Who was Jesus speaking to??? Was there a single Christian in the bunch???
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory.
Where is Jesus coming to in his glory??? He's coming to the earth...To set on a throne, on the earth...That's what Jesus really says about it...
32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
All the nations will be gathered before Jesus, on the earth...That's what Jesus really says...
34“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
Jesus tells the people that are blessed to take their inheritance, which is the Kingdom...They don't get the Kingdom until Jesus sets on the throne, on earth, separating the nations...
If this section applies to you, you are a long way off from the Kingdom...It ain't your religion...That's what Jesus really said...
35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?
39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
Who are these guys...Are you one of these guys???
40“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’
Well if you are one of the above group, You are NOT one of Jesus' brothers...So who are you...And who are the brothers??? You certainly can't be brothers of the brothers...You can't be both...So who are they??? And who are you???
41“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
So if you don't feed Jesus' brothers and buy them clothes and visit them in prison, you go to hell...
44“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
These obviously are people who acknowledge Jesus as Lord but Jesus doesn't acknowledge them... And why's that???
Because these people didn't first look to take care of Jesus' brothers...
So the sheep are non Christians that took care of the Christians (Jesus' brothers) and they were rewarded with eternal life??? Notice they are not taking care of non brothers (Christians?)...
46“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” Where did Chrst sy their faith would save them? Let's be literal here.
First, you have to read what Jesus really did say...It's like you condensed the entire episode into, 'Real Christians gain eternal life by doing good works...Fake Christians that don't do good works go to hell...The end'...
Judith, there is so much more in those passages that you clearly never even considered... You aren't any where near close to understanding what Jesus really said...
You can't just skip over the thing and run with it...You have to find out who the brothers are...You have to find out who the sheep and goats are...You need to understand the Kingdom Jesus is referring to...
You have to notice that this takes place in the company of God's chosen people the Jews...There's not a Christian in the whole lot...You must notice that there has not been a crucifixion, and much more...And then, you must:
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Now you won't find that command in any Catholic bible...And for good reason...
God didn't make it so simple that all you had to do was read a verse or a group of verses to understand what he really had to say...
Where is tha in scripture?
2 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Now you won't find that command in any Catholic bible...And for good reason...
Wrong! You will find that in the expected place in the Douay Rheims Bible. It's difficult to trust someone to tell the truth in a discussion when they have no regard for accuracy in the little things, like whether or not a verse is in the "Catholic" Bible.
