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: What is the difference, Tim? Here is a verse from the book of Leviticus: 'You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.' - Lev 19:19 In this verse, God says not to plant two different kinds of plants in a field. He also says not to wear a garment that has been made from two different kinds of materials (blends). How would you explain to someone that this verse is authoritative for you (that this verse demonstrates God's authority over how you plant and how you dress) but that it is NOT applicable to you (despite the authority of the verse, it doesn't apply to you)? I'm not trying to be contentious, Tim. I really want to know. How can you assert that this verse is authoritative over you but that it doesn't apply to you? If this verse is authoritative over you concerning planting and garments, shouldn't it, by definition, apply to you? If not, why not? |
