Bible Question:
Thanks for the reply and Scripture but please answer my questions! Will believers give an accounting of "every careless word" at the Judgment Seat of Christ? Are careless words "sin?" |
Bible Answer: I would have to say yes. We know from the many pictures painted throughout the Bible depicting Judgment Day, there's only going to be two groups of people: those who were faithful and kept their Lord as a high priority in their life and those that didn't. BUT I do think the Greek word for careless was a little more suggestive of sin than we mean in today's world. I'm certain our Lord doesn't mean for us, his children to NOT enjoy a good wholesome joke or to recognize humor in our world. We don't see Jesus in very many humorous situations but that's because he had such a serious job of saving the lost from a dying world and He had such a short time to wrap up His mission. Do you have any idea of the exact Greek word for "careless" and its full meaning? What are your thoughts on this matter? Blessings to you. Country Girl |
