Hi Joey,
Luke 19
22"His master replied, 'I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant!
This reminds me of minister, pastors and other theological 'experts' who use the word of god in a mistranslated, fit-the-doctirine way in propagating untruths about the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel, turning it into bad news of a hellish afterlife and Jesus as the saviour of only 'some'. What are these men, if only in their own minds, but the servants of God?
Luke 12
46The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
Again with reference to what I said above and these scriptures:
Matt 7:22
Many will tell me in that day,'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?
and the answer:
23 Then I will tell them,'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
I don't know if this is correct, it's just that when I read it and thought about it, it's the scriptures came into my mind, even though I had to look up where they were.
thought provoking post tho!
Joey Porter:
Thanks to everyone for the kind replies.

Regarding those above verses - they remind me of how I used to think that the "wolves in sheep's clothing" would be people who deliberately and deceitfully preach false doctrine for evil motives. But now I realize that any of us could be wolves in sheep's clothing, and we probably have been at certain times in our lives. I'm sure that most of the wolves out there don't even realize they're wolves. They probably preach frequently about being aware of the wolves, not even realizing that they themsleves are wolves! Remember when Jesus called the Pharisees children of the devil. The scriptures certainly don't indicate that they were holding sceances and tattooing pentagrams on their bodies. No, they were shocked and apalled that He could make such a claim. But nevertheless, we know it's true because He said it.
As far as how the wolves will be judged - I have often wondered (not to get too negative or critical here), but I have often wondered if Calvinists will be judged by their own words and led to believe that they were one of the many who were predestined to burn in hell forever. Perhaps judgmental and self righteous protestants who love to condemn catholics to hell for their erroneous beliefs, perhaps those protestants will be led to believe that the catholics were right and they (the protestants) are on their way to hell. One verse that always stays in my mind:
James 2
13because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful.

So Joey,
You then believe hell is forever?
