Which question did I miss?
Lets say that being Judged by your works has nothing to do with your salvation..


Now would you agree that we are still to be Judged by our works ? anyways

Another question and a bit out there does anyone know if its normal to suffer painful armpits 6 hours after a wasp sting..

I herd that if the sting stays in and carry on stinging your lymph nodes can hurt and swell up with the venom allergic reaction..

My armpits felt like some one was biting them befor.. ouch its my 4 th wasp attack in three weeks...

Yes I have stated before that we are judged by our works and we will be convicted of our sins.

We will be judged and given a crown in heaven. It will be made of our works.

I believe gold is our purity/glory, silver is our good works and precious jewels will be the memories of the blessed moments God gave us to enjoy in this life. Hay will be our false doctrines and stumble will be our fears.

That is my current understanding of the verses below. That if our foundation is in Christ, our works may burn up but God will save us from the fire.

****

1 Corinthians 3
11For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

Have you gotten the stinger out? If not it can get infected.

I got a ton of mosquito bites a couple weeks ago and somehow got poison ivy rashes that I am dealing with.

However I thank God for our immune system that helps our body heal.

Can you image of our bodies didn't heal from all our stupid mistakes?

I have found that paper tape or bandaids over poison ivy will help it not spread and remind you not to itch.

Also antihistamine cream and oral medicine can help also.
If it swells, an ice pack to the area can help too.

However if you are allergic to bee stings you might need a shot from the hospital.

How can you be unfaithful and saved?

I thought Faith in Jesus was what saved?

I believe some people are so enslaved that they may not have outward fruit and good works but inward change of heart and mind.

Bee and wasp stings....water mixed with baking soda applied will pull some of the poison
Poison ivy and oak...a bath with some bleach mixed in will help
Mosquitos antihistamine

Unfaithful......Don't study much, don't witness much, worldly, haphazard service works of wood, hay and stubble

FAITHFUL-->DANIEL, ABRAHAM, JOHN, PAUL

Unfaithful-->Corinthian (brother fornicating), Samson (worldly) etc......

Faithful<---works of Gold, silver and precious stones
Unfaithful<--Works of wood, hay and stubble

Saving faith is a gift from God and the source, author and finisher is JESUS

after salvation our faith can be increased and grown by service

Is it not called a WORK of faith, LABOR of LOVE and patience of hope........

LOOK....ONE has not said that faith will not produce works (JAMES) the contention that has always been is, do works save us or keep us saved and the answer is NO (ROMANS)

JESUS is the beginner and finisher of our faith, the source of our faith when it comes to salvation and that is why salvation is eternally secure in Christ HE WILL FINISH what he started......
