Concerning the restored nations transferred from the tribulation into the millennial kingdom:
"Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." (Matt. 25:34)
Concerning the sons of God who reign over the restored nations. These sons of God inherit the blessing of God's eternal purpose from BEFORE the foundation of the world.
"Even as He chose us in Him BEFORE the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love, Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will." (Eph. 1:4,5)
The sons of God in the millennium and in eternity new heaven and new earth reign over (not each other) but blessed people restored to Adam's state of innocence.
I do not need, neither do I care, to understand every false doctrine that blows around the place. Your doctrine is convoluted nonsense that twists the teachings of the bible. A follower of Christ listens to Christ, nobody else. You are not one.
You are just BARELY able to take milk.
More solid meat you cannot handle.
And Matthew 25:31-46 is more solid then meat. It is bones maybe.
And you are not able to digest it.
But then again relatively solid meat of a book like Galatians you are not even able to take in. You DUMB down the New Testament to force it into the kind of questionable MILK you are able to take. And it is not too good.
The EXCUSE you make for DUMBING DOWN the New Testament is some pride that you and only you care about obeying the commands of Christ. You have just taken the Ten Commandments and added commandments eleven on as exhortations in the New Testament.
The sheep inherit the kingdom of "My Father" says Jesus.
He did not say He was THIER Father. But God IS their Creator blessing them.
And coming into the millennial period they are blessed.
The sons who reign over them are sons of the Father - sonship being prepared for them before the creation of the world.
The thread is on the Avoidance of Eternal Punishment.
The Apostle Paul gives the apostolic teaching on the bottom line on being saved.
I said the bottom line.
"But the what does it say? The word is NEAR you, in your mouth and in your heart, that is the word of faith which we preach.
That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Confess with your mouth, believe in your heart that the Lord Jesus has been raised from the dead and be saved. Any argument? See Paul the Apostle author of 13 of the 27 New Testament documents.
The word is NEAR you, in your MOUTH and in your HEART.
What word? "That is , the word of faith which we preach"
In our mouth and in your heart:
"That is you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
FOR . . . with the heart there is BELIEVING unto RIGHTEOUSNESS,
and with the MOUTH there is confession unto SALVATION.
For the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on Him shall not be put to shame.
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all and rich to all who call upon Him; For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:8-13)
NOW WATCH CAREFULLY. Rajk999 will not be able to locate within those 6 verses ANYTHING suggesting men should disobey the commands of Jesus. This is his accusation and lie, that to believe in the heart and confess with the mouth Lord Jesus the resurrected Son of God is necessarily to engage in disobeying the commands of Jesus.
Where Rajk999 in verses 8 through 13 does it teach disobedience to Jesus?
@sonship saidAs usual your little brain cannot understand much of scripture. What you are good at is regurgitating the vomit preached by Witness Lee. You misquote and misinterpret the critical teachings of the bible. Here is another example of many

Milk and Meat - Here is what Paul said
There has been enough time for you to be teachers---yet you still need someone to teach you the first lessons of God's message. Instead of eating solid food, you still have to drink milk. Anyone who has to drink milk is still a child, without any experience in the matter of right and wrong. Solid food, on the other hand, is for adults, who through practice are able to distinguish between good and evil. (Hebrews 5:12-14 GNB)
Milk is basic first principles of Gods message
Meat is for those who understand right and wrong, good and evil, and practice it.
You are still at the stage where you only preach first principles. ...MILK
Nothing about MEAT - good and evil or right and wrong comes out of your preaching.
@Rajk999
Referring to regurgitating Witness Lee is only your way to conceal your inability to actually refute what I wrote.
You misquote and misinterpret the critical teachings of the bible.
Identify the misquote or retract the accusation.
The misquote is ___________________?
Milk and Meat - Here is what Paul said
As I know Revelation 2 and 3 better than you do, I will now say I also know the book of Hebrews better than you do.
There has been enough time for you to be teachers---yet you still need someone to teach you the first lessons of God's message.
I think that more applies to yourself.
THE FOUNDATIONAL things of the new covenant include things which you do not teach but appear to OPPOSE.
It is there in Hebrews 6:1,2
"Therefore leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be brought on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God."
The foundational truths are the milk to go on FROM. And what is the milk? What is the foundational truth of the Gospel?
"REPENTANCE FROM DEAD WORKS AND FAITH TOWARDS GOD"
You are here day after day FIGHTING against "repentance from dead works".
You are here day after day BELITTLING "faith towards God".
So who is the one by now still not able to take the more solid teaching? Rajk999.
The foundation of the basics include the very things Rajk999 rails against - "repentance from dead works and faith in God"
Watch Rajk999 now oppose "faith in God" and urge works without regard for abiding in the living Christ - ie. "dead works".
Watch him come after this post and put down "faith in God" and fight for "works" having nothing to do with abiding in and living in Christ. These are the "dead works" to be repented of.
It is the effect of the blood of Christ on the conscience that sprinkles an evil conscience from "dead works" to serve the LIVING God.
"How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from DEAD WORKS to serve the living God." (Hebrews 9:14)
@sonship saidWhat a load of bull. Paul said the MEAT is the ability to determine good and evil. Preaching MEAT is what you never do. You are a MIILKMAN. You continually suck milk like a baby and preach to others to suck your milk like babies.
Milk and Meat - Here is what Paul said [/quote]
blemish to God, purify your conscience from DEAD WORKS to serve the living God." (Hebrews 9:14)[/b]
The righteous according to Christ and meat-eaters according to Paul, preach the things concerning GOOD AND EVIL. In other words, they tell people how to do good and keep away from evil. Why? ... because these are the things which impact on whether or not you enter the Kingdom of God or cast out.
Milk drinkers get cast out, because all they have is knowledge. they hear, they know, they believe, but they do nothing.
Meat eaters enter the Kingdom of God because they DO they PRACTICE righteousness and good works.
Paul said the MEAT is the ability to determine good and evil.
The elements of being developed to discern between good and evil are to learn to repent from dead works to serve the living God.
In Hebrews
evil = dead works.
good = serve the living God.
I do not teach against "the word of righteousness" which the writer of Hebrews calls the "meat".
This thread happens to be more about the basics of avoiding "eternal judgment" (Heb.6:2)
I have no problem admitting that "eternal judgment" is listed as foundational in Hebrews 6:3.
The point of the milk of the word is that it causes GROWTH unto salvation. So Peter exhorted to long for the milk and continue to taste that the Lord is good. Why? To GROW into salvation. That is GROW not do as you do try to crawl in through the window and avoid the door.
Read the context of longing for the pure milk of the word in 1 Peter 2:1-3.
[b]"Therefore putting away all malice and all guile and hypocrisies and envyings and all evil speaking,
As newborn babes, long for the guileless milk of the word in order that by it you may grow unto salvation, If you have tasted that the Lord is good."
(1 Pet. 1-3) [b]
1.) Even before the exhortation to drink milk we are to put away-
malice, guile, hypocrisies, envyings, evil speakings.
2.) There is no flavor of "SIN while drinking milk".
3.) We may be Christians for a long time but never graduate from the need to eat and drink the living word of God and by it to GROW more unto salvation.
4.) Drinking the pure milk is never offered as an excuse to disobey the Lord Jesus.
That is the caricature YOU wish to maintain - Milk is DISOBEDIENCE .
Whenever I present the basics of coming into contact with the life, the living God so one can abide in the living Christ you quickly condemn that as evil.
Your "meat" is the opposition to the grace of God by which a man is saved AND by which a man continues to grow in Christ.
Hebrews is more about Avoid the Lose of Reward.
This thread is about Avoid Eternal Punishment.
"For Moses writes concerning the righteousness which is out of the law: "The man who does them shall live by them."
But the righteousness which is out of faith speaks in this way, Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?" that is, to bring Christ down; Or, "Who will descend into the abyss?" that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.
You can see here Paul is contrasting "the righteousness which is out of faith" with "the righteousness which is out of the law.".
Grace produces righteousness.
Grace produces righteousness for eternal redemption.
Grace also produces righteous living in practicality.
Avoiding Eternal Punishment through the righteousness which is out of faith:
"The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that is the word of faith which we preach."
Paul preaches both "the righteousness which is out of faith" and "the word of faith".
"That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." (Rom. 10:9)
Is this something any Christian should be ashamed of regurgitating to people?
I don't think so.
To walk in Christ you need a strong foundation in knowing Him as the living God and the living Savior who is divine life within you.
@sonship saidFOrtunately the wise Christian knows by now to avoid your once saved always sved garbage. Paul warned born-again Christian Saints to be wary of false crooks like you. There were people in the ecclesias preaching this nonsense and Paul said, that despite the Spirit of Grace, you still MUST LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY OTHERWISE YOU NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD:

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, .... .... who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:26-29 KJV)
For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

You misquote and misinterpret the critical teachings of the bible.
I asked you to identify the misquote.
Are you going to identify the misquote or go on to other accusations?
The MISQUOTE - WHAT WAS IT ?
The MISQUOTE - WHERE?, CUT AND PASTE IT IN that I may examine any misquoting I did.
Otherwise do not bear false witness.
You know retracting a false accusation is one way to assure yourself that that
character defect does not so easy become manifested again.
you still MUST LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY OTHERWISE YOU NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD:
You will not find one post of mine on this Forum stating that what you have written above is not true.
Find me one sample of me writing the unrighteous will inherit the kingdom of God.
You're stupid misunderstanding and twisting is still spewing out of your half truth telling mouth.
God's salvation and transformation GUARANTEE that every saved person CANNOT avoid eventually being conformed to the image of the Firstborn Son of God (Rom. 8:28,29).
Some ON TIME and rewarded.
Some LATE and suffer loss yet are saved as through fire.
You must be incapable of grasping this. It doesn't matter what passages I put before you. To the carnal mind the things of the Spirit are nonsense.
