@sonship saidDid you get the impression that Jesus is interested in your knowledge ? You think the Good Samaritan had knowledge of millenial reign and New Jerusalem?
@Rajk999
In other words you don't know.
When ignorant - just threaten and threaten.
Scare your way out of your ignorance being exposed.
I got it.
You believe in your knowledge and you parade your knowledge around here like the Pharisees, but you have no clue what Jesus wants people to do. You are a failed Christian.
@Rajk999
You couldn't answer WHY there are two stages of reward - the millennial kingdom and the new heaven and new earth after the millennium and the full New Jerusalem.
And you can hide your ignorance now behind an accusation that someone who does know is parading knowledge like a Pharisee. That little tirade was just meant to make your superficial understanding of the Bible look good.
Why is there not just ONE period of compensation EITHER the millennial kingdom OR the eternity of the new heaven and new earth with the full New Jerusalem?
The reason is that God knew that if He grants salvation by grace only a minority will accept it with responsibility. So BEFORE the eternal age He established the 1,000 millennial kingdom as a reward to those who do not take grace for granted.
He established a preliminary period of reward to PRECEDE the eternal period of the gift.
"If anyone's work which he has built upon the foundation remains, he will receive a reward;
If anyone's work is consumed, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire." (1 Cor. 3:14,15)
This assures that ALL who called upon the Lord Jesus for salvation will be saved.
Of these some receive the reward of co-reigning in the millennial kingdom.
Of the rest they suffer loss , forgo this reward, yet are saved yet so as through fire. They are disciplined.
And neither the Good Samaritan parable or Matt. 25's sheep and goats teaching can nullify this clear teaching.
I think your only result is to grumble about Paul as if the synoptic Gospels do not show the same thing.

... is not in the bible. That is fabricated by Witless Lee and you foolishly gobble up his vomit.
@Rajk999
Hide behind the false alarm of handwaving about the name Witness Lee.
The sheer emotional disturbance may distract everyone from seeing that
1 Cor. 3:14,15 Clearly shows -
ALL SAVED = Some rewarded + Some who suffer loss but are saved.
But wave hands and shout Witness Lee!, Witness Lee!
Meanwhile 1 Cor. 3:14,15 REMAINS the word of God.

Rajk999 says there is nothing about taking grace for granted in the Bible.
And he says Witness Lee fabricated such a concept.

However the New Testament says in 2nd Cor. 6:1
" . . . we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain."
Many more references can be provided.
Rajk999, open your mouth and change your feet!
