Please forgive me I'm using my phone to post this. :eek:

Hard to understand a concept if it has no foundation in Scripture.

Has it? I'm cluless.  :dontknow:

Love Julie :HeartThrob:

It's my understanding that Bema is The Judgment Seat.  Check out Corinthians 5:10.

Didn't find no mention of BEMA there.

Where did you get that term, Bema?

So sorry I asked  :sigh:

Please know that Father did not put this in my heart to search. I did it to understand.

Mat 19:30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.


I cannot help but think that so many who are so quick to rush to judgment (on themselves) are in for one very big surprise.

Jesus laid his life down for everyone. Who wouldn't do the same here. We are all of one Spirit, for no one can build on a foundation not laid by Christ. Who want's a reward?  :sigh:  When a loved one, a brother, sister, etc. misses out. By the Grace of God, I am nothing without. I already have my reward and I will gladly share it with or give it to anyone, bar no one.

So sorry for my little rant but this is what has been given me. :HeartThrob:

Love Julie   :HeartThrob:


Read the following at your own risk


Judgment Seat Of Christ

The Bema Seat at Corinth
Bema is a Greek term meaning "judgment seat." In the city of Corinth, a stone platform was constructed to support the Bema seat (judgment seat) of the local officials. The seat was used to give out awards to athletes for their competitive performances (usually a crown wreath of leaves), but also to address legal charges brought against individuals. The great Apostle Paul was quite familiar with this seat. This is where he was brought before Gallio, who was the proconsul of Achaia at the Bema seat (Acts 18:12). This seat was also what Paul referred to in 2 Corinthians 5:9-11 as the "judgment seat of Christ." In this context, Paul explains to us that this is where the Christian will receive an evaluation for works done in the body, whether good or  bad.

Julie,
I'm sure no one is judging you for asking the question.  I ask questions all the time.  Most of the threads I start begin with a question.
