therein lies the value of walking out your front door, broke imo
What I heard is that they do get their judgement -- find out that God exists --- and then, poof!People who are already dead require no further judgment. All that is needed is for someone to throw the dirt over their faces when their time to walk around in death is finished. They had hope until they ran out of time.
Ye and even atheists and muslims often do better works than christians.But Krishna taught the same concept and he wasn't Christian!
That wasn't my point I'm sure.Ye and even atheists and muslims often do better works than christians.
good point--we envision a literal, possibly mass judgement, when judgement likely occurs in the nowPeople who are already dead require no further judgment.
little children, do not be deceived...Ye and even atheists and muslims often do better works than christians.
That wasn't my point I'm sure.
Even though you didn't post my entire statement, as usual here, so how can I even remember what I said.
i would say "go, Krishna!" but it would surely be misunderstood--but at least then we would see who has the letter of the law i guess. So, ya--go, KrishnaThis is good Job.

Any other thoughts?

Krishna was a light.i would say "go, Krishna!" but it would surely be misunderstood--but at least then we would see who has the letter of the law i guess. So, ya--go, Krishna
27A man who is physically uncircumcised, but who fulfills the law, will judge you who are a lawbreaker in spite of having the letter of the law and circumcision.
not to dispute that, butWhat about Hebrews 9:27?
It is appointed for man to die ONCE, and THEN comes the judgement...
does seem like, yaKrishna was a light.
hmm. i have quoted the eye is the lamp of the body a few times recently i guess, yaAre you the one who Always quotes about the eye being light or dark?
ah, what gate?I'm more than certain that some Krishna believers will get into that gate before some Christians will.
= imoSome believe this to mean unsaved persons --- I believe it means persons who think they are saved but are not following Christ.
I read Hebrews 9:27-28 in 3 different bibles; one Italian and the YLT.not to dispute that, but
27And just as it is appointed for people to die once — and after this, judgment —
28so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.
is possibly using a play on words to get a different point across; unless you believe that Christ needs to literally appear again, to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him. Iow is it finished, or not?
What gate?does seem like, ya

= imo
but as you have noted, it might be the parenthesis that matters?I understand this to mean that a person physically dies once. He is judged immediately (and is really already judged before Death) and who is saved will be in the presence of God.
which is not to be taken literally either, even if it is a completely true and real thing that happens to a precious few.Jesus appearing again refers to His second coming,
millions of Hebrews walked under the door sprinkled with blood and left Egypt Free Men; but only two made it to the Promised Land, right. Meaning that the rest did not follow, which is all they would have needed to do, but they did not. Jesus saved them, too, see, but it did not avail them anyYes. IT IS FINISHED. Jesus COMPLETED His task.
lol--but you cannot state a single absolute truth from Scripture, that cannot be Scripturally contested; so i suggest that riddles are the best way to approach truth, even though i am not doing that on purpose anywayAnd don't speak in riddles!
hilarious to me, the stuff we make up, because there is no Scriptural analogue lol.What gate?
THE GATE!!!
You know, the one where St. Peter is waiting!
a different concept though right, we call those gates by various terms, those are not the Pearly Gates semantically speakingYes. Some who think they are getting into the narrow gate, will not get in.
And some who think they are NOT getting into the narrow gate, will get in.
What I heard is that they do get their judgement -- find out that God exists --- and then, poof!
(who can know for sure???)
see, all that happens in real-time, right"The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish." Psalm 1:4-6
