reason to be good and do good

Jesus said ' If you Love me, You will obey my commands. '

That is why Christians do good.

That depends on what you believe in. As you can see, Christians are divided. There are tons of denominations, but there is only one Christ, one Father. Some people don’t believe in the Trinity, just like me, and some do, so the belief is also divided, and so are the answers to your question. But what does the Bible say about your question?

Ecclesiastes 12:14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.

Daniel 12:2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.

Matthew 12:36-37
But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.

Romans 2:5-11
But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God "will repay each person according to what they have done." To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.

Romans 14:10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister ? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

1 Peter 4:5-6
But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.

John 5:28-29
Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out —those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.

John 12:48-50
There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day. For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."

1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.

2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

The Acts 17:31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead."

Hebrews 9:27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

2 Timothy 4:1 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge:

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.

etc.etc.etc...

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.

Which people are being judged here? All the dead people. I have always taken this as the spiritually dead at the great white throne judgement of God.

Christians don't experience this judgement, but they do come before the judgement seat of Christ.


2 Corinthians 5:9-11
New King James Version
The Judgment Seat of Christ
9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

Christ saying this
John 5:24

Life and Judgment Are Through the Son​

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

So, there are 2 judgements, one for unbelievers, (all the dead)
One for believers. (all the spiritually alive)

You are taking verses from other dispensations and applying them to church believers which they don't. Yes God will judge every man.

For unbelievers, they will brought before teh great white throne to be judged and cvast into teh lake of fire.

For the church , we will stand before the bema seat judgment of Jesus which is far different.

1 Corinthians 3:11-15

King James Version

11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

See this is works built on the foundation. So these are saved folks. and it is the works and not the person being judged.

I am sorry, currently not in a good mood, but I'll tell you, you are not God. You cannot see what is in my heart when I said these things. This is why God said...

1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

And right now, you cannot see how tired I am with this same script that people are living, holding to their pride every day, not letting go.

I'll tell you too that you are wrong, so why don't you ask God instead? He might tell you why I did what I did.

Well sorry you are in a bad mood. But that doesn't chaNGE sCRIPTURE. WHEN GOD FORGAVE US OUR SINS- hE FORGAVE ALL OUR SINS AND BEGAN THE PROCESS OF MAKING US LOOK AND ACT JUST LIKE JESUS. When god forgave our sins, He forgave all our sins. Scripture clearly shows that the only judgment a believer now faces is the quality of works we did in Jesus name. OUr sins were judged and punished on the cross.

Didn't I say that it depends on what one believes in? Do you know why I did that instead of specifying which one I believe in? It's because of this.

James 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

At that time, I believed that I would just copy and paste the verses instead of saying exactly what I believe in, so that I could be fair. I put myself in a neutral position instead of expressing what was in my heart. I searched for the answer myself through the scriptures. Do you get it now? The verses I previously mentioned were not truly from my heart but from my quick research, which took me 2-3 hours.

During those 3 hours, instead of teaching others, I taught myself and learned. I first put it in a notepad before selecting all and pasting it on the clipboard.

This verse also came from the heart, which is why I said at the time that I am fed up with people holding on to their pride. But, that does not mean I am not included among them.

Romans 14:10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister ? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

Few on earth understand that judgement that occurs after the resurrection. What does the bible really teach?
1) God has already passed judgement on sin= The wages of sin = death. Thus at death one is acquitted of all past sins.( Romans 6:7)= God would not or could not rejudge ones on those sins during the resurrection. They received the wages in full=death.
2) We find at Daniel 12:2-3-speaking of the resurrection--some will be made righteous--Think about that, the righteous and unrighteous will be resurrected. The righteous are already righteous, thus it has to be the unrighteous resurrected ones who will be made righteous during that time. That means God will give them a second chance under Jesus' rule in Gods kingdom on earth and a chance to be made righteous and get their names written in Gods book of life. But Rev 20 shows many will fall to satan during that time. Its those who get a negative judgement at that point in time.
Think about this- Since the righteous and unrighteous get resurrected, in the blind guide scenarios the unrighteous get condemned, so then why would God loose satan for a little while and sick him back on those who already proved to be righteous? He wouldn't, its to test the faith of the those who were unrighteous but were given a second chance. Truly God is LOVE to do that for them.( give them a second chance to learn and apply his will, just as the righteous do now) Matt 7:21)
That is what the bible really teaches.

Well I was not judging you, but correcting what by all normal understanding was a faulty view of Scripture.

If you are just posting neutral thoughts, you need to inform people you are doing so, otherwise I am one (along with many others) who will believe you are writing what you believe.

The 'etc.' was also included at the end, right? It simply means that there are other verses. I acted this way because you're accusing me of something I didn't do. The 'etc.' was included to indicate that there are other more verses. Stating please correct me if I'm wrong.

Well then let me tell you the one major thing you have done. You deny the Trinity which means you have not gotten a good hold of the Word of God.

As you have roamed so many different places here and made some passing judgments, I do not know what you state. I merely was pointing out you appeared to have a faulty view, and given the fact you deny the Trinity, I now understand why.

how should i explain this :jest:

I did say in my first comment that it depends on what you believe in, and the Christians are divided: some believe in the trinity, in which they claim that they are right, and at the same time, some do not believe in the trinity, and they claim the same thing, if they clash, what would happen? This happens... this website bans anyone who opposes the Trinity, so yeah, it is pointless to discuss or explain myself why I do not believe it is like a Muslim trying to convert a Christian and a Christian to a Jew. It will only lead to dispute.

In a PM that is OK, but to do so in public forums would invite correction.

Well as this is a Christian forum- trhen yes they can ban those who deny the Trinity. that is an unbiblical view. YOu deny it so that puts you in a precarious position. But this way off the topic of the OP. If you wish open a new thread, PM if you do and we can discuss why the denila of the trinity is antibiblical.

Let us be clear here.

Trinity is a made up word that was used to differentiate the difference between the biblical god versus the counterfeit heathen triads of gods.

Father Son and Spirit are all God (divine) though do not hold the same position. So if you see the son, you see the Father as Jesus said.

We have one god manifested in three separate persons while the heathens of the old days served three gods with three separate essences.
