I'm not skilled at debating...but these are questions that I've asked myself and still ask. I'd love input and different views on what Chastisement is, the purpose for being chastened and why it occurs.
1. What is Chastisement?
2. If past, present and future sins are forgiven at the time that we accept Jesus as our savoir, what is the need of Chastisement?
Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Hebrews 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Hebrews 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
3. What are the standards by which we are judged and chastened? In order for us to have need of correction are there biblical standards set in place where judgment is necessary in order for there to be a need for correction in the first place?
1 Corinthians 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1 Corinthians 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
