I don't really care to know about what is not taught in scripture and make speculative statements regarding a topic that is not expounded upon in the bible. God is the judge of the living and the dead. That is His job and concern not mine. 1 Peter 4:5

There is far to much in scripture that is clear that I'm concerned about that has a daily effect on how I live for Christ. My main focus is Christology since Jesus taught the following:

Luke 24:25-27
25
And He said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 " Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?" 27 Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.


John 5:39-40
39
"You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; 40 and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.


Luke 24:44-47
44
Now He said to them, "These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled." 45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and He said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

So my focus is on Christ in my studies as well as the Trinity. All Doctrine flows from who God is and His character/attributes.


hope this helps !!!

I have heard of the Divine Council and Dr Heiser makes a good expository on that matter on Youtube.
But with all things on earth and that which is good as permitted by the Lord... I always refer to the Lords prayer, as I was taught by the Holy Spirit; Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven. That should make anyone pause.

Anyone know anything about the courts of heaven?

what do you believe about it and do you believe it?
The court of heaven is the throne room of God. God is on the throne and Lord Jesus is seated at His right hand. Lord Jesus rules and reigns by God the Father's decree. God's throne for now is mercy and grace. Anyone who is born again may approach with absolute confidence, provided that they come on the right basis and in the right attitude.

For now, Satan has access to God also. He is the Accuser of the brethren. The Lord Jesus represents believers, interceding for us according to God's will. As long as our confession is correct, Satan's accusations are rendered null and void. Our response to accusation should be, "Yes, but the precious blood of Christ has paid for my sin". When we confess our sin, the precious blood of Christ erases that sin as if it never happened. When God looks at Satan's charge sheet, it is blank! Case dismissed.

We need to remember that heaven is our home, not our destination. God delights in His people and wants to have fellowship with us. He is on our side, for us, not against us. He is far more willing to give than we are to receive. Too many Christians think in terms of material blessings. O.K, we have to live. But we are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. God's desire is that the blessings we have stored up in heaven be released here on the earth.

We receive these blessings - wisdom, revelation, peace, power in the Holy Spirit, joy, love, victory, overcoming etc. as we ask. It is so simple that often, we miss it. "Oh, I couldn't ask God for that." Why not? God is the ultimate Giver. He gave us His only Son. Nothing else comes close. The only time God withholds is when it would harm us.

Yes!

First, the judgment has already been rendered (Gen. 6:5; Jn. 3:18-19 and elsewhere)
Second, all stand already condemned apart from Christ and love darkness because their deeds are evil.
Third, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ (Rom. 8:1)
Fourth, for those in Christ the Judge, the Plaintiff, the Prosecutor, the Defense Attorney, and the Defendant are all the same person:


Christ crucified and resurrected!

Romans 8:31-39
