Thanks for that, not sure how it applies to me. However, I am reminded of the following passages.
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:17)
The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son (John 5:22)
The book of people's hearts are opened up and the contents are judged according to how they judge others.Answer this - what is the Judgement?
Meaning, upon what are we judged?
The book of people's hearts are opened up and the contents are judged according to how they judge others.
Those written in the book of life are judged as if they are Jesus. Those written in the book of life can be judged according to the first criteria if they do not forgive people.
I can't bapticostal anymore. I just go by what the bible says.We are either judged according to works apart from Christ (damnation) or we are judged according to Christ - whether we are in Him.
If we are in Christ we aren't quietly letting people go to perdition.

Yes, both are critical in this discussion.So, where's the imbalanced view of Christ? It's the one that fails to apply both Holiness AND Grace, Mercy and Love all at the same time. One is not a precondition for the other. But somehow, the doctrines of some churches are such that the precondition overrides the church polity.
The world is already condemned. Jesus purpose for coming was to provide salvation for a condemned world.Thanks for that, not sure how it applies to me. However, I am reminded of the following passages.
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:17)

I was discussing scripture, then you presented an either or scenario that excluded the scriptures I was referencing. Thus, I cannot bapticostal.This makes no sense at all. If you don't want to discuss Scripture then just say so... It's more polite.
But I will note, Jesus said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.
It's not so much about judging, but judging without mercy. Since our ancestors ate the fruit of knowing good and evil, every thought is by nature judging.The world is already condemned. Jesus purpose for coming was to provide salvation for a condemned world.
One day Jesus will judge the world and send all unbelievers into punishment. But his purpose for coming was not to punish. Thats coming.
And it's not our place to punish people for their sin. They are already condemned.
We are to preach repentance. Thats not judging.
Not sure what this means. We are to forgive those who have sinned against us. Which is about the love and mercy.Those written in the book of life can be judged according to the first criteria if they do not forgive people.
In the same way that you commit adultery by imagining it, and commit murder through hate; the same way imagining all of humanity going to hell is you taking God's place and judging them in your mind. Thus, you will be judged the same way you judged them.Not sure what this means. We are to forgive those who have sinned against us. Which is about the love and mercy.
But we can't forgive those who are sinners. And we can't preach repentance without mentioning that people are lost and need a savior.
That's incorrect. Judging is NOT about mentioning sinful acts. Otherwise Paul.is very guilty of it. As well as Peter.Thus, you will be judged the same way you judged them.
He will render to each one according to his works:The Father judges no one,
I wasn't talking about that, but if you feel guilty about it, feel free to pray regarding it.That's incorrect. Judging is NOT about mentioning sinful acts. Otherwise Paul.is very guilty of it. As well as Peter.
Judging is NOT mentioning sinful acts. Did you thinking was?
For example. Lying is a sin. I cannot forgive my neighbor for lying to his boss. However I can tell my neighbor it was wrong to lie to his boss.
The righteous live by faith, and faith that doesn't show compassion to others is dead.He will render to each one according to his works:
to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality,
he will give eternal life;
but for those who are self-seeking
and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.
There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil,
the Jew first and also the Greek,
but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.
For God shows no partiality.

I think most of the sins were actually talking about, the majority of liberalists claim are NOT caused by mental illness.I don't want to turn this thread into a mental illness thread, but I do agree that mental illness is real. I have worked with mentally ill people for many years. The mind is part of the body and the body experiences illness. So does the mind.
But I a curious now this applies to our discussion on the unbalanced view of Christ.
