No. 723:
Is it legitimate to commit adultery for being "hung" out or otherwise feel unfairly treated or harassed?!
Picture
of me and my beautiful wife Berit I have 27 years of living with, and
no other, I have neither been married or have children. This is the most important criterion one may have to possess a spiritual ministry in the church of God, to be a woman's man.
Had an exchange of mail with Kjell Andersen who run the site Søkelys.Com. Here's email from him:
I thought you should seriously reconsider the whole blog and your business now, it seems counterproductive. My experience is simply that many have sympathy with those who are remarriage and in key positions because of your blog.

Reply from me here on the blog:
1 Cor. 4 1 Then shall you regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Of the managers required that they be found trustworthy. 3 But to me it means nothing if I am judged by you or by any human court. I am not my own judgments. 4 For I know of nothing wrong I've done. But I am not thereby acquitted, for the Lord is the one who judges me. 5 Therefore judge not before the time, until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the thoughts. Then God will give all the praise he deserves.
I have two major goals in life.
1) Be saved, to experience sluttfrelsen.
2) Get full pay on the day I will stand before Christ with my life.
The biggest is of course to share in sluttfrelsen, the second largest is getting full pay and hear on that day: Matt. 24
45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made
ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes back! 47 Verily I say unto you, he will set him over all his goods.
We must stand within its judgment seat of Christ, in an article I wrote about this:
God;
The Bible speaks of God's court on several occasions, also for nations. Let's briefly look at these (three) different judicial actions:
Judgment Seat of Christ
This I have obtained from Toralf Gilbrandt: 1 Corinthians 3.11 to 15 we read:
"For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. But
if anyone on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood,
hay, straw, then the work everyone has done, be revealed. The day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire. How it works is that everyone has done, the fire shall try. About the edifice that one has raised, remains, he shall receive a reward. Burning his work up, he will lose his salary. But he himself shall be saved, yet so as through fire. "
From
this we see that the rapture not only speaks of a blessed hope and a
delightful appetizer, Rapture is also closely related to the great
reckoning when we must give responsibility before the living God.
Judgment Seat of Christ is the judgment of God. It represents a judicial action different from the great white throne judgment that will take place after the Millennium. When
the white throne wicked men of judgment and perdition, but by that time
the faithful already been with the Lord for more than a thousand years.
Judgment
Seat of Christ is also a judicial action different from the judgment of
the nations that will take place here on earth before the millennium
will be created. Then
the King will clean out of his kingdom those who cause harm and offense
- he will decide who will take part in God's kingdom to be established
on earth. This
judicial action applies ie people who are still alive on earth, while
the judgment of the great white throne depicts the dead who stand before
God after heaven and earth have passed away.
Another kind of judgment
Judgment Seat of Christ is something different from both of these judgments. Christ's court is a court only for believers.
It's maybe those who will object: But did not Jesus say that whoever believes in him should not come into judgment? How then can Paul say that we all shall be revealed judgment seat of Christ. Yes, both are true and correct. The believer is not condemned with the world. There
is no salvation or damnation to be decided for our part, understand
judgment seat of Christ, there is the matter of pay or lose pay. To take an example:
There
is a big difference between the judge who sits in a courtroom and judge
crimes and the judge who runs with a whistle on the football field, and
approve sports achievements.
The
Bible tells us that believers will be judged in three different ways:
As a growing salvation sins were judged by our conversion, when we
recognized our sins and was justified through the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus. In this judicial action or acquittal rests our salvation. Second, can a believer be judged as children of God or his sons during our journey through life. Paul
says: "When we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord that we should
not be condemned with the world." God disciplines us to lead us in
cognition and that we may share in his holiness. Thirdly, we as believers be judged as servants. And it is this judgment that takes place at the Judgment Seat of Christ. God is not only our Savior and Heavenly Father, He is also our Lord. He will require his servants to account for what he has given each one.
Settlement
This
judicial action is called in the Bible God's court judgment seat of
Christ, "day", that day our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the first Epistle
of John 4:17 is called the "Judgment Day" - also for the believers there
will be a reckoning and judgment day .
The sample before Christ's tribunal will therefore take place after the rapture. Several
things indicate that it will happen quite soon after encouraging, at
least, we see that before the marriage of the Lamb to be celebrated, the
bride dressed in spotlessly white linen which is the righteousness of
saints - then life's work thus tested by God. And
we find that even before the tribulation breaks loose on earth, they
have 24 elders sitting on thrones before God got their money handed
over. It will happen on "that day" says the apostle Paul.
When we presented judgment seat of Christ is the believer already perfected and transformed. We have reached the goal of our faith, the soul's eternal salvation. We are there for our glorious resurrection bodies. Although the pay is not yet settled, then our salvation is assured. We will also be perfected and sanctified through and through. Therefore no attempt to justify or excuse himself any mistake in itself. We will even give God right about everything and see and judge as he does.
This
decision acknowledge Christ court may not take place until all the
believers of the Old Testament and from the church's time gathered
there. The whole church of God must be there. There
is the issue of reward to be determined, and the price can not be
distributed until all participating in the race has finished. Therefore awaits the saints who have died that we will finish our race. It's also about the saints of the old time that they can not be made perfect without us. And the apostle Paul knew that he had to wait until "that day" before he could receive the crown of righteousness.
The large accounting day
This is the great day of reckoning for all of us.
He who shall judge the Lord, the righteous judge. He should come themselves and fetch us to his house, and he will even decide the question of reward to his servants. It's good to know that there comes a day when the last decisive and fair words shall be said in any case. Then each of us take God accounting for themselves.
What should be judged is the life work of faith. It is in the sense not our sins to be judged, but our "work". Sin is not there as condemnation reason, it is cleaned away the blood of Jesus we have been forgiven for it. We read that it was built on the foundation that should be tested. It is our service to God to be judged.
Our words and deeds must be tested. It's
going to go very carefully for himself, for we read that for every idle
words shall be taken accounting - and every cup of cold water given in
love to be rewarded (end of quote).
The judgment of the nations in the valley of Jehoshaphat
Matt. 25
31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him,
then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And all the nations
will be gathered before him. He
will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep
from the goats: 33 And the sheep to his right and the goats on the
left.
34
Then shall the King say unto them on his right, 'Come, you who are
blessed by my Father, and take possession of the kingdom that is
prepared for you from the foundation. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger and you welcomed me; 36 I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I
was in prison and you visited me. "37 Then the righteous will answer,
'Lord, when did we see you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and give
you drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked, and clothed thee? 39
And when did we see you sick or in prison, and came unto thee? "40 And
the King will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one
of these my brethren, you did for me."
41
Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, ye cursed, into
the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry, but you gave me no food; I was thirsty, but you gave me no drink; 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; I was without clothes, but ye clothed me not; I
was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me. '44 Then they will
answer,' Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or
naked or sick or in prison, to help you? "45 But he will
answer them, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of
these least, ye did it not to me. "46 And these shall go away into
everlasting punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.
"I
will enter into judgment with them because of Israel, my people and my
heritage, because they have scattered them among the nations and divided
up My land" (Joel 3:7).
At
the beginning of the 1000 year kingdom will all nations be judged in
relation to their treatment of Jews and the nation of Israel. Bl. A. by helping Jews and by defending Israel's right to own land and their own sovereignty. We must remember that it is only Israel that had "Palestine" as an independent country, no other throughout history. Therefore,
to go against the facts here is to go against God himself when he says
about this country that it is his own and it belongs to the carnal
Israel. When Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Enlarge speak out, it is without doubt Ante-Christian forces that trigger him. He says he'll run Palestinian Arabs, but not a penny to Israel. This is and remains Satan's strategy, do not support Israel, but the Arabs!
Ezekiel 38 16 You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land; in
the last days it shall be, then I will bring thee against my land, that
the heathen may know me, when I before their eyes sanctified in thee, O
Gog!
The Peoples do not know what they are getting to grips with. It is not only Judah and Israel they get to opponents, but the Lord himself will fight against them in judgment. The judgment of the nations also means that the Gentiles are fulfilled. Now is the time for the Lord left to take care of their own people. But first, ie Jerusalem become a cup of trembling unto all nations. They shall besiege Jerusalem and it will be a very distressing to Judah.
But amidst this distress will be a cry to the Lord. It
is something that constantly recurs throughout the history of Israel:
"In their affliction they repented the LORD God of Israel. They searched him, and he was found of them "(2 Chronicles 15:4).
The
prophet Zechariah speaks of how this will happen, "Behold, I will make
Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding nations. When the siege against Jerusalem, shall even go out of Judah. It will happen in that day will I make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all peoples. All who lift it will hurt themselves.
Yes, all the earth be gathered against them. On that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness. But the house of Judah will I opplate my eyes and all peoples horses, I will smite with blindness. Governors of Judah shall say in his heart, the inhabitants of Jerusalem have strength through the LORD of hosts, their God!
In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among wood, and a ildbluss among sheaves. They shall devour all the people round about, on the right and left. And Jerusalem people will still stay in its place, in Jerusalem. The
Lord shall save the tents of Judah first, that the house of David and
the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be greater than the glory of Judah.
In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. The sometimes those who stumble, at that day shall be as David. And the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. On that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
The
house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, I will pour out the
Spirit of grace and prayer, and then they look up to me whom they have
pierced. And
they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only son, and complain
because of him as a petitioner of his firstborn "(Zech. 12:2-10).
Upon
a closer examination of Jehoshaphat's battle against Moab, and the
Ammonites (2 Chron. 20), one should find that this violation in a
substantial manner similar to the battle of Armageddon. All warfare availed nothing in this war, the enemy army destroyed himself in that one turned his sword against the other. "And
the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the people of victories
roller (edomiterne) to destroy them and destroy them: and when they had
made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped one against the
other, to destroy each other" ( 2 Chron. 20: 23). It was a gudsdom, Lord variance from above.
We
must notice this assembly when in the following tales about the battle
of Armageddon, and we must be clear eyes that controversy will race
around Jerusalem, which in reality is the people's major storm centrum. Otherwise
will "battle from above" get to race on a continuous stretch from south
to north, from Bozrah among Wins rock in the country of Edom to the
mountain in the north garland Megiddo. Isaiah pointed this out in Chapter 63, when he says:
"Who
is this who comes from Edom, With garments from Bozrah, this which is
so honorable in his garment, towering in the fullness of his power?
Mig's it, I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save. - Why is your
garment then red, and thy garments like its there tread the winepress?
-
Pers Karr I have trodden alone, and the people were not with me, so I
entered them in my anger and trampled asunder them in my fury, as
Sprøiten their juices (blood) on my clothes, and all my robe I got
tarnished.
Joel 3.17 to 21, we have the image of a harvest, but here is the picture of reckoning when God makes up evil.
17 The Gentiles shall wake up and go to the valley of Jehoshaphat. For there I will sit to judge all the heathen round about. 18 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe! Come and tread the winepress, for it is full, the vats will overflow over - their wickedness is great. 19 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision. For the LORD is near in the valley of decision today. 20 Sun and moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. 21 The LORD will roar from Zion, he shall utter his voice from Jerusalem. Heaven and earth will tremble. But the Lord is a refuge for his people, and the strength of Israel.
Who will judge? Jesus and we are believers. There will be no representatives of us, that will be the judge here and all the other judgments. Also, when the angels shall be judged.
1 Cor. 6 2 Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you not able to judge the small things? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? Then you could judge in the matters of this life.
Judgment before the white throne
Obvious. 20 11 I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it. Earth and sky melted away before him and was no longer. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their works. 13
The sea gave now its dead, and death and Hades gave up the dead who
were there, and all were judged according to their works. 14 Then death and Hades cast into the lake of fire - and the lake of fire, which is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Jude
14 It was also about them that Enoch Adams descendant in the seventh
paragraph, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with his holy
angels in their thousands 15 To execute judgment upon all, and claim all
the wicked accountable for all the wicked deeds of the 've
done and for all defiant words they have made against him, the wicked
sinners. "16 They are rebels who complain about their fate, but live
according to their desires. They brag and use big words and flatter others when they have the benefit of it.
2 Pet. 3 8 But one thing, my dear, do not forget: For the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. 9 It is not as if the Lord is slow to fulfill his promise, as some believe. No, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 day of the Lord will come like a thief. Then
the heavens will pass away with a roar, the elements will be dissolved
with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it shall be burned
up.
11
And now everything will fall apart, how holy and godly, you should not
live, 12 while you are waiting for the day of God shall come, and
accelerate it. Then the heavens consumed by fire and the elements burn and melt. 13 But we look forward to what he has promised: new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
We
have embarked on a very large topic but in this article, the main focus
will be on what happens to all the wicked and unbelievers after death? And especially the very end. Now when people die they come either to paradise or hell, waiting for either salvation or doom. The believers to Paradise and non-believers to hell. But the very end, what then?
I have been taught to believe (my background is in free friends \ Pentecostal) that people will be tormented forever.
And learn and think not it is a heresy. But what teaches the word of God?
Jesus said it himself.
Matt. 10 28 Be not afraid of them that kill the body but can not kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Here it is right that the Father may destroy, destroy and destroy people in the lake of fire or hell. We read from the text that there are so man can kill and kill the body. But only God can dead \ kill \ destroy \ obliterate them both; soul and body!
We also Paul says about the same.
Rooms. 6 23 The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
When the wages of sin is death means separation so it must mean eternal separation from God. And
when we start comparing other scriptures we come to the conclusion that
there is no question of eternal torment literally as an eternal
punishment. But
the extinction of all who do not have their names written in the Book
of Life of the Lamb, even Satan and all evil spirits included. What
about eternal torment in Revelation 20.10 which must be the last word
as if those who believe in God to torment and destroy mankind and all
the demons and Satan in the end?
There is no word in Hebrew or Greek meaning "eternal" (which never expires). In Jewish thought, which the Scriptures have their origin, are all seen in ages / n / ne / adj; tidsalderlig. ... - Eph. 2; 7:
How wild he (YHWH) in the coming ages (g: a rubbish aiosin) show His
overwhelming grace Wealth of kindness toward us in Yeshua HaMashiavch ..
/ 2 Thes. 1,
9: .. their punishment (the ugjenfødte) a tidsalderlig (aionion)
destruction away from Adonay's face and from His Glory and Power.
The Hebrew; olam
and the Greek, aion (eon), signifying nothing "disappears on the
horizon. Something for man" incalculable. "It is only YHWH & Yeshua
who know the time span's length, for every age - and the time length of
the ages for each other, and the He reveals it through his Spirit, when it is easy.
When
it comes tidsalderlig torment for the devil spirits and ugjenfødte /
disobedient) - in the age of all (eoniske) fire, as this denotes a
painful process of destruction (by fire), resulting in complete
obliteration / annihilation. It is only YHWH knows the duration (the length) of this punishment / destruction process.
This
translation blunder hangs sometimes after church needs to ("reinforce
fear" - scare the population to pay indulgences and support (submit to)
the church and church doctrine. - Each is a product of Greek pagan
philosophical thinking.
In our time is the church Bible translators still too cowardly to translate olam / aion, correct; age / eon / time-span / adjective; tidsalderlig / eonisk / persistent / (long) lived. It
is the churches and the church that pays their salary, and the churches
are addicted to maintain the "tradition" to exist, including the
u-biblical and erroneous - deliberately!
I
have certainly come to the conclusion that the words aion and olam both
speak of an infinitely long period of time, which is also translated as
forever, so we put in the word. When it comes to word aionos, so this seems to be used in the sense of infinity without end. But this is like saying difficult. I see that many (the majority) of the Bible teachers and scripture has landed on the aionos means eternal and infinite. So do we have the phrase "Aion ton aionon" which means "forever" or "forever and forever." What
I mean is that this "destruction" process will be as long lasting, it
is natural to compare it with an eternity - because the fire burning all
the time, as long as there is nothing to burn.
It is therefore not strange that it can be difficult to interpret the "hell fire". It was a place outside Jerusalem, one waste place called "Hell" (Gehenna). This landfills burned continuous fire, to burn up the waste. It was also burned corpses of criminals. This
place is in the New Testament and over in history, used as a picture of
the punishment that would come across people who do evil deeds. - There was a lot of evil in life, and the hope of many was that God would hold a fair trial. In a society marked by violence and injustice, eg. Ancient
Israel, I think that's not so strange that people elaborate this with
hell fire and punishment seem so terribly cruel that it is possible to
imagine. Penalties shall also act as a deterrent, and intends to people with an "evil agenda" to refrain from their actions.
For
me, not a show about a good God could unite with him to let people be
tortured continuously for all eternity, even if they have been guilty of
evil acts. - But we have this righteousness. The fact that God will hold a fair trial? How should this be interpreted? I think this is the judgment that is "final", that it is an end, not "perpetual".
Conclusion:
Forever is a long and everlasting 2x correctly translated from Hebrew \ grsk is an age of time. Or a time that only God the Father knows. As Jesus said on his return that it knows only the Father when He comes again.
Jesus is coming back at this era is over. So it is with the Father's ultimate extinction and tilintelsesgjørelse of all evil and Satan with his demons.
It will take an age \ era \ (g: a rubbish aiosin) to perform this work.
We
read in Scripture that night shall cease to stand for evil, be
biledelig speech that one day all traces of the evil and wicked deeds,
and them being gone.
Obvious. 22 5 night will be no more, neither will they be used for the light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
God the Father himself knows the time and how this will happen, but the biblical doctrine is not eternal torment forever. But a literal annihilation that it happened to Sodom and Gomarra says Judas in his letter.
Jude
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around, that just as these
fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an
example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. What happened to Sodom and Gomarra? They got a deadly criminal who destroyed them because contained living.
1.Mos.b.19. 24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire - from the LORD out of heaven - down on Sodom and Gomorrah. 25 And he overthrew those cities and all the plain and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
27 Early in the morning Abraham went to the place where he had stood before the LORD. 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; when he saw the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.
It was Sodom and Gomara wiped with an eternal flame. After what God's word teaches us about the eternal fire!
It has all the people waiting to have their names written in the Book of Life of the Lamb. An eternal destruction as they got. It was like a furnace.
How
will it happen with all the wicked in the judgment understands the
white throne who do not have their names written in the book. Everything that came in there melted and became "a" with the bathroom. How it will happen to the wicked at the day of judgment.
Matt.3. 12
He has his winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will purify his floor
and gather his wheat laden, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable
fire.
When it comes to faith, we will not understand sentence.
But our lives will be judged and we may lose pay or receive a full reward
This is the biblical teaching about the eternal fire.
What
I mean is that this "destruction" process will be as long lasting, it
is natural to compare it with an eternity - because the fire burning all
the time, as long as there is nothing to burn.
And the pain will of God the Father's heart something very like have provided a solution for all people. And Jesus will also suffer when his sacrifice was for all.
For
us men have by far the greatest suffering and anguish be with this if
we do not get our fleshly family with the path to heaven and all the
other people that we care about and love!
Final Comment:
For me it's not just about doing to be saved, but to get full pay.
2 Joh.b. 8 Beware lest you lose what you have worked for, but receive a full reward.
I will not lose any pay, therefore I strive to live by the word of God in all aspects. And teach others the same. Do not in any way turn on the word of God, either in mine or someone else's life!
