The "Bema (judgement) Seat of Christ" - is this orthodox Christianity?

[Steeno7]

What conclusion do you make from this statement?

"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 already stated that quite awhile back. I have no excuses. There are none to be had.



The point is Mr. Steeno, that it will happen, details notwithstanding.

There are many supplemental scriptures to these matters.

Matthew 25 sheep/goats is an example.

Entrance through the strait gate in Luke 13 is an example.

Matthew 7 is an example.

"For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

There are many others. These are not matters so easily brushed aside with the broad stroke of Grace be upon it all because that is NOT going to happen.

And you continue to mix together what doesn't go together. The Christians sins have all already been judged, the verdict was guilty, the sentence was death, and Christ Jesus took all of the sentence upon Himself. There is none left for us. In legal terms, what you present would be double jeopardy, being prosecuted twice for the same thing. But, like I said the Bema Seat isn't a trial, it's an awards ceremony for those who have successfully completed the race.

And you continue to mix together what doesn't go together.

And you keep bypassing Paul's statements in 2 Cor. 5.

Why is that?

The Christians sins have all already been judged, the verdict was guilty, the sentence was death, and Christ Jesus took all of the sentence upon Himself.

That is the fairy tale version. There is quite a bit more to this subject.

In your version there is no accounting for the BAD but Paul says there WILL be an accounting, not that there has been.

There is none left for us.

Yes, there is, as previously noted from many citings and directions.

There is required loss to be suffered for the bad. Call it what you will.

The entirety of what any of us currently consist of will not go dancing past the pearlies.

In legal terms, what you present would be double jeopardy, being prosecuted twice for the same thing.

When this conversation comes to a conclusion, my expectation is that you may have a better understanding.

Technically speaking no sin is going to be unaccounted for and every last sin will have Divine Retribution on an eternal scale.

But, like I said the Bema Seat isn't a trial, it's an awards ceremony for those who have successfully completed the race.

Why don't you go back to my first very simplistic post [correction, post #8], where I detail that red and blue fact that Paul was not merely Paul. It would lend some intelligence to this conversation if we can get on the same page.

The Bema seat is not about sins. Our sins have already been dealt with by Jesus. It is those very citations you are using that throw you off. They simply do not apply to the Bema Seat.

Obviously there is no interest on your part in engaging the specifics.

If you want to have a credible dialog, start with my post #8 in this thread and it may shed some more light on the particulars of this subject.

The bema works based judgement for allocating rewards is not about merit.
It's about prizes.

I'll race ya

Phl 3:14
I press toward the mark for the prize G1017 of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
1Co 9:24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? G1017
So run, that ye may obtain.

Jeremiah 4:13
Behold, as clouds He shall ascend,
and His chariots as a whirlwind.
His horses are as swift as eagles.
Woe to us! for we are deveastated. [Matt 24:30/Reve 1:7/19]
Reve 18:13
and cinnamon and incenses and attars and frankincense and wine and oil and flour and grain and beasts and flocks and of horses and of chariots and of bodies and souls of men.
