    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    The judgment seat of Christ is not called a “throne" in the same sense as the great white throne in Revelation. Where in Scripture is the JSC ever called a 'throne'? It's defined as a "step" the foot set on a throne. Throne is defined "a stately seat" of power or potentate. The great white...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Doesn't Scripture indicate the sheep were already the sheep before the coming of the Lord? They aren't called to the GWTJ to be judged, as the goats are. No, the sheep are gathered before His throne of glory to hear the King say "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    What differentiates the JSC from the GWTJ is the JSC is judgment to repentance, but with the GWTJ there will be no call to repent, it shall be eternal judgment of the DEAD, who in life never repented, turning to Christ that they would not come into condemnation at the GWTJ.

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Why would Paul write of the first coming of the Lord say, "until/unto the coming of the Lord"? Christ's first coming was in the flesh, when He came to make atonement for sin, and defeat death and Satan. Since the first coming of the Lord is past, now we are waiting for Christ to come the...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Believers are caught up to meet the Lord in the air when the Lord returns the second time at the sign of His coming when He shall send His angels to gather together His elect. Hebrews 9:27-28 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Aren't men being judged righteous in this life that at the end of this age we are not judged with the unrighteous? If Christ is not judging man in this life according to His righteousness, why is man chastened in this life? Isn't being chastened by God being judged by Him? If we are being...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    The judgment seat of Christ unlike the GWTJ is not eternal judgment. The JSC is for the righteous not for the wicked. When believers stand, which is to bow our knees before Christ, giving ourselves up to Him, allowing Christ, through His Spirit in us to build up His body; the Church, that she...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    The Bible shows us when Christ came to earth, the time had come for judgment to first begin at the house of God, the church. 1 Peter 4:17-19 (KJV) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the...

    Acts 2:38 applies today but not 44 &45

    Good point! A few verses come to mind. Luke 6:38 – “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Galatians 6:9 – “Let us not become weary in doing...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Believers are judged according to our deeds while clothed in our bodies of mortal flesh. I believe this is how believers stand before the judgment seat of Christ in this present age. In this life we receive blessings (rewards, as many) from the Lord for our faithfulness to do good according to...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    I would say all of the above. We (believers) are the Church of the Living God throughout all ages!

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    You don't believe the New Covenant according to promise was ordained from before the foundation of the earth and includes the sons of God of faith from the Old Covenant body? That is the remnant according to election of grace. Are saints of old not sons of God because they were not called...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    Greetings Peter, I believe the context shows us the Apostle is speaking to the church, encouraging believers not to judge brothers weak in faith according to things done in the flesh, for none of WE (believers) are exempt from the judgment seat of Christ for the things done in the flesh in...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Because Scripture tells us the angels of God are His ministering spirits sent to minister to heirs of salvation. And it also tells us that Satan was never an angel of God who disobeyed God and became Satan. Because we read that at the beginning of creation Satan is a liar and murderer. No...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Prove what you allege with the Word of God because your opinions mean nothing! Again, all air with no substance! It's not I saying God takes credit for creating evil. I simply quote the words spoken by God's prophet Isaiah as well as other prophets of God. No matter how many verses shown...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    What is your understanding between the judgment seat of Christ, and the great white throne judgment? Do you believe they are one and the same judgment that shall be after Christ returns again? And if yes can you show from the Bible they are one and the same judgment that shall be after the...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    You fight against the Word of God! Since I've already given ample verses that speak of God using darkness and evil to accomplish whatsoever He desires, how many verses will it take to stop you from spinning them to fit your unbiblical doctrines? The verse shows us that all things prosperous...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    For one who says you have no dog in this fight, you're certainly dogmatic in saying of "morning stars" "(these are the angels)"! "So the angels (not human beings, none of whom had been created yet) pre-existed the universe, else they couldn't have shouted for joy..." Man was not yet physically...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Genesis 1:2 (KJV) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Isaiah 45:7 (KJV) I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Jeremiah...
