I am going to go back today and re-read your posts and tell you how I view what you wrote, I enjoy reading what you say
But I have to wake up some more first.

Claudia, I got you beat. I NEVER WENT TO SLEEP. :laugh:
Well I dozed for about half an hour, but I wasn't asleep enough to wake up.
Oh well.
Oh yeah, go to the Name that Quote thread and take a few guesses.
The Scripture doesn't say this. Why do you add to the Scripture? It is important not to add to the Scripture something that is not there. You don't get to "roll your own" on theology.

you are making a big deal out of something that isnt.... the Bible says something about those who have washed their robes... just go with that.
people have already talked and been through the fact they dont actually have robes in the portrayal. we already know that.
It is just that a long time ago I had been doing some studying with some Christian friends about the parable of the Ten Virgins and we had discovered that when it talks about the wedding garment... everyone is supposed to have their wedding garment ON...
The followers of Christ are to "wait for their Lord, when he will return from the wedding." [LUKE 12:36.] But they are to understand his work, and to follow him by faith as he goes in before God. It is in this sense that they are said to go in to the marriage.
I just forgot that people here havent studied into all of that... IM SORRY!! okay already!
they are SUPPOSED to have their white robes on and lamps burning..
Luke 12:
35: Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36: And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37: Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Mt:22:12: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Mt:25:1: Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

It was stated earlier that
There are times when one will go to convention that lasts for 3 days or sometimes more. That one may stay in every meeting with a sincere heart toward God, fully consumed in his own hunger to learn of Christ, taking captive any imaginations that are contrary to a sanctified walk with the Lord.
If indeed that one has done that, he or she has not sinned, but being in full submissive obedience to God is walking holy before the Lord.
It is possible to go without sinning for a day, or two, or maybe even more if we will fully submit to God.
Am I saying I don't sin? No. Somedays the battle with the flesh is great and I do find myself doing the very evil I would not.
While I agree the one professing Christ is to confess sin (all all should), I disagree that we sin every day.

It isn't a big deal to say something that Scripture doesn't say? Boy we live in a different world.
Perhaps had that been the point of the parable Christ would have said that. The fact that he didn't means it is not necessary to understand for this parable.
Perhaps you are bringing that into a passage that it does not exist in. Studying a passage means finding out what it says and what it means. It does not mean importing other things into it.
Pastor Larry 
we can see now that the parable of the ten virgins doesnt actually say they had white robes on.
thanks for reminding us again of that.
1Cor:2:13: Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
thats how I study the Bible but you are welcome to study it any way you see fit.

This is a verse about the divine origin of Scripture, not about adding to the word of God. This verse in its context refutes you adding your wisdom to the passage.
Actually, no one is welcome to study it as they see fit. They are to study it as God gave it, with the words conveying the meaning. You don't get to add to it because it sounds spiritual.
