When Christ points out that he didn't come to condemn, but that those who reject his message will be judged by his words, does he mean that his judgement will stand the test of time, or is he using a figure of speech which actually emphasizes that he will personally be returning to judge?
If he's using a figure of speech, then which figure of speech is he using. There are a couple hundred to choose from. Which one is he using?
"He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting"
We must certainly know that all of God's commandments are life everlasting, no? If not, which one's?
