Matthew 7:5
You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

1 John 4:20
If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God who ...[text shortened]... ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
We all know who this post is for, but that person is likely "not inclined" to bother reading.
Way too much trouble.

This is true.

Many refuse to accept the fact that in Matthew 13:36-43 Jesus makes clear the dividing line between those who will be thrown into "the blazing furnace" vs. those who "will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father":

That dividing line is "all who do evil" which of course is "everyone who commits sin".

From what I can tell, you are one of those who refuse to accept this fact. Do you not see the hypocrisy in this?

Jesus says it applies to workers of iniquity, evildoers, unprofitable servants. Paul says the same thing.

But sonship says it applies to nonChristians.
Do you think that sonship is one of those who KellyJay had in mind when he said, "You'll see that many refuse to accept many things in scripture that they don't like..."?

What about himself?

Self blame, deep regret.
Possibly even the hating of one's self for foolishness of a squandered opportunity.

Relentless love of the self contrary to acceptance of God's love suddenly gives way to hatred of the rebelling self.
Excellent post.

This description is likely 'what' hell is. Not a place, but agony.

Even if you had the finest wine, finest steak and finest cigar, you cannot enjoy it, due to heartache.

The same can be said for squandering love in this life.

Obviously our thoughts can get out of control. I'm wondering why.

They both ignore Christ for the most part, only take little tidbits that suits them.

Sonship said clearly recently that all Christians [anyone professing faith with their mouth], are judged already and they have secured their eternal life.

I would like to see where Jesus said that.

No. They only amplify what already is there.
