2 Timothy 3:16–17
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for
reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God
may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Matthew 5:27–29 “You have heard that it was said,
‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a
woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For
it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be
thrown into hell.”

1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or the
things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not
in him.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have
eternal life.”
*********************************
Colossians 1:24–25 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for
your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s
afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church,
of which I became a minister according to the stewardship
from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known,
*******************************
1 Peter 3:15 …always being prepared to make a defense
to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it
with gentleness and respect,
2 John 10–11 If anyone comes to you and does not
bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any
greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
******************************
Matthew 10:34–35 “Do not think that I have come to
bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her
mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Luke 12:51–53 Do you think that I have come to give
peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on in one
house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. They
will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against
daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law
and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
************************
Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate
his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes,
and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.”
Matthew 10:37 Whoever loves father or mother more
than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me
is not worthy of me.
*************************
James 1:5–8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask
God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is
like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person
must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded
man, unstable in all his ways.
James 4:8–9 Draw near to God, and he will draw near
to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you
double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned
to mourning and your joy to gloom.
******************************
1 Timothy 2:15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if
they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
CONTEXT: 1 Timothy 2:13–14 For Adam was formed first,
then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a
transgressor.
******************************************
Matthew 7:1–5 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For
with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you
use it will be measured to you….
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but
do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your
brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your
own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you
will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
Philippians 2:14–16 Do all things without grumbling or questioning
[dialogismos, disputing], that you may be
blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a
crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud
that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every
spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many
false prophets have gone out into the world.
PRIDE? James 4:6 …Therefore it says, “God opposes
the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
1 Corinthians 1:28–29 God chose what is low and
despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things
that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
************************************
GENERATION? Matthew 24:33–34 “So also, when you see
all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly, I say to
you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take
place.”
Psalm 14:5 There they are in great terror, for God is
with the generation of the righteous. (“evil generation”)
********************************
BLAMELESS? Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz
whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who
feared God and turned away from evil.
God: Job 38:2 “Who is this
that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?”
Php 3:5–6 circumcised on the eighth day, of the
people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law,
a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under
the law, blameless.
Psalm 19:13 Keep back your servant also from
presumptuous [purposeful] sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I
shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
*****************************
UNIVERSALISM? Philippians 2:9–11 Therefore God has
highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and
on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
ALL SAVED? Philippians 3:19–21 Their end is
destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with
minds set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we
await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be
like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all
things to himself.
Zechariah 14:16 Then everyone who survives of all the
nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship
the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths.
NAME? Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit,
******************************
DOUBLE PREDESTINATION: 1 Peter 2:8 They stumble
because they disobey the word, as they were destined [pre-determined?] to
do.
ALSO: Ephesians 1:11 In him we have obtained an
inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who
works all things according to the counsel of his will,
BUT GOD IS JUST: Romans 2:1–2 Therefore you have no
excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on
another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same
things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who
practice such things.
GOD COULD NOT LEGITIMATELY JUDGE IF HE IS UNRIGHTEOUS: Romans
3:5–6 But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God,
what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in
a human way.) By no means! For then how could God judge the world?
HE DOESN’T IMPLANT EVIL DESIRES IN US: James 1:13–15 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

JUDGED BY WORKS: Matthew 7:21–23 “Not everyone who
says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who
does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to
me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your
name, and cast out demons in your name, and do
many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew
you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.”SAVED THROUGH FAITH: Ephesians 2:8–9 For by grace you
have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it
is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
RESOLUTION: Matthew 7:15–20 “Beware of false
prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes,
or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the
diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a
diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is
cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their
fruits.

JESUS JUDGES: John 5:22-27 For the Father judges no one, but has committed
all judgment to the Son, 23that all
should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the
Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. 24"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My
word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come
into judgment, but has passed from death into life… 26For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has
granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27and has given Him authority to execute judgment
also, because He is the Son of Man.
JESUS DOESN’T JUDGE
· John 8:15
You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
· John 12:47-49
And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him;
for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words,
has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in
the last day.
· John 3:17-19
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but
that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not
condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already (How?),
because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that the
light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and
will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
(Gen. 3)
· Romans 2:15-16 since they show that the requirements of the
law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their
thoughts now accusing, now even defending them. This will take place on the
day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel
declares.

of Jesus in Their Conscience or Thoughts
