Wrong Phat!

Giving your heart does involve doing something, but the Matthew sheep/goats scripture is addressed to Jews who need to do good works (and obey the Law perfectly..or as near as can be done) in order to be righteous.
Nonsense Phat and you know better than to try crap like that.
quote:
Matthew 25:31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Re: Wrong Phat!
What the hell does the story say?
It says "All the nations". Have you joined yet another of the dispensationalist cults?

Re: A Matter Of Speculation and Discernment
You know me. I seek honesty and the Spirit.
You may argue that I have historically preferred fantasy over reality, but I would respond by saying that it is an unresolved matter what proportion and distribution of each is.(fantasy & reality).
Do you?
Reality can be tested. We can actually go read Matthew 25 to see what it says the audience was.
It appears the answer to my question is "Yes, you've joined another of the dispensationalist cults".
They make you feel good and so you accept gladly their misrepresentation of what the Bible actually says. You prefer the comfortable fantasy over the unpleasant reality.

Re: Do good works cheerfully
If you had read the Bible you would see that God does change. In fact the god found in Genesis 1 is entirely different than the god found in Genesis 2&3.
But again, Jesus said you need to do good works. Jesus never said you need to do them cheerfully and in fact the Bible shows Jesus being coerced into doing good works he did not want to do.

Re: A Matter Of Speculation and Discernment
And I'd say that Jesus says that Christianity is about what you do and why you do it is totally irrelevant.
Have you ever read the Bible?

Re: Do good works cheerfully
It is what the Bible says Jesus said. You began this with quotations from a dispensationalist, not even the Bible. But have you checked to see if what the dispensationalist says is what the Bible says Jesus said?
Jesus said nothing about doing good works cheerfully and in fact the very first miracle Jesus did was done grudgingly and under duress.

Re: Satan
Hi, welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. You haven't read the Bible have you? If you had you'd realize that the author of Johns Gospel was trying to change Christianity to fit his mold and the the author of James was just flat wrong according to the Bible itself.
In the Bible God says He creates evil and calamity and also tempts people and even has His own personal tempter he sends out to do the tempting for Him.

Re: Satan
No Phat, it is not explaining scripture, it is pointing to what it actually says.
