Of What Use Is The Judgement Day? by frank317: 10:59pm On Apr 17, 2013
Hi guys, i will really like Christians in the house to help me explain this and also answer relating question.

please of what use if the Judgement day? Is it for God to prove to us that we were sinners? or for the devil to explain to God how we sinned? or for us to at least defend ourselves? will we have our lawyers?

why will God want to judge us? is it to condemn us? or to just justify any punishment or blessing that might be meant for us after death? thank you

thanx,

but i want those who dont believe its a scam to clear the air for me. perhaps God wants to give us opportunity to defend outselves on judgement day... if not what is the purpose for it?

it serves no prupose. The Gods are SPiritual Forces, not lawyers.

Revelation 20:11-15
Revelation 22: 11-16

The whole purpose of our existence is a selection process
where people make their choices.
Characters are formed, alliances are made, positions are taken for or against the owner of the universe.
As you make your bed, so you will lie on it.
Judgement is not a trial or the charade you seem to describe.
Position have been taken. The trial has been completed.
The Lord now comes and delivers judgement at the Supreme Court level.
No appeal: No surrender.

Take your position and keep on with it.

u said trial has been completed? how where and when.
yes position have been taken, so u think the Lord wont want to give humans a chance why people chose a particular position?
well, i think if judgment day is just to deliver judgement then its really not as important as it sounds... the lord might as well just let people go to hell after death rather was unnecessary town to deliver judgement to billions of people for the sake of it,

Another question that stumps christains!
Re: Of What Use Is The Judgement Day? by VanTee20(m): 7:56am On Apr 18, 2013
I don't think there is anytn that can stump christians in this question.

The Judgement day, to me, is the day when all people in the world, young, old, living, dead, male, female, will stand before God's seat of judgement to be judged based on their earthly deeds.

The main purpose, i think, is to seperate God's children from the devil's and to given blessings & punishment unto whom it's due.

Doesnt god already know who is good and who is bad? What is the point of the judgement day when god already knows what you have done and where you are going to? Is God into ceremonies and entertaining court cases?

how does ur answer not confuse ur own self? my pastors always preach that God searches the heart... he know when we repent or sin.

does judgement means separation? have ever been to court? is separation done in the court... judgement means a process of determining if one is guilty or innocent. if God know when a sinner dies, what is the use of setting a day for separating, what does he stand to achieve with this set, much talked about date?

if we are going to b judged wont we b given an opportunity to defend ourselves?

I don't know about that..... The way I see it is, although God knows what i have done and where I should go, he wants me to know why i should go to hell before sending me off there......

My answer doesn't confuse me. I agree that God searches hearts & knows when we 'truly' repent.

Of course seperation is done in court. Come to think of it, will the condemned not be seperated from acquitted after judgment?

If you are a sinner, you have no excuses for that. Yes, we were born in inequity but God has paved ways 4 our salvation by sending Jesus to us and we also av the freewill to choose btwn right & wrong.

I don't think we can defend ourselves in heaven, why? Cos we can only defend ourselves against false allegations.

Not in good fate, in REGRET. why do you keep talking about defence? It's not as if lies will be told against you. It's judgement based on what you did, c'est finis.

honestly i am yet to understand how this judgement will be fair or how it is even a judgement at all.

for instance... if in the course of my life here on earth i am from India and someone preaches about Christ to me and i disagree with the preaching with the confident that what the preacher says are false. how will God just point out my sins based on that and judge me without giving me a fair hearing.


i want to ask you. what if on that judgement day God announces that Islam was the right religion after all do you think it will be fair that God throws you into hell without hearing from you?

@op, another important thing to note is that we won't really be judged based on our deeds but by our beliefs. Imagine going to hell for not getting a chance to hear about Jesus; our ancestors are in big soup.

Judgement dat day will come from the HEART! Whatever is ur belief, there is SIN/SHORTFALL/MISDEED there, that's what all the religions have in common. That day ur heart will judge you not even God.
The whole essence is to separate the GOOD from the BAD, whether islam, hindu, christian

why ask qustions like this? You mean SUPREME GOD should give you a fair hearing? do you know what you are saying? are you dealing with gods? God made a way through Jesus Christ for you to choose between good and bad. The one you choose will determine where you will go. Obedience to the word of God or disobedience?

Let me ask, if you are doing evil, does it mean you dont know? so where do you think you will end up? in Heaven for doing evil? judge yourself first while you are still here and stop deceiving yourself.

Have you ever read this scripture? Galatians 5v19-21 and 1 Corinthians 6v9-11. Then read Galatians 6v7: Do not be deceived,whatever you sow, you will reap.

[b]Am a christian, but I can't claim to have a clear-cut answer to your question as I myself have my own questions in my mind too. But I think these might be the reasons why God will set up the judgement day:
1. Granted that God already knows who is guilty and who is not, but some guilty people honestly do not know that they are guilty. Some pastors will go to hell for so many reasons. So God, being a just God will use that day to make it known to you the reasons why you do not qualify to go to heaven or vice versa.
2. I think God will also give us the oportunity to defend ourselves for some of our actions and reasons behind it. Fact is that many judges already knows a very guilty criminal, but they still allow you to defend yourself before condemning you, that is called fair-hearing.
3. On that day, God will open our rememberance faculty and we shall be able to remember every action we took while on earth so that we know exactly why one is being sent to heaven and the other hellfire.

For example we have the witches association of Nigeria, we all know where their members are already headed, right? But we also have the Christian Association of Nigeria. Truth is that many of the great names in this association will end up in hell according to the Bible. So if for example you end up in hell and meet Bishop Kum..... after all the mighty works here, you will be damned too surprised and wonder what's wrong with God. But the judgement day will afford everyone the oportunity to know and understand why I for example must be put in heaven while some other person might go to hell.[/b]

Judgement day is not a day to be afraid of. Infact it is not a '24 hour' period but lasts a thousand years in which christ will judge in righteousness by restoring man to perfection and bringing kingdom blessings upon mankind here on earth. Judgement day is quite different from 'the day of judgement' .
