I think people forget the last part of the first verse you quoted. They thinking knowing is enough. 

That's a FACT....Knowing the directions and following the directions are two different things entirely

I reckon I just depend on what the New Testament of Jesus Christ says...

2nd Thess. says, at the second coming, Jesus comes back in flaming fire, with His angels, taking vengeance on those that know not God and those that have not obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ.

2nd Peter 3 says the second coming of Jesus will come like a thief in the night with the heavens passing away and the earth being destroyed. 

I'm just trying to be prepared for that...the very end of time at the second and final coming of Jesus (or my death before this event...whichever comes first) I sure wont be one to suggest that you prepare for a second chance. 

Whats the 1000 year reign. Tons of people never had a chance the 1st time.  Shoot we even act like we give everyone a fair trial.  Think our Creator has a much better justice system than we do.

If all this True Knowledge became abundant at that time, its surely been forgotten, We now have 5000000000000000000000000 truths. Got a funny feeling that none of us know much of anything. Just way to much left out thats impossible to know. Whats all these other Galaxies,what was God doing before we were created. We know very little when it come to the BIG picture. We have a lot Of VERSIONS.

Difference between a man made trial is reasonable doubt,The Man upstairs at the final judgement wont need no testimonies from any other but you!HE KNOWS THE ANSWER.In the Bible it tells us we know what we need to know,some things are a mystery that will be answered when it needs be.pujo all you need to know is that you KNOW!Other things are pretty tough to understand but that 1 thing (LOL I think of Billy Crystal and Jack Palance when I hear that) even a child can understand it,then just enjoy life the best you can.Shoot I've been blessed beyond measure!Got a son 3 years sober from Alcohol,Cocaine and Crystal Meth.He is a staff member and a Minister for True Purpose Ministries in Blount County.He stayed in that program away from EVERYTHING for 2 years,no phone or TV.We got to visit every Sunday.He found a great wife that met him at one of the out reach ministries and stood by him the last year of rehab and they have been married over a year and expecting my 4th grandchild in 3 weeks.I couldnt be more proud.Gods justice system works just fine if you trust him.Yes my wife and my life was turned upside down when he told me in Feb 2017 but God is an Awesome God!I dont set around and question the what ifs and the how comes,if you do then I hope you find the answer you are looking for I found mine in 1985.May not really go with what you are asking but my wife showed me his Fathers day Quote on facebook and I got a little excited again and thought i might share it!!

Everyone has had a chance...The Apostles carried this same exact Word we have all over the world...And this Word is still available. If they rejected it, they did so to their own destruction and the destruction of generations. And you are correct, the Lord's judgement is "pure" justice for He is pure as is His Word. 

Even back in Hosea, God told the Israel people they would be destroyed due to a "lack of knowledge"....Their lack was because the rejected His word then; same is true for us today.

We have a lot Of VERSIONS.

I see what you're saying, but by the entirety of the New Testament Word, there is and will always be only one truth, one version...Jesus is that one word, that one truth, that one path; The divisions of that word, truth, path are heresies and cannot be called truths because they veer from the NT Word...Being obedient to His "version" is the only hope we have of salvation. He that adds or takes away from His Word has zero chance.

Shoot, Satan started causing divisions back with Adam and Eve when he added only one word, "not", to the word of God...God said, "If you eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you will die"....Satan said, "you will NOT die"....They got the big head and ate, and from that second sin was on the earth and man has never lived a day that he wasn't also dying.....Satan started causing divisions of the Church at the very very start (2,000 years ago) and giving people the big heads thinking that THEY could determine which part of the Word was needed and which was not.

Peter says the scripture is NOT for anyone's private interpretation. We are to rightly divide the old law from the New Testament but who are we to interpret God's Word/Law anyways??!! A person best just do what the NT says and not worry about a better, easier or more sensible way....That's how we come up with 5000000000000000000 heresies....Years ago my family was members of such a heresy until they started reading and accepting the NT Word for what IT said; not for what a family member, preacher or teacher said it said...Sure makes a difference when you read the NT as to learn; not to prove what you already believe.

There is so much for me to learn in His NT Word that I never have time to be concerned about things that I'll never be able to know and understand while here....Paul tells us not to get caught up in fables, endless genealogies, and foolish questions; so I never debate one as to what the Word says, I just state what the Word says. Who am I to debate His word anyways?    In it's entirety, the NT Word is crystal clear...It's when we try to make a verse here or there stand alone that confusion comes in.

He has given us the NT Word so we CAN know everything we need to know to get to Heaven....Then when we get there, we will be as He is and know about the other things, that really didn't concern our salvation, but will be interesting to learn of.

Think we all sorta believe what was handed down to us, buddiist ,Christians Muslims,so on and so on. I've sorta got my on beliefs by just using what brain I've got.  I try to just use common sense and actually go by my god given conscience. Think our understanding is very small in the big scheme of things.

While you guys have been debating theology, I have been on the beach with my kids (all of them) and my grandkids (all of them). Family + beach = happy CougarDad.

Please return to your debate.
