Revelation 20 is concerning the great white throne judgment. That is a different judgment than the judgment seat of Christ for believers.
That's okay, at least I provide Scriptural support, nobody's perfect.
Your art is fine, and I like the one included with this post, but consider not repeating the same huge picture in every post on a page. [Less is more :]
Very good.
Then there are those who appear before the Bema "judgement" seat of God. Those are the believers who will be judged according to their behaviors, works, in Christ and rewarded accordingly.
Well, I thought you got a little carried away on p. 4 of Faith, but is it my imagination or have you somehow changed most of your previous art postings to the current one? (Maybe I was subconsciously noticing/missing the pretty gals?
Anyway, I was just trying to point out that sometimes less is more, so copying only the relevant parts of a passage can be appropriate.
I I just went to the page that you brought my attention to and I did not post any of my panels more than once on that page... So I'm not sure what you're talking about and besides, nobody can edit a post after the 5 minute window has closed so I can't go back and change posts willy-nilly like you seem to be suggesting.Well, I thought you got a little carried away on p. 4 of Faith, but is it my imagination or have you somehow changed most of your previous art postings to the current one?

I am not sure where we were either, but what I meant was that Christians are permitted to eat from the tree of life and live forever in garden of heaven. (RV 22:2, 14 & 19)
Okay, I am semi-senile, although I seem to remember a better example, but it does not matter as long as you get my point regarding shortening long passages in order to focus on the pertinent part. My apologies.
Believe me I make an effort to keep the text as short as possible on the panels because otherwise I know it's just too much ... but I can't go back and start editing every panel that is already made just so that it has only the pertinent part that may be relevant to the discussion at hand ... and if it has any of that it's going to be posted as is.
Okay, I was merely trying to justify in my unusual and ungainly way the way I shorten the citation, but now I am wondering if by citation your are referring to the passage or only to my abbreviations of the Bible books? (Communicating completely, concisely and clearly is such a challenge!)
Ok, so we do make choices on our own that determine rewards. Now we’re getting somewhere.
My my apologies if I wasn't clear in talking about your acronyms and how you shorten the verse citation names and me calling them ungainly ... because it is unusual ... I have never seen them represented the way you do and it takes some effort to figure out what you are actually referring to when you just give a citation and not the actual verse... Which you do often.
Also there was a case recently where I posted two panels fairly close together that had to do with the same idea of people seeking God and finding Him... I believe one had verses 26 and 27 on them in one went from 27 to 29 out of the book of Acts ... I'm not sure which chapter it was.
Hopefully you will get used to my abbreviations and acronyms, because I may not be able to change those habits easily.
Not sure, but I think those verses in ACTS were from chapter 28.
The two verses I skipped further made my point, because they show that the verse 24 you ignore is warning those with us against also going out from us.
It's a matter of conscious communion with Holy Spirit that indwells the Christian. God sets those steps.Ok, so we do make choices on our own that determine rewards. Now we’re getting somewhere.
