You simply won’t get a reward for ‘bad labour’. Again, you can’t “lose” what you haven’t received. These two verses are in the same judgment context. There will be no opportunity for your work, having been rewarded in verse 14, to become worthy of burning in verse 15. Your work either abides or...

We cannot lose something we never had. We won't receive rewards and then lose them. We will give an account for all that we do. Period. We will not give an account for rewards we receive or don't receive. That would be silly. Any rewards would be given after the accounting.

None of that suggests that we will "give an account for rewards or lack of rewards." We will be rewarded (or not) depending on our works, and we will answer for all that we do, but we will not answer for rewards or lack thereof. As one who often argues about the importance of the words used in...

Chapter and verse, please.

Normally I say ‘Welcome’ to newcomers, but I really think “ Don’t let the door hit you as you leave” is more appropriate in this case.

I started playing both almost 40 years ago. My proficiency in each is something far south of what 40 years of experience might suggest. ;)

Agreed... it's right up there with "vegetable" oil. I am thankful that I'm busy every October 31st with a volunteer activity and can ignore most of the lunacy that evening. :cool:

Irrelevant to the context, but thanks for explaining.

The senior pastor is wrong. The young man was an elder whose job was preaching and teaching. There couldn't be a more specific fulfillment of verse 17. The senior pastor clearly is making up his own irrelevant interpretation to avoid dealing properly with the situation. As you say, "We've...

I'm not sure what you mean. There are translations that don't use "god" or "lord" but instead use "YHVH", "Adonai" and other original-language terms.

I see a connection between this and Jesus' explanation of the parable of the weeds in Matthew 13:36-43: 36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.” 37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed...

Your arrogance is laughably inappropriate.

That's another unwarranted assumption. Use of the term "HaShem" could suggest that he uses a translation that preserves the Hebrew terms for God (over generic English terms), or perhaps that he respects those who prefer not to use the divine Name (lest they misuse it).

My concern is for people who refuse to acknowledge their sin despite being chastised for it.

It's so easy to point at the sins of others while vigorously denying one's own sins.

You can't handle being treated the way you treat others. The "scriptural arguments" twaddle is just your passive-aggressive attempt to deflect. You're arrogant and self-righteous. One by one, we are seeing your bad character on display and choosing not to bother with you. You can't insult your...

The meme didn’t mention you. You assumed it was meant for you. You even posted an ‘x’ saying you disagree with it. Perhaps you think people shouldn’t watch out for those who teach deadly doctrines. For that, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Turnaround is fair play. You get what you give. Suck it up, buttercup.

Do you feel better now?

If your faith is weak and pathetic, it obviously is not the gift of God.
