**private matter between me & God.**

So are you saying that your sins affect no one else?

They don’t affect a spouse, your children, your co-workers, your boss?

You always do the right thing — drive the speed limit for example — when no one is watching?

EVERYTHING we do affects other people. And we will all know at the general judgment when the sheep and the goats are separated. (You will know, of course, at the moment of your death — your particular judgment.)

Hmmmm.

Who said ANYTHING about sins? I commented on the title of the thread, chief. Nothing more.

" So are you saying that your sins affect no one else? "

Those who trust in Jesus Christ, their sins have already been dealt with ( our legal and right standing with GOD ) in the person, and body of Jesus Christ.
God has already effectively judged our sins in the vicarious sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

God will deal with his people's sins while living in this world until Christ comes by disciplining them as his children, but, their legal, and right standing with GOD is safe in Christ.
There is in no way, that a Christian should think that since their sins have already been dealt with that they should live in a sinful lifestyle, or not allowing to chastise them, or using discipline them to have a change of mind about their sins, that's what repentance means.

I and the other Christians won't be there...We've already been judged...

Here's the private message you sent me...

What makes you think you escape judgement at the moment of your death.

Read Dr. Jeffery Long’s book on Near Death Experiences — even Protestants meet something at the moment of their deaths.

Because Jesus says so...

Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

You can't use only the scriptures that fit your theology...You have to take all of the scriptures and sort them out...

And as you can see, those of us who are Christians have already been judged...And there is no condemnation...We will NOT come into condemnation, at any judgment...

And of course we meet something at death...We meet Jesus Christ, face to face...

Trust me on this...............God doesn’t care if you speed, only the police do. Speeding is a ticket, not a sin.
