AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we [believers will be called to account and] must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be repaid for what has been done in the body, whether good or bad [that is, each will be held responsible for his actions, purposes, goals, motives--the use or misuse of his time, opportunities and abilities]. |
Subject: What does judgement look like |
Bible Note: You're correct, Jesus' teachings are my plumbline. For example, what if I wanted to know what to do with my enemies? If I followed Moses or Joshua, I would go kill them, women, children, cattle, etc. Wipe 'em all out. But if I follow Jesus on this, he says to love my enemies, to do good to them. Quite different from Moses' and Joshua's take, doncha think? So, no, I don't believe that the Bible is my plumbline. It is meant, according to Paul, to encourage us to good works - 2 Tim 3:16,17. |
