OK... I still have these nagging questions:

Yeah. Ok. Whatever massah. You win this round. :BangHead: It ain't worth my time any longer.

 

Then explain why building the temple with wood hay and stubble is not defiling the temple. Why would God judge our works that we build upon the foundation if it were not possible to defile the temple?

The context is judging believers.

Just because you are not appointed unto wrath doesn't mean you can't experience wrath. All that says is that it is not God's will for you to experience wrath.

1 Corinthians 3:18
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

 

If 1 Cor 3:15-17 is so airtight for the ME camp, why are there no responses to posts 111, 123, 125 and 133.

 

Yes. I am saying Paul has answered those questions. But you must seek elsewhere for that answer. Precept upon precept, line upon line, etc. Familiar with that one?

It is YOUR OWN camp who decries building a whole doctrine on one passage! Silly goose.

 

The temple in ch 3 is the church.

 

What/who is a "Silly goose?"

 

Ya think maybe that is because there are apporximately two posts showing up in this thread every minute? Ya think?

Ya think maybe it takes a bit more that 60 seconds to type out a reply to each post? Ya think? Huh? Ya think?:BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: Ya think maybe some get lost on this carnival ride? Ya think????

 

I am now convinced you are no longer interested in dialogue. I try to "lighten" things up and you ..................................................................

Nevermind. You sir are really close to being only the second person in my history here to gain the dubious honor of being on my iggy list. Please. Be a bit reasonable, huh?

 

1. There're some who might think that it is a literal judgment that we see at a courthouse. But I think that is a stretch, and we not appreciating how metaphors work.

2. The JSOC simply means that Christ is our appointed judge and we have an appointment with him.

3. BTW, 1 Cor 3 is the text under consideration.

 

Amen brother. Nor does it guarantee that all will be unified in doctrine. Mid-trib, post-trib, pre-trib, no-trib, pre-mil, post-mil, a-mil, etc. But all are Christ's who believe as it is written.

 

1. No need to get heated if no harm was intended.

2. Personally, I don't use those terms, and I have to wonder when others use them in a discussion with me. That is all.

 

Skypair;
Servants are not always unbelieving Jews. Paul, himself a Jew but a believer, referred to himself many times as a servant. He also referred to gentile believers as servants. Therefore, to "rightly divide" this passage by saying it is exclusively for Jews is in error. But you and Rufus continue on. I will try to stay out of it. And much more dizzy ride is happening elsewhere in this thread for me. See ya later bro!

 

What would make you say that, other than the belief that God would never threaten a disobedient believer with Hell?

 

OK. No foul no harm.

Moving on. Are you now willing to concede that for this doctrine to be established in any reasonable manner one must take a number of passages into account and thereby establishing its veracity in the whole of Scripture, or not?

For to limit ANY doctrine by ONE passage, well, it just isn't wise at all. Agreed? If not then this is a futile effort on BOTH your part and ours.
