:lol: OK
I can see why you would not easily let go of something that so obviously is the fruit of much effort.
So i will let you be logabe. :lol:
I don't where you're getting that crazy stuff from, but it is not God's Word.
The "queen of the south" Christ Jesus was referencing was about the Queen of Sheba who visited Solomon because of what she heard.
Luke 11:31
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
(KJV)
IKing 10:1
1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
(KJV)
Logabe said: We are to tell the world that God is "not imputing their trespasses unto them." End Quote
19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling THE WORLD unto
Himself, not imputing THEIR trespasses unto THEM; and has
committed unto US the word of reconciliation.
I think that was Paul that said that… I just believe what he said.
Do you?

The idea that the world is forgiven apart from confession I do not find in the Bible. For that would disagree with what Paul said, Colossians 2:13 “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;”
That being dead in our sins and our trespasses applies to the whole world until they confess.
Romans 3:19 “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”
John 8:24 “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”
So what we need to tell the world is that they will die in their sins if they do not confess them to Christ.
I see that first part of 1 John 1:8-10, “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us”, as simply telling us that we need to be honest to begin with about ourselves so that we are willing to make confession. That is why it continues, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
This part, “If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives”, is simply telling us that if we are not honest enough to do that first part (acknowledge our sin and confess it) we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.
We are however told at 2 Peter 1:9 that the ransom applies to past sins, but is that with regard to not needing confession? No. This refers to those who have confessed but have then forgotten all about why they confessed. They have returned to their old ways after confession.
When Christ was speaking about the Queen of the South he was talking about the the last days of the end times. You have to understand the day of the judgement that is upon the nations.
RISE UP is the clue that he was giving you because it is to do with the true prophet that was promised to Moses. The one that the Jewish Rabbi's knew would have the skin disease like Moses. The skin disease was a sign of the Messiah.
Jesus Christ even said her name in Aramaic when he was healing the child.
