Thank you and I hope we get to meet someday when we stand before the Lord. By then none of this will matter. Have a good day!Deborah wrote:I have never been anything but respectful on this board.waynes world wrote:I wasn't trying to be derogatory and I'm sorry if I came across that way. But I believe God gave us common sense and we should rely on that and not everything someone has written. I said that because some I have dealt with insist that my view that the sun was created in Genesis 1:1 was a sellout. Respect should work both ways, not just from me.
and for the record I never said or inferred that what you believe happened in gen 1:1 was a sellout, I said to my understanding you would be talking something of a working blue print, I also said I have no problem with that, it very well might be, but can find no scriptural evidence for it.
What we are talking here is theology. All we can do is theorise until we can ask the LORD God face to face.

Very true.waynes world wrote:Thank you and I hope we get to meet someday when we stand before the Lord. By then none of this will matter. Have a good day!
One question though.
will we even remember our past life?
When we repent god does not remember our sins. But I doubt that means the same as forgets.
I personally hope that we don't remember how sinful we were.
Church tradition tells us that when John, son of Zebadee and brother of James was an old man, his disciples would carry him to church in their arms.
He would simply say, “Little children, love one another”
After a time his disciples wearied at always hearing these same words and asked “Master why do you always say this?
He replied, “it is the Lords command, and if done, it is enough”

Well, remember, nothing is secret from God, for He knows ALL. Remember that all will be showed about what you have done with your life and that will be shown publicly in heaven and/or judgment. Kind of a scary thing to have to go through .Deborah wrote:Very true.waynes world wrote:Thank you and I hope we get to meet someday when we stand before the Lord. By then none of this will matter.

Brain that contridicts that god will not remember our sins if we repent them. God will only remember the sins we don't repent for.Thinker wrote:Well, remember, nothing is secret from God, for He knows ALL.

Well, I think that people do repent, HOWEVER, they will sometimes break them. What if someone repented, then broke the repentance just at death, what then? It is my understanding that these unrepented sins will be forgiven no matter what based on how you served God and/or have had faith in God. God is all loving and all everything, so, I doubt very much that God will send somebody to hell for a slip-up or have doubts. The Bible still says that we and everyone else will know of how we have lived our lives, but I do intend to think this is a reserved judgment for the people without faith.Deborah wrote:Brain that contridicts that god will not remember our sins if we repent them.

Othrs knowing our sins??!
Does it specificaly sayu that everyone will know our sins?? thats not very pleasnat!! Or is it the beginning of hell? For those who go there? Is being absent from jusgment not being present at that? Ιve heard ppl say such things b4 but acutally didnt quite belive... how will billions of people watch each oters sins and rmember? it will only take billions of years to show each others sins to every1 else!! And can we really "repent" from some sins but not others? Done we repent completely or not at all? Isnt repentence an OVERALL change in one's life?Believer wrote: Well, I think that people do repent, HOWEVER, they will sometimes break them.

"Love is only possible if a choice of either love or rejecting the love is given." One of the most true things id ever heard, not so long ago.

I don't believe that God remembers our sins the way he would remember the sins of those who don't believe. What God has in store for us who belong to Christ well, we can only imagine. Thats a beautiful song by Mercy Me don't you think? Our church sings that once in a while.Deborah wrote:Very true.waynes world wrote:Thank you and I hope we get to meet someday when we stand before the Lord. By then none of this will matter.
