It is not clear what you intended by this post. But the "Hell no!" folks quote it out-of-context claiming it means all mankind will be saved, no matter what. But nothing could be further from the truth.If any man build upon the foundation wood, hay, stubble, every man's work shall be made manifest: for the Day shall declare it (this Day arrived, the seventh and last Day, seventh and last millennium), because it shall be revealed by FIRE; and the FIRE shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 1 Corinthians 3:v.11-12KJV - Biblegateway - The Word is GOD, understand?
There is not only smoke, but also a horrible smell.
THE WORD IS GOD
1 Corinthians 3:9-17
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
These verses clearly show that Paul is not talking to/about all mankind but only to “laborers together with God,””God's husbandry,””God's building” “who build on the foundation of Christ” vss, 9-12.9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
Paul mentions this foundation three times. Vs. 11 excludes any work not on the foundation of Christ.
The phrases “every man,””no man,””any man,” throughout this passage refer to the group in vss. 9-10, NOT all mankind.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon [the foundation of Christ vs. 12], he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
The work mentioned in these these vss. is NOT the ordinary mundane works of all mankind but the work of building on the foundation of Christ. Man is NOT saved by works.12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon [the foundation of Christ vs. 12], he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
And vs. 15 does not say anyone is saved by fire. It says, “Yet so as by fire.”
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Vs. 17 clearly refutes UR in this passage. All mankind is not saved, those who defile the temple will be destroyed, not saved.17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
This passage is NOT speaking about all mankind no matter how UR-ites try to twist it.
Nowhere is it written that anyone is saved by fire or that the loss of ordinary, mundane works of unsaved mankind will save anyone.
