But, it is a black marble of sin.... a black cantaloupe or and a black basketball.

All sin, big and small is all black.


No argument there.

What does The Book advise about blasphemy?




The follow-on thought: At judgment day, one standing before God can be seen as holding a ball.... representing all,the sins and misdeeds of that one’s life. Some are standing there with little black balls and some are there with huge black balls.

The one with a little ball might think...... “Ok, I have only a little black ball and look at the others with very large black balls” ....

Then they find that God is ..... so-to-speak.... judging not on the size of the black balls of sin, but on the color of the balls.

It is a no go if your ball is black.



You left out the matters of repentance and salvation before judgement.

Jus sayin.




Yes....but...... two judgments..... the great throne judgment and the Bema seat...... different judgments, different folks and different criteria for the judgments.

The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”
