John 3
(18) Those who believe in the Son are not judged; but those who do not believe have already been judged, because they have not believed in God’s only Son.
some versions read “condamned” instead of “judged” yet the Greek dictionaries tell me that the word “κρίνω” (krinō) can mean both “condamned” or “judged”
and the Latin is “qui credit in eum non iudicatur”

Either way, what would it imply if we “who believe” will not be judged? What about the Last Judgment?

thnx! God bless
 
The theme of John 3 is baptism. In baptism, the believer is born again, his past sins forgiven, and he becomes a new man. He will not be judged for those past sins.
 
For those who repent there will be no judgement - because there will be nothing to judge, since God no longer remembers any of our repented sins. :extrahappy:Alleluia

*Isaiah 43:25 "I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.

Jeremiah 31:34 …for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."

Ezekiel 18:21 "But if a wicked man turns away from all his sins …18:22 None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; …*

And yet, to believe, is to obey. Hence, when faith kicks in, obedience follows right behind it. Lack of obedience shows lack of faith.
 
I could see a Protestant using the argument held by nita to undermine and argue against Confession…

I see Jesus’ words to the Apostles in John ch. 20 showing that there is a need for confession. How could you withhold someone’s sins if you didn’t have authority?

And without confession, the only other way to determine what sins to forgive is if you were psychic.
 
Yup, i used John 20:23 before and it got them thinking how she would reconcile the need of Confession if “Christ already paid it all”

I do not see how Confession takes away from Christ’s sacrifice, but any insights for a better answer?
