John, I've read this thread, and found your mention of the Judgmemt before Christ. Forgive me if my question is inappropriate, or in a wrong place - but my understanding of that event has always been that it's more a moment of reward or lack thereof. That the "judgment" took place at the Cross when we accepted Jesus as Savior, and we continue in self-judgment and when we find ourselves in need of correction, by 1Jn 1:9, we take care of the matter - so it is therefore no longer judgment but reward (or lack of reward). Rom 2:6 For God will reward each of us according to what we have done. Perhaps I've misunderstood you, so let me state that I'm referring to the catching away of the saints of God (the Rapture as some call it), not the Great Day of the Lord, where the unrighteous dead and living will be judged. Have I gotten it all backwards? Eager to learn. Blessings Cheri |

Hello Cheri! It is good to hear from you, and have an opportunity to talk. I appreciate your comments very much, and I think you are right on the money. Sorry, I was not clear on that. Yes, indeed, reward, or little reward, or no reward. I believe these are all on the table, so to speak. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 3:15 - KJV "If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." I hope that gives you a better picture of what I was talking about, and I know this may sound a bit silly, but I get a picture of someone swinging on a rope over the wall of the new Jerusalem, with flames licking at his backside. Safe, but burned in the process. I hope I don't get a flurry of notes for that one. :-) God bless. John |

Hiya brother John, You probably will, hahaha. And since my days of rope swinging are long gone, guess I'd better make sure my works will stand the test! in Love Cheri |

Dear sister Cheri, I love your sense of humor! :-) I am chuckling as I write this. But we must be careful, the Lockman foundation does not encourage this, as some may not understand, and I suppose I can see their point. Although, personally, I would like to us all lighten up a little, and share a laugh once in a wile. Its good for the soul! Perhaps we can share a joke or two in emails? Clean ones of course! :-) Your Brother in Christ. John |
