sharing this as I said ,  wonderful to learn, you might already know this , but it is new to me

about biding and loosing sins and forgiveness and  being corrected by the Lord .

keys to the kingdom  matt 16

Peter?s Confession of Christ
(Mark 8:27?30; Luke 9:18?20; John 6:67?71)

13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: ?Who do people say the Son of Man is??

14They replied, ?Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.?

15?But what about you?? Jesus asked. ?Who do you say I am??

16Simon Peter answered, ?You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.?

17Jesus replied, ?Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.

  18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

  19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.?

the rock solid truth is believing in Jesus Christ , the first born among the dead , One of a kind and first fruits of the new creation  nothing can stop this TRUTH

  what is the binding and loosing ?  releasing sins by forgiveness  , Jesus holy nature   and binding  holding one accountable to teach and  admonish


  the wrath of God abides on the children of disobedience ,its not the devil or evil spirits but Gods way to teaching us obedience is better than sacrifices

  JESUS sacrifice is all   GOD will accept  we must abide OBEY  in Him

one example of loosing sins was Stephens  death , a holy one  being full of the Holy Spirit  , his obedience was unto death of his flesh  , do not hold this to their charge

  making him alive forever more.


another example  is Paul's   holding  and loosing

14 Alexander the coppersmith did me great wrongs. The Lord will pay him back for his actions.


15 Beware of him yourself, for he opposed and resisted our message very strongly and exceedingly.

16 At my first trial no one acted in my defense [as my advocate] or took my part or [even] stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them!

17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the [Gospel] message might be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was delivered out of the jaws of the lion.

18 [And indeed] the Lord will certainly deliver and draw me to Himself from every assault of evil.   


I saw what Paul says here , the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ keeps us from evil .

He will preserve and bring me safe unto His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen (so be it)

Binding and loosing (as far as I can tell) here is about Peter (the 'rock' (foundation) which the ecclesia is built upon) getting the 'keys' to the kingdom to make decisions on whether to 'allow' or 'not allow' certain things into it.

But it applies to all to some extent... Simply put; whatever people: 'allow' in their 'lives' (soul) (inner-person) it will be their experience/wages (reap = sow). - It can't be any other way.  :dontknow:  God is just. 
The 'wheels' are in motion (so to speak), and we may indeed get a lemon, but it's up to us to make a lemonade (turn the water to wine).

Paul spoke about people permitting other people to (happily) slap them over the face, exploit them (etc), - yet they rejected what was good for them, (whilst thinking they were wise and boasting).  (2 Corinthians 11:19).
- They will experience the consequences of what they accepted and what they rejected within themselves (soul/heavens)... aionan, for as long as they dwell in folly.

Jesus spoke about people 'straining' at a gnat but swallowing a camel.
Etc.

There are 'better' resurrections and 'LIFE' for sure; and much of it is to do with what people accept and reject.
...Rejecting truth/Christ isn't good!

Also; we can only make PROPER (well-informed!) decisions when we KNOW the truth (that is: 'Christ').
Peter recognized God in Christ (had the full truth) and thusly was 'qualified' to make such decisions. 
But it all depends how much someone has been 'given'. - To those given more - more will be asked of them. - Some are working for the kingdom now... Unawares!

I?ve noticed you?ve been asking this very same question many times, already. To answer bluntly, no there aren?t any Bible verses that explicitly mention any second chances after death. However, it?s implied, especially since the NT states God will ultimately be all in all (1 Cor 15:28), and that he makes ALL new (Rev 21:5?there?s no Greek word for ?things? in that verse.). The earliest Christians believed in the doctrine of reserve, and many early apostles, disciples, and church fathers taught universalism was viable, but didn?t want to preach it from the rooftops to not give people a license to sin.

I have been looking into  your query Ross

All this before the New heaven and earth .
I wonder if the new city is created in the 1000 years/millennium

I wonder

   How can the new Jerusalem be the bride of Christ if she is the mother of us all?

  I am having some real questions on this 

Brides are not mothers ? 
I am still searching the scriptures

:thumbsup:
Spiritual difference to the flesh is reality.
1 Corinthians 2:14-16
Agree about the concept that there is that one taken is transferred to the kingdom of God yet is still right next to family and friends who have not yet experienced that transfer.
Also consider the reality of those taken as first fruit before the millennium and those who are not watching the event. That would demonstrate that the changes are reality with no more speculation or varying opinions

I totally agree with this.

I believe (according to the scriptures) that one 'day' our souls will be resurrected accordingly as to how we lived (whilst in the body)... Some will be resurrected to: (aionian) 'life' and others to the judgement of another death for further correction.

I believe we will be where we need to be (for our ultimate/eternal benefit).

It's all good.  It's all God!   :HeartThrob:

  Amen ! Obedience is key ! and can only be done by the new creature in Christ , born from above  though the WORD /seed of God and by His own Holy Spirit working in and by and though HIM

our own new eyes and ears, hearts , Healed by His saving grace  , we must keep putting off the old man of sin nature .

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.

:mock: (d)evil is a temporary creation (tool) of God/good - used to serve His purposes until the consumation.

evil (thinks) it is self-serving but is actually destroying itself and ultimately works for God.  :declare:

"As for you, ye devised against me evil -- God devised it for good, in order to do as at this day, to keep alive a numerous people". - GENESIS 50:20

When evil abounds - grace abounds all the more (since man's limited evil can never outmatch God's unlimited love).  :banana:

Having come to a realization of truth - God's enemies come cringing to Him.  (There is NOWHERE else to go).   :laughing7:
All was created by Him, for Him, and so the inevitable fate of all is: 'God (love) in all'.
(They'll love it!).   :laugh:   :HeartThrob:

The fate of all is a return to Source/Founder (Father)... To what is actual: 'real'(ity), 'normal'/'natural', truth (etc). 
This glorious fate of all God's creatures cannot be avoided, and so all that the ungodly do (by continuing in their folly) is heaping coals upon their own heads - adding to their fire - for they WILL be purified in due time.   :punish:

The best thing anyone could do is to sell everything they have right now  :eek: - giving it to the poor, and following Christ.   :URWelcome:

Amen !  :dsunny:   :HeartThrob:

(spurned off of or that is in response to the ancient spiritual propaganda myth delusion/enchantment of afterlife torment, eternal oR temporary).

So true Marie.

And there is another evil out there nowadays which I see more and more...
...The fake NDE... People claiming the OPPOSITE of hell in many respects - the idea that there is NO sin and NO judgement (everyone enters paradise/heaven - regardless of what they did in the body). - A wonderful afterlife awaiting all after this life/death - regardless of what 'god' they followed (as though there can be two truths).

...Which is just as unscriptural, and leading many who don't STUDY astray... The old '(d)evil masquerading as a messenger of light' thing again.

But... So it must be for all righteousness.  :HeartThrob:

Mankind is separated from the angels.
Hebrews 1:13,14
Hebrews 2:5
2 Peter 2:4 mentioned angels currently in bondage till the judgements start.
1 Corinthians 6:3 states we will be above them:
Revelations 20;10 Satan and sidekicks will go through the lake of fire.
The Great White Throne  of unlimited time .
Revelations 20:14 death and hades also dealt with.
All this before the New heaven and earth .
I wonder if the new city is created in the 1000 years/millennium

Hi Ross.
I never stated in my last post, but I do believe it is scriptural to say that there are 'angels' (messengers) who are IN a physical body and angels who are not.  Simply because - we are NOT our physicality.
However, the passages you sent have a very 'physical' explanation...

If you look at Hebrews 13:2 it reads:-
"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it".
These 'angels' were seen as just 'regular' people then, since the people showing them hospitality were not even aware they were angels.
That's because anyone heralding the ev-angel is an angel.
God = love.  So someone delivering a message of love = angel/messenger.

Hebrews 1:13-14 emphasizes the superiority of Jesus over messengers, stating that no messenger was invited to sit at God's right hand, a position of honor and authority. 
You see... Jesus' disciples (his 'evangelists asked about whether they could sit at his 'right' hand or not. 
The passage also describes messengers as ministering 'attitudes' sent to serve those who will inherit salvation.
I am a minister 'attitude' (messenger), as are you. 
I serve humanity - trying to lead them to the truth, as do you.
We are then: messengers (administering spirits/attitudes)... evangelists... bringing the gospel/evangel.
There is nothing here about some bodyless 'spirits' going around helping humanity.

2 Peter 2:4.
As I stated in my last post concerning this passage; these 'angels' were people who 'knew' the truth, yet STILL chose to rebel.  Later in Peter, he refers to such as: 'twice dead' and that it would have been better if they had not known the proper Way than to know the Holy command and then turn from It. - With no hope of salvation in this age now (having blasphemed no-doubt the Holy Spirit); they are held in 'chains' (not literally) UNTIL the judgement.
The passage merely says that God doesn't EVEN spare sinning messengers (nevermind the rest of humanity!), since:
"...if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" 1 Peter 4:18-19.
Again, there is nothing here about bodyless spirits, but rather a 'hard' command to keep striving to do our best for the Kingdom (even if we have turned from God in the past).
"Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case?the things that have to do with salvation". (HEBREWS 6:9).  (Renewed unto repentence).


1 Corinthians 6:3 states that believers will judge: 'angels' (messengers).  Of course! - The Saints judge the WHOLE world, since it is God operating through them, and so they will judge each other. - They are the only ones fit TOO judge (because they KNOW (and practice) TRUTH). ("What you bind on earth - bound in heaven") (etc). 
Judging:- meaning to make decisions about - decisions of truth justice and love for ultimate benefit of any offender and for all.
The passage here is simply making a comparison - showing a distinction with earthly affairs and spiritual affairs...
"Have you not seen so as to know that we shall continue shifting, separating, evaluating and making decisions about agents - why not, indeed, the affairs and business matters of everyday life?

Revelations 20;10
Here evil itself (d)evil is indeed destroyed (by GoOD/love). - How can it 'end' (omega) any other Way? - (When God IS The end and God IS The Way)? 
Evil is destroyed along with the beast (evils' physical manifestation on earth) along with the false prophet/antichrist/those in oppostion to God.
I get the feeling you are seeing these: 'three' as three: 'beings' alone? - And not as say: the 'mass' of humanity (which they depict) (prostitute sitting upon beast that sits on many waters (peoples)) (etc)?

I could go on if you wanted me to Ross, but I am in quite poor health, so can't sit at a computer too long.

I would only want to chat further about this if it was benificial for you in any way.
