   2Co 5:6-11   
      
   6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in   
   the body, we are absent from the Lord:   
      
   7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)   
      
   8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and   
   to be present with the Lord.   
      
   9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of   
   him.   
      
   10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one   
   may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done,   
   whether it be good or bad.   
      
   11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made   
   manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.   
      
   The word "bad", in verse10 can also be translated as evil.   
      
   This judgment takes place after the "Ekklesia" is caught up to heaven when   
   the Lord comes in the clouds. At the beginning of the Great Tribulation. It   
   takes place at the judgement seat of Christ, preceding the Marriage Feast of   
   the Lamb in Heaven.   
      
   Hence, what we do in or with our bodies will be judged as we are purified.   
      
   Therefore all those who say that a "Christian" cannot do wrong, or evil, is   
   obviously in error. As even the words we speak, are recorded in heaven.   
      
   This is why it is important to "walk in the Spirit" and to live in the Fear   
   of God. Meaning that we should have a very strict and strong desire to please   
   God so that we do not bring shame on His Name. The fear of the Lord is the   
   beginning of Wisdom.   
      
   Repent. While you still are able to.
