What is your interpretation of this?
Do you think that Jesus is judging based on works, or on faith in Him?
Jim, any Scripture that calls upon any of the elect to push back from their Catholic bashing keyboards and actually actually respond to the call to Beatitude is obviously wrongly divided and intended only for the Chooooze. All Paul tells us to do is to declare ourselves saved, point a bony finger and condemn everyone we judge to not measure up. After all, once we have fabricated established the power to judge ourselves, judging others is an obligatory piece of cake. [SARC]
No interpretation required...Only belief...And scripture study comparing scripture with scripture...
Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him,
Has the Son of man come in his glory??? No he hasn't...And ALL the angels with him??? Until someone figures that one out, that someone is NOT qualified to comment on any thing else...
then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
When Jesus comes again, with ALL the angels, he will sit on his throne of glory...And it ain't happened yet...But when it does, then you can start applying the rest of those verses...
And more.....
Mat 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Your religion couldn't touch this verse with a light beam...And you can rest assured that it didn't happen yet...But it will...
You're better of sticking with your 'tradition'...You'll just hurt yourself with scripture, until you learn to believe it...
