about yourself?

We have far to many modern day pharisees here still, they did not learn from the mistakes of the past, they still think their righteousness is pleasing, even though God calls them filthy rags, the law said perfection was required, but they somehow think they do not have to meet that requirement...
