Different Rewards In Heaven

[webdog]

I never said that we don't receive a reward I said we all receive the same reward, whatever it is Christ earned not us. How easy it is to put words in the mouth of others.

Where does Scripture say we all receive the same reward? Don't you recall the parable of the 10 minas?

I never even suggested that sin will in any way enter Heaven you did. You surmised that it was jealousy when all you had to do was consider the shame that would be the result if I don't do the work to receive the reward you do. The sin was in your mind not mine. And what exactly have I accused you of?

That is comparing myself to others...which is also a sin. Same difference.

It is quite clear that there are different degrees of punishment in Hell. I have no problem with that it is Scripture. Rewards are by the work of Christ alone and punishment are for what we do. Let me ask another question. What work have you done that you think deserves a reward from God?

This violates the law of continuity. If there are differing degrees of Hell, why would there not be differing levels in Heaven?
To answer the question...I don't know, that is up to God to decide when I get there. I am called to be obedient and imitate Christ.

Everywhere. It is the teaching of the whole of the Scriptures.

Don't you recall the parable of the 10 minas?

Not sure which one you are reffering to could you give the reference? The word minas isn't a familiar one in the Greek and I prefer the KJV. So I am sure I am familiar with the parable but not as you name it.

That is comparing myself to others...which is also a sin. Same difference.

Explain how comparing myself to others is a sin. If other's good works expose my lack of them and humbles and shames me how is that a sin?

This violates the law of continuity.

I am not familiar with the law of continuity. Did you just make that up? I am familiar with the law of noncontradiction though and differing degrees of punishment doesn't contradict no degrees of rewards. One is the just wage of rebellion the other the riches of grace.

If there are differing degrees of Hell, why would there not be differing levels in Heaven?

See my last statement.

So you think you have done something that deserves a reward from God then.

Well, we must not be reading the same Bible, or you are seeing something that is not there.

Luke 19

Explain how comparing myself to others is a sin. If other's good works expose my lack of them and humbles and shames me how is that a sin?

Christ is to be our measuring rod...not other finite humans.

No, I did not make it up...Gestalt did, but I actually meant law of consistency.

So you think you have done something that deserves a reward from God then.

No idea how you got that from my answer, but in order to store up treasure in Heaven, wouldn't we have some king of understanding how that is done?
