Hello all. My question tonite is, i think, going to be lopsided on here, but still, im curious.
do you view Jesus as Saviour? Or Judge?
i’ll go first. I see Jesus as Judge. Do i think He is the Saviour of mankind? Yes, for His elect. When i say i see Him as Judge, it is meant for The unsaved. If we are not saved, then He wont grant us forgiveness.
this is now where belief vs faith comes in. I think the term “unsaved” covers a lot of different people; false converts, atheists, non christians, etc. i think the unsaved may or may not have belief, but the one thing that connects them all is no faith. James tells us that even demons believe in God, but they lack faith.
