Are you even trying to understand my points? It seems like you are giving ZERO effort to understand them. Of course I believe that the repentant thief on the cross, along with all dead believers, are with Jesus in paradise. How does that equate to them standing before Christ on His judgment seat giving an account of themselves? Jesus said that will happen at His second coming with His angels, which has not yet occurred (Matthew 25:31-46).
Scripturally and spiritually, there is no doubt that all who are "
under the altar" of the OC., who were of faith in "the Promise to come" ARE REMEMBERED by God.
Please tell us WHEN and HOW
that judgment took place, that the thief and all the faithful
under the OC were granted the privilege and
the ability to be WITH Jesus in paradise right now.
The judgment seat of Christ and great white throne judgment are the same.
They are not the same, and neither one are a physical event as church-ianity likes to promote it. Both events are to be understood figuratively.
The Judgment seat of Christ is for the Gift of God's salvation to ALL who willingly repent towards God and come to Him through faith in Jesus. For all that do,
their names are written/recorded/sealed in the Book of Life who is Jesus, and therefore they are Remembered by God.
The Great White Throne judgment is for ALL who never appeared before the judgment Seat of Christ and therefore are
"condemned already" without explanation (John 3:18). God has no Remembrance of them because their names are not recorded/written in the Book of Life who is Jesus.
He NEVER knew them, or who they ever were!!
Mat. 7
22 Many will say to me in that day
[of 24 hours], Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
[They were never born again of the Holy Spirit]
How can you be an amillennialists and not understand these things? How can you say what you're saying here when scripture clearly indicates that all of the dead will be resurrected (John 5:28-29)? That's talking about the resurrection of their bodies. Hello? After the dead are resurrected when Jesus returns, then all people will stand before Him to give an account of themselves. Where does scripture teach that this has already happened? Nowhere.
I am an Amillenialist in the Spirit of the word, NOT by the letter of the word, through some church doctrine.
1 Cor. ch. 2
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak,
not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Noah and Lot will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account of themselves along with all other people who ever have lived when Jesus returns. That's what Matthew 25:31-46 is about. At that point they, along with all believers, will inherit eternal life with immortal bodies in the kingdom prepared for us from the foundation of the world.
Do you not know that all of such as the above, are ASLEEP IN/WITH JESUS? ?
When and
what was it, that was
given to them to make it
a reality that they are asleep (sealed) in Jesus (paradise)? Please see Rev. 6:9-11.
What in the world are you talking about here? This is a complete waste of time. Don't bother responding. I'm done with your nonsense.
Daily, God's prophetic words are unfolding about that which once was concealed, but has been slowly revealed, ever since Pentecost.
Church doctrines are cast in the cement of man's words, forbidding God's prophetic words to unfold and be told.
