Is the Judgment Seat of Christ separate from the Great White Throne Judgment?

[dremnant]

No, you are wrong. It is your holding to false doctrines of men that have taken your understanding away from the simplicity of the Scriptures, that's the difference.

Funny how you say I'm wrong without scriptural basis to back your claim...yet I have shown you what the Scriptures actually say.

No, you are still... in error on that. The "first resurrection" also represents those gathered at the rapture on the last day of this world, who are promised to reign with Christ with His "rod of iron". And I showed you that per the Revelation 2:25-27 Scripture within His Message to the Church of Thyatira. Now go read it like you are supposed to, like a good little boy.

You obviously don't understand the texts that you read.
Revelation 2:25-27
[25] But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. [26] And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: [27] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

You are ignoring the part where they had to keep the works till death. It means their tribulation ends with them getting executed.

 

[AngelicArcher]

I have to LAUGH at your LIMITED COVERAGE of that TOPIC!

You obviously thought to push a certain agenda of men with that, because you completely bypassed the future events written of about the unsaved and wicked still existing AFTER Christ's future return and separation of His sheep from the goats.

Rev 3:9
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
KJV

That above verse has NEVER happened during this present world, nor will it happen during this present world. That "synagogue of Satan" is about Christ's greatest enemies, servants of the devil.

ONLY... during Christ's future "thousand years" reign of Revelation 20 will that above verse happen. That is when those of that "synagogue of Satan" will bow at the feet of Christ's elect to worship Him.

So if your post was an attempt to support man's FALSE theory of Amillennialism, it definitely failed.

I feel it impossible to miss. You are sooooo ANGRY!

In your self righteous indignation toward others you show me you have no room inside you for the peace of Christ.

May God help you.

This is all I can tell you.

 

[shepherdsword]

The judgements are two separate events. The judgement seat of Christ happens at the 7th Trumpet. While salvation is based on faith in Christ, the faithful are judged and rewarded based on their deeds.

Rv 11:15-18
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

The GWT happens AFTER the first resurrection and before the creation of the NHNE:
Their salvation is based upon their works.

Rv 20:12-13
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

That's not how I'm looking at this. I'm looking at there being them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie, still existing in our day and time, but instead of Revelation 19:21 happening to them as well, they are spared and are meaning some of the ones meant in Zechariah 14:16, and that Jesus and His resurrected saints rule over them with a rod of iron.

After all, Zechariah 14:16 is involving coming up to worship. It would be silly to think that unsaved ppl that already died, that Jesus is going to raise them from the dead in order to make them do what Revelation 3:9 records during the millennium. That's not what I think.

And since Revelation 3:9 hasn't been fulfilled, what's recorded in Zechariah 14:16 appears to fit it, which then means what I brought up earlier in Isaiah 60 is the the same time period Zechariah 14:16 is involving, that being the thousand years following the 2nd coming.

Can you explain why people would again be required to go to Jerusalem to worship in light of what Jesus said here....

John 4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Why do you think that the time will come when what Jesus said here will no longer be true? Why would God change it so that people were not required to go to Jerusalem to worship Him and instead worship Him in spirit and in truth only to change things back to how they used to be again?

 

[Ezra]

there are several judgments in the Bible judgment of nations the lost and the bema seat ( for those truly saved) where we give account od the good and bad for rewards . the white throne judgement seat is for the lost Revelation 20:15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

[Earburner]

Many bible teachers are claiming the believers will be facing the Judgment Seat of Christ, while the unbelievers will be facing the Great White Throne judgment. It is also being taught that these judgments shall take place separately. Does the scriptures support that teaching? Let's see what the Bible says...

John 5:22 (KJV)
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son

Matthew 16:27 (KJV)
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Revelation 22:12 (KJV)
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Matthew 7:22-23 (KJV)
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

I hope these verses are enough for everybody to understand that Jesus Christ will be the one sitting at the Great White Throne to judge every man, including unbelievers according to their works.

So, what did our scholars missed? Simple... the judgment seat of Christ (Romans 14:10; 2 Corinthians 5:10) is the same as the great white throne judgment (Revelation 20:11). What John described as a great white throne, Paul simply called it the judgment seat of Christ.

You won't find other books in the Bible where an author other than Paul mentioned the judgment seat of Christ. And you won't find a verse where Paul mentioned a great white throne.

Hope this post helps introduce some of you to the next level of understanding the Scriptures. Just make sure to ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding. You will be thrilled to realize how much heavenly truth we don't yet know.

Amen! John 3:18 explains that the Judgment Seat of Christ is the White Throne Judgment.
It began in the time of Jesus' mortal death and bodily resurrection into New Life, and shall end on the Day of His Fiery return from Heaven, in flaming fire. 2 Thes. 1:7-10.

Funny how you say I'm wrong without scriptural basis to back your claim...yet I have shown you what the Scriptures actually say.

That above false statement only proves how much... in error you are, because you apparently REFUSE to recognize when I reference or quote Bible Scripture that makes clear what I'm saying. Your doing that shows you are on an false AGENDA, A SMEAR AGENDA.

You obviously don't understand the texts that you read.

There, you did your false AGENDA again! A smear strategy of making false claims!

Advice Apostle Paul gave to Timothy about preaching and REBUKING those who need it....

1 Tim 5:20
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
KJV

2 Tim 4:2
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
KJV

Titus 1:10-14
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
KJV

So I am sorry that I offended your Socialist-Communist approach to Christianity and The Bible. The day will come when that view will never be allowed again.

[Spiritual Israelite]

The judgements are two separate events. The judgement seat of Christ happens at the 7th Trumpet. While salvation is based on faith in Christ, the faithful are judged and rewarded based on their deeds.

Rv 11:15-18
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

The GWT happens AFTER the first resurrection and before the creation of the NHNE:
Their salvation is based upon their works.

Rv 20:12-13
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

I couldn't disagree more. In Matthew 13:36-43, Matthew 13:47-50 and Matthew 25:31-46 we can see believers and unbelievers being judged at the same time when Jesus comes at the end of the age. So, clearly, not just believers, but also unbelievers will stand before the judgment seat of Christ while bowing their knees and giving an account of themselves. So, there is no basis for differentiating between the judgment at the seventh trumpet and the judgment after the thousand years. The seventh trumpet signals "the time of the dead, that they should be judged" and the dead are clearly judged after the thousand years, according to Revelation 20:11-15.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

You are right, it is called 'righteous indigination'.

No, it's called rude foolishness. If you actually were right, that would be one thing, but you are treating others rudely while being wrong in what you're saying at the same time. It's a bad combination.

I am ZEALOUS FOR THE LORD! especially against those who PUSH falseness against HIS Word as written!

Everyone here is zealous for the Lord! But, we can't all be right. Saul (later called Paul) was zealous for the Lord and had a bunch of Christians killed because of his false understanding of God's word at that time.

You have a switch where you can simply turn your computer screen to somewhere else if you don't like it.

Rebuke is fine if what you are saying is correct. But, you spew a bunch of falsehood, so in your case it's not rebuke, but just rude hatred.

 

[Earburner]

Amen! John 3:18 explains that the Judgment Seat of Christ is the White Throne Judgment.
It began in the time of Jesus' mortal death and bodily resurrection into New Life, and shall end on the Day of His Fiery return from Heaven, in flaming fire. 2 Thes. 1:7-10.

So then,...no replies to my post #127 tells me that no one understands what it is that I am saying.
So, I will go one step at a time, concerning John 3:18.
1. For all here who are born again Christians, have you "appeared" before the judgment seat of Christ", or are you still waiting for Him to appear with His judgment about you? Which is it that John 3:18 is speaking of?

2. But if you as a "believer" are still waiting for His judgment, how is it that you do not know that in the present tense of John 3:18, you as a believer are no longer condemned, yet the unbeliever IS condemned ALREADY.
All of that judgment has been taking place during each and everyone's mortal life, simply because of belief or unbelief in Jesus as the Savior of the world.

Edit:
Luke 23
[42] And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
[43] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

If I may be so bold as resident newbie.

Perhaps rather than try to persuade Davey to consider his behavior we might realize by his replies to our effort this far that he isn't in a place where he will hear us.

So instead we might gather together here and surround him in prayer.

 

[Davy]

Accusing your opponent of what you are guilty of? Yep...that's how Marxists work.

Now you've done it, you white-washed Leftist-Communist false wall!

I served my country, the good ole' USA, during the Vietnam War! I am a U.S. military Veteran.

What would YOU probably have been doing if you lived back then? Probably sitting on your butt as a Leftist-Liberal HIPPIE smokin' dope! That appears to be where your mentality level is!

You don't have a clue what The Bible actually teaches, but are just 'winging it' here trying to ACT... like you know. But you might... learn something IF... you get off of whatever you are taking that has your mind confused.

 

[Davy]

I did expose your unscriptural teaching. Those who read these replies can check that by reading post #110 and post #121 of this thread.

Ha ha! Before you could expose anything... you would first have to understand Bible teaching to start with! You do not understand Bible teaching directly from The Bible as written. Instead you reveal that you are following some FANATICAL OCCULT GROUP that TWISTS what The Bible teaches as written.

By the way, are you a JEW? Are you a follower of the Jew's religion called Judaism?

 

[Davy]

If I may be so bold as resident newbie.

Perhaps rather than try to persuade Davey to consider his behavior we might realize by his replies to our effort this far that he isn't in a place where he will hear us.

Why can't yal just learn to stick to The Bible, instead of doing all that stupid mocking all the time? You really think others here that know better are listening to your silly rant?

My behavior is in line with how my Heavenly Father feels about lukewarm hypocrites and those that follow Communism-Socialism. I fought against the Communists in the Vietnam War, and now I'm falsely accused of being a Marxist?!@?! That's INSANE! And by your continued spite here against me, you are starting to associate with those very Communists that come here to create chaos by mocking those presenting actual real Bible teaching straight from God's Word as written.

That is why... I included that Soviet strategic point no.27 from ex-FBI agent Cleon Skousen's book The Naked Communist, simply because the idea of SOCIAL RELIGION is what the majority here are being taught, instead of REVEALED RELIGION directly from The Bible AS WRITTEN.

 

[Scott Downey]

So then,...no replies to my post #127 tells me that no one understands what it is that I am saying.
So, I will go one step at a time, concerning John 3:18.

Luke 23
[42] And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
[43] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

That is why judgement Day can take just a Day, much has already been decided.
Angels all day long record things you said and did in your book during your very short life on earth.
You are being watched.

Of course, all unbelievers are already condemned. The words Christ spoke will judge them on the Last Day as will their own words either justify or condemn them.

John 12:48
He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him— the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

Mathew 12
35 A good man out of the good treasure [a]of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Judgment DAY is at His second appearing, as in the finality of it as in sentence pronounced and execution of the judgement, no appeals.

2 Timothy 4
I charge you [a]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead [b]at His appearing and His kingdom

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth... and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes...”​

What about the great horde of wicked tares following the devil, where do they come from during the 1000 years long reign?

Their number is as the sand of the seashore in Rev 20.
