My dear Roy, I see where you're coming from, but I do thoroughly and absolutely agree with Catsup on every point she makes! I learned a lot from VPW and others in TWI. I am thankful to God for all my godly experiences, knowledge and eternal life! Personally, I would find it difficult to forgive him for the partial truths that I and many are left to rework; and the divisions in the body of Christ...doctrinally and every other way are more of a concern to me! I believe He, VPW knew the catostophic effects his decisions would have on the body of Christ and he still proceeded on! God is Judge! The only judge that will trully judge exactly right on every count...wisely and mercifully, I am sure!

Wecome Jacy! Where did You here that there is such a book and how long ago was it?

IMHO - I believe that sin is not remembered in the the new body! Below are a few scriptures that I feel best address this. I left the entire chapters for context. They are of course not all of the ones that address forgiveness of sins or the scriptures concerning the bema. I pose these questions: 1. If God forgives our sins and remembers them no more; Then how is He going to judge us after our sins? 2. What was Christ resurrected for concerning our sins and eternal rewards? 3. Why do we have the "Age of Grace"and all that is written under it concerning sin and our rewards? 4. Why will we be gathered before the judgements as stated in I Thessalonians 4: 1-18 ? King James Version (KJV) Psalm 103 Psa 103:1 ¶ [[[A Psalm] of David.]] Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name. Psa 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Psa 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Psa 103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Psa 103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. Psa 103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Psa 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. Psa 103:8 The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. Psa 103:9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger] for ever. Psa 103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Psa 103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his mercy toward them that fear him. Psa 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Psa 103:13 Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD pitieth them that fear him. Psa 103:14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are] dust. [/b] Psa 103:15 [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. Psa 103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. Psa 103:17 But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; Psa 103:18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. Psa 103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. Psa 103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. Psa 103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers of his, that do his pleasure. Psa 103:22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. King James Version (KJV) 1 John - Chapter 1 1Jo 1:1 ¶ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 1Jo 1:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 1Jo 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1Jo 1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 1Jo 1:5 ¶ This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1Jo 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 1Jo 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1Jo 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1Jo 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.[/b] King James Version (KJV) 1 John - Chapter 3 1Jo 3:1 ¶ Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1Jo 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1Jo 3:4 ¶ Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1Jo 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1Jo 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jo 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1Jo 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jo 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1Jo 3:10 ¶ In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 1Jo 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 1Jo 3:12 Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. 1Jo 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 1Jo 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother abideth in death. 1Jo 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1Jo 3:16 ¶ Hereby perceive we the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren. 1Jo 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 1Jo 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 1Jo 3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 1Jo 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 1Jo 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [then] have we confidence toward God. 1Jo 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1Jo 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 1Jo 3:24 ¶ And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

That is awesome Dooj, and very enlightening! Thank You Dooj! It is so nice to find proof after proof that God is the Master of the Universe....With His thoughts and His ways definitely higher than ours....so far beyond our comprehension that they are past finding out. It makes me ponder our complexity; how intricately and awesomely that we are made! So many partially unwrapped mysteries that are yet to be unfolded;...like healing, wholeness and soundness! It will be so nice to have more answers, and understand the mysteries! I truly hope that I don't miss the things that are not mysteries that I could have and should have understood! Seeing through a glass darkly is often very hard to bear when we want and need particular answers, understanding or miracles.

OMG eat 'em; No Thank You! :o I still haven't recovered from eating chocolate covered bugs in Junior High and not even told till afterwards. They belong outside of me and my abode!

Sleep well Dave! Hurry back we are all enjoying your story! It is so nice to see how you grew to be the wonderful and amazingly talented man we all love here! It's nice to have a glimspe of the people that touched and affected your life and vise-versa! It is nice getting to know you!
