People who act all casual if Christ caught them watching p0rn or other things they shouldn't put in front of their eyes need to get into their Bibles and/or have an encounter with Christ.

I don't know, maybe they don't know Christ is God, and haven't turned to the right in their NT's far enough?

The flippant attitude is unbelievable and imo telltale. The saints fell at his feet as dead. It just shows me, IMHO some see a domesticated Christ in Scripture - a pushover.

Going to be many surprised believers when Jesus is revealed as God (Revelation) and there will be no "but Lord" in that day.....like I have taught....you can bow now and willingly acknowledged Him as Lord or you can be forced to when every knee is cracked and everyone bows and confesses to His glory....Me personally....I chose now and willingly.....and not without my failures for sure........but HE IS LORD, Savior and God........the one and only mediator between God and MEN.......NO other name under heaven whereby men MUST BE SAVED....<----many chunk the last part....

the mixed messages in this site are 'mind-boggling' = most say and believe that IF'
they have received the HS, then what ever they do is of no consequences, because
they have the 'indwelling' of the HS, they can do what ever in their 'physical bodies-
and they are no more responsible or accountable for their 'choices',,,
and on the other hand, there are those who know the Truth, that
we will all 'reap' what we sow, 'no lee=way, no exception, ' at the 'Judgment Seat of Christ'...

Can you name some people who say this? I have yet to see anyone on CC say this at least not in a long time. Thge only people I hear making this claim are people who are against grace only through faith receiving of eternal life (eternal security)

Hello again CC!!!

There's this teaching in my old church that when Christians get to heaven, God would show them something like a slideshow of their lives on earth, what they have done and that they would remember all their failures and mistakes.

Anyone heard of this blasphemy before?

Apparently, the scripture "...their sins, I will remember no more" did not reach my old congregation.

God does judge the unrighteous according to their deeds. Revelation 20:12 says that unbelievers will be “judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Those who have rejected Christ as Lord and Savior will be judged based on their works alone, and because the Bible tells us that “by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified” (Galatians 2:16), they will be condemned. Even believers will give an account to God. It is following the judgment of all (no condemnation in Christ) that those whose names have been blotted out of the Lamb's book of life pass into the second death; then hell and death are thrown into the Lake of Fire, and the heavens and earth are made new, with the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven to dwell on Earth, where we shall be united forever after with Him. That is when all the past is forgotten. That is my understanding :)

I can understand that. But this was used to scare the church and use "fear" to motivate them into not sinning. The truth is, it is still a very common thing today.

Ah, yes, the good ol' scare tactics. Reminds me of something W.C. Fields used to say :D
