I agree. Much of what we consider good is “human good” and will be burned as “filthy rags.”
sue,
Are you really a Christian or a troll from Antifa?
1 Corinthians 15
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
How much plainer could it be?
You can not be raised until after you die.
The truly amazing part... The people who refuse to look at the Scott Clarke videos. In my experience, the vast majority.
Amen
Luke 21:36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen.
20 And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is near. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the middle of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath on this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
The Return of the Son of Man
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.
Spiritual kingdom.
But the son of man came in the clouds with power and great glory not only did the chosen ones of Jesus keep preaching but the more they were persecuted the more they preached.
and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
In 1948 the Jews were allowed to go back to their home land the times of the gentiles had been fulfilled.
Seems to me all of this is history.

Well, you’ve put to bed this thread.
Especially works a believer may be proud of..... “Lord - remember when I did this? and that?” - and He will say, “No. That was you, and not Me.”
God owes us nothing, we already owe him any works we do.
A man may give his son a dollar for bringing in the wood but he does not owe it to him, it is something the brat should do any way.
And us brats should do what Jesus said in regards to our neighbors, if we don`t we are probably not saved to begin with and even if we are we may lose it.
Matthew 24
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
John 14
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
If our love for Christ wax`s cold will we still be saved?
Well, you’ve put to bed this thread.
What happens to the dead in Christ who didn’t measure up? Do they miss the rapture too?
If you are “in Christ”, you “measure up” because of Christ’s righteousness (not your own) that was imputed to you when you were born again.
2Cor. 5:21
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
I don’t know what Eli believes. I can only speak for what I believe, and I believe the scriptures.
>>What happens to the dead in Christ who didn’t measure up? Do they miss the rapture too?<<
I don’t know.
Rom 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.Scottie Clarke, talking about a class of Christians that may not be eligible for the rapture because they aren’t living the right lifestyle has inadvertently included himself in that same class.
Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.I am glad I am not like those Israelites that made a golden calf while Moses was on the mount. Maybe I am like them. We need to judge carefully.
I don’t know how else you could interpret the Lord’s several admonitions about being watchful for His return and not caught up in the cares of this world.
