Romans 4:5

2 cor 5:21


They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. Titus 1:16

The abominable will have their part in the lake of fire.

Let's connect these two dots...

... in works they deny Him, being ABOMINABLE!

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelation 21:8

Only people who are judged for their works are the spiritual dead ones .. Rev 20:11-15

Ezekiel 18:30 -
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

1 Peter 1:17 -
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

2 cor 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

vs 13 states who they are

Yes, they are a part of 'every man'. And so are believers.

2 Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Matt 16:27
Matthew 16:27
For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.

Matthew 25:32
All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.


Acts 10:42
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.

Romans 14:10
You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.


Ephesians 6:8
because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

Only a head's up...we're in the Kingdom of God as Christians yet we must remain in...point, if someone happens to have enough truth (especially dealing with "faith" & "repentance"), not so deceptively mixed with error, and that truth is viewed as fallacious to insane because doesn't align with one's teachings and/or view not having an agape for that truth, then wham, gong, IIThess.2:11, 12 kicks in... :groupray:

The upside is if no one here has that truth, we'll all be o.k.

Old Jack just thinking out loud again. ;)

BTW I don't have that truth. :blush:

The Sheep in Matt 25 didn't even know they were serving Jesus. They were deemed righteous by their actions, not their beliefs.

They were blessed by the Father before they performed their righteous deeds however - see vs 34. The deeds came because of the blessing - the blessing didn't come because of the deeds.... The text clearly reads that way.

You are misreading. Jesus knew them because they came to him when they served those in need.

The difference between the sheep and the goats is their actions, not their beliefs.

The difference between the sheep and the goats upon each one's passing is the former believed where the latter disbelieved when confronted with the truth of the Word.

That's not what the bible says. That is just your dogma speaking.

Those that served Jesus didn't even know they were doing so.
