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: Greetings Bill! We had someone ask a similar question recently based upon a newspaper editorial. The simplest answer is that the Mosaic Law was a covenant between God and Israel. As I am not an Israelite, the restriction concerning mixing materials does not apply to me. :-) Thus, the passage is authoritative (as God's Word), but it does not apply directly to me. Another example would be God's command to Noah to build an ark. The command is authoritative, but does not apply directly to me (else we would all have to build an ark). :-) My original point though was that you differentiate between the Scriptural words of Christ and the Scriptural words of Paul, yet both have the full authority of God's Word.
