Constantly? I only found one use of the phrase "hope of glory", and it was in Col 1:27..."To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" Christ is my hope of glory.

I am glad I never got involved with any of those things.

I'll believe what the apostle Peter said about it in Acts 2:38..."Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." You must not have been thinking of how Jesus purges our...

It was a simple enough question for you. It truly wasn't anything I have studied, but my own judgement happened at my death with Christ. There will, however, be a final judgement too.

OK. I am glad I have the faith to believe, and take part in the things that require faith to experience.

I don't agree. It is written..."Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after." (1 Tim 5:24) Believers have already been judged, and paid the wages of their sin. So "bema" is just a fancy word for judgement seat. How many judgements do you figure...

Why did you insert the word "church" where Paul referred to the works of the Law? It was the "works" of circumcision, dietary rules, feast keeping, tithing, and Sabbath keeping, etc. that Paul referred to as "works".

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." I don't see any reference to a "Bema" in that verse. It is also clear from the verse that both good and bad people are...

Was the US highway system made for all the people to use? In the same way, Jesus blood was shed for all the people. Just because some don't use it doesn't make the road, or blood, disappear. They never repented of sin, and got water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of...

Amen to that, and as Jesus' words concerning loving God above all else and loving our neighbors as we love ourself encompassed the original ten, we are both on the right track. Is there a day that is not the Lord's? No thanks. I agree, but the vessel we do have is sanctified for the...

What I "claim" is that I have not broken either of the commandments of Christ Jesus. Those being Love God with all your might, and love your neighbor as you love yourself. Yes, as everyday is the Lord's day and I remain holy everyday, instead of just one out of seven. I just did "admit" I keep...

Can you show the scriptures that refer to a Bema seat?

Maybe if you cozy up to the Russians you will get those rights you so earnestly deserve? Tell them the nazi's at the boat store won't give you credit.

Didn't Jesus die to take away the sins of the world? It is written..."And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." (1 John 2:2) It is such a shame that some folks want to keep living in their sins, instead of submitting to God. Who...

If your repentance form sin was a lie to God you will continue to sin. If your repentance from sin, (turn from sin), was real, you won't sin anymore. You are misreading it. No, as my repentance from sin was real. Yes., thanks be to God. In all things relating to obedience to God. Our bodies...

Nope, that hope is still in my future, but my new mind runs the ship now, thanks be to God. The old fleshly based mind was killed with Christ at my baptism into Him and into His death and burial. Now I walk in the scriptural newness of life. Amen to His rules. The skin and bones are subject to...

Do you think that if I used the user name "String-bean" it would offend the hungry?

You can save on tooth paste too!

We can't blame our arms, legs, and pancreas for what the fleshly based mind is compelled to seek/do/commit. Thank God we get a divine mind/nature at our rebirth. The skin and bones are just the carrying case.

What kind of sin can your fingernails commit? How about your hair? Skin and bones are just the vessel the mind commands. I rejoice in the knowledge that as a reborn person, all the old me has passed away and been made new. (2 Cor 5:17) Skin and bones are not even under consideration. It is the...
