What you are concluding is that we will be judged at the JSOC for our own labor (which is really not our own) and we will be rewarded for our labor (which is really not our own). Can you not see the error of this thinking?
Please, be specific as you account those errors as related in Revelation 20.

God's Word, HS = Holy Spirit, TOJ = teachings of Jesus, GRFS = God's requirement for salvation, DOD = duo of desirables (heaven and hell), KOTH = war and other suffering, PP = propensity principle, KISS = keep it short and simple, etc. = etcetera, :^)

I am not a fan of your acronyms... even your biblical verses ... the way you shorten the citation is unusual and ungainly.

That's okay, at least I provide Scriptural support, nobody's perfect.

Your art is fine, and I like the one included with this post, but consider not repeating the same huge picture in every post on a page. [Less is more :]

I do not repeat the same picture in every post on a page... Unless you are referring to my auto siggy which is not huge. I have seen huge auto siggy images and mine does not qualify.

I am not sure which thread it was in but I'm pretty sure it was just yesterday when I asked you what was meant when you said people return to the state that Adam and Eve were in before they sinned. I would like to see Biblical support for that.

Revelation 20 is concerning the great white throne judgment. That is a different judgment than the judgment seat of Christ for believers.
Very good.

Then there are those who appear before the Bema "judgement" seat of God. Those are the believers who will be judged according to their behaviors, works, in Christ and rewarded accordingly.

Well, I thought you got a little carried away on p. 4 of Faith, but is it my imagination or have you somehow changed most of your previous art postings to the current one? (Maybe I was subconsciously noticing/missing the pretty gals? :)

Anyway, I was just trying to point out that sometimes less is more, so copying only the relevant parts of a passage can be appropriate.

I I just went to the page that you brought my attention to and I did not post any of my panels more than once on that page... So I'm not sure what you're talking about and besides, nobody can edit a post after the 5 minute window has closed so I can't go back and change posts willy-nilly like you seem to be suggesting.

I am not sure where we were either, but what I meant was that Christians are permitted to eat from the tree of life and live forever in garden of heaven. (RV 22:2, 14 & 19)

Okay, I am semi-senile, although I seem to remember a better example, but it does not matter as long as you get my point regarding shortening long passages in order to focus on the pertinent part. My apologies.

Believe me I make an effort to keep the text as short as possible on the panels because otherwise I know it's just too much ... but I can't go back and start editing every panel that is already made just so that it has only the pertinent part that may be relevant to the discussion at hand ... and if it has any of that it's going to be posted as is.

I see... but as Christians we have already eaten of the Tree of Lfe and we don't want to return to the state they were in which was of the natural world.

Okay, I was merely trying to justify in my unusual and ungainly way the way I shorten the citation, but now I am wondering if by citation your are referring to the passage or only to my abbreviations of the Bible books? (Communicating completely, concisely and clearly is such a challenge!)

Ok, so we do make choices on our own that determine rewards. Now we’re getting somewhere.😉

My my apologies if I wasn't clear in talking about your acronyms and how you shorten the verse citation names and me calling them ungainly ... because it is unusual ... I have never seen them represented the way you do and it takes some effort to figure out what you are actually referring to when you just give a citation and not the actual verse... Which you do often.

Also there was a case recently where I posted two panels fairly close together that had to do with the same idea of people seeking God and finding Him... I believe one had verses 26 and 27 on them in one went from 27 to 29 out of the book of Acts ... I'm not sure which chapter it was.

Hopefully you will get used to my abbreviations and acronyms, because I may not be able to change those habits easily.
Not sure, but I think those verses in ACTS were from chapter 28.

Um no

It says they were antichrist.. and they did nto lose salvation they never had it

You also skipped 2 verses

20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

differentiating you from them.

All the verse you showed was that if you have true faith, you have the annointing, if you fall into an antichrist. Well you were never of us..

why would you want to earn salvation
The two verses I skipped further made my point, because they show that the verse 24 you ignore is warning those with us against also going out from us.
