Is there court in heaven? I've heard the scriptures about satan being the accuser and stands there accusing us to God night and day, and of course, Jesus is referred to as our great counsel, in scripture. Doesn't that mean attorney? As well as the judgement seat, the Lord is the judge and so on and so forth. But it's really kind of grey to me.

What do we know about the courts of heaven? What scriptures can you point out for me that speak of the courts of heaven? Is this something that we should be mindful of? Are there protocols involved?
 
Hi Brother Edward. 1Pet 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God . .
This is the time of that judgment as we read of the different character shown among the seven conditions of the Church in Revelation Chapters Two & Three. Only two conditions are commended; Philadelphia & Smyrna, and the remaining five are told to repent of suffer consequences. Jesus is walking among us at this very time as we read of in Rev 1:12-13, and we read of the beginning of Jesus' judgment beginning in Rev 2:1. Rev 2:1 . . These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks.

The verdict? There are many that say we shall all have the same reward, but 2Jn 1:8 says: Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Hi Edward,
I have never viewed it that way. In Heaven we will be ruled by the Righteous King Creator. And with a monarchy there is no need of a judge to begin with. The King makes all of the decisions.

Yeah, me neither, Brother! But my pastor was talking about the courts of heaven and was saying that we can go there and watch or participate, and I've never heard that before so came to ask you Brothers and Sisters if anyone has ever heard the same...

I realize that after the day of the Lord, there will be little need for a court in heaven, but until then...I can see it.

and that's about as much as I know about that, lol

Well, I, likely, know about as much, maybe less, as you do.
 
Moses is the accuser for any who live under the Law.

"But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set."

So everytime someone feels guilty and convicted for breaking God's law or 'sinning' its Moses accusing them before the Judgement throne.

Its having faith in the law and rejecting God's grace and mercy and not believing in the one who the Father sent, and whoever believes in the one the Father sent is doing the Father's will, and anyone who does the Father's will enters the Kingdom.

What is the Father's will. Believe in the one he sent.

Stand there and fall to your knees asking God for mercy and forgiveness before the Judgement throne. Everytime, everytime. Over and over Father forgive me my sins and crucify the Son over and over again and put him to shame like he died in vain.

I don't know where you picked that from but Revelation 12:9&10 clearly explains that Satan, that Old Dragon, is our accuser.

Yeah I don't think you understood he first post, or didn't read it. That's nothing close to what I was talking about.

Can only be accused before God if you know the Law and break the Law and the Law come through Moses so whoever lives under it will be judged by it.

Its like one nation you break its law your guilty where do the exact same thing in another nation without that law your innocent.

A lot more stuff than prosecuting criminals happens in court. Well, so they say at least, lol. I've only ever been in court when they wanted my money. That's their favorite deal. Pay us or we lock you up.

You were not careful with your imputed definition and I stand only on what the Bible teaches. Yes, Moses was given the Law to administer it but he is not by any stretch "the Accuser," sorry but that it.

Yeah, I'm sure I read a scripture somewhere that said satan is the accuser. That he stands there accusing us night and day or something like that. That might have have been what satan was there for about Job, even though satan didn't bring him up, God began bragging on Job. He was proud of him.

I saw some video on youboob last night about the courts of heaven, and he was saying that...(here we go, lol), we can attend the court of heaven (in spirit) and get decrees and stuff, and something akin to a restraining order against the enemy. It's probably temporary but that's what he said. It seems that generational curses are real and that some may be getting attacked because of it and one is able to go to court and get an acquittal or stop order or whatever it's called. And Jesus is our attorney. :)

As i read it, Jesus is our defender and if it were court instead of the throne, I can see the parallel of Jesus being our lawyer and I have heard several teach it as a metaphor of what will be in Heaven that occurs at the Great White Throne and I can even see a young preacher that heard that sermon, when he was a teen and getting slightly askew.

The Generational Curses, I believe as true, partially because the scriptures teach it but also because I live with it. When I was a teen and up, well into my twenties I set my mind to never be like my father or my mother. But as I look back, I did the same stupid thing they did. It can be overcome if one trusts Jesus, otherwise one must live it out.

Brother, have you ever tried (praying) declaring the generational curse to be covered by the blood of Jesus and therefore now null and void? I would.

The Bible strongly suggests, if not outright refutes the notion, that there is no such thing as generational curse for the believer;

https://www.gotquestions.org/generational-curses.html

http://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/can-my-life-be-plagued-by-generational-sins-hexes-or-curses

God specifically talks about the generational curse idea.

Eze 18:1-4
The word of the LORD came to me:
“What do you mean by repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’? As I live, declares the Lord GOD, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins shall die.


Eze 18:20
The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

The whole chapter 18 is a good read from start to finish to understand how generational curses are not true.

It has not been an issue since the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
 
Exodus 20 4-6
4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
