@OP, to understand the need for a judgement day, you first need to understand the purpose of why you exist on this earth.

secondly, I believe the Lord has sent me guidelines. A set of dos and donts which we as human beings need to adhere to. Part of those rules apply to my relationship between myself and the Lord directly, while the other part has to do with my relationship with other beings like me. The judgement has nothing to do with giving me a fair hairing, because by definition God cannot cheat (because cheating/oppression is unGodly). Hence, on that day, your deeds will be made manifest to you.

Now take for example, a guy called hitler comes along and decides to kill a million people and then commits suicide. Does that mean that this hitler guy has gone scot free? No way! He'll be judged. If another guy named Sani decides to steal our collective commonwealth as Nigerians but then dies or is poisoned, does he go scot free or is he made to account for his actions. Or lets say, a guy kills my father but has a very powerful lawyer to defend him on this earth, on that day, that Judgement will be repeated and what is due to the murderer and lawyer will be handed back to them etc

When your deeds are presented to you, there is no issue of defending yourself, because you will know that very well that you committed them. It is not an issue of defence that will save you, it is an issue of the Lords mercy.

DanoskyZ: 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
which all religion? Only the abrahamic religions has the judgement day ideology. And trust me, during the time the book of Revelations was written, judgment-day was the ideology in vogue then. Different Jewish sects and christian sects were all claiming exclusive rights to God's kingdom and they were condemning other sects who didnt believe them in order to dissuade their followers from following those other sects. The book of revelations is no different. If the early Catholic church hadnt succeeded in killing off the competition, I am sure we would have had many different ideas about who Jesus was by now.

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

It's for you to know why you are being sent to the lake of fire.

To me God made sure he did everything to bring back the broken link between him and we humans. One thing have learn in my few years on earth is that u are giving the power of choice. Was it not by Adam free will that he eat of the apple when God told him not to. Conscience was placed in human to guide him but in later years human found a way out of it by killing it. Holy spirit was sent to feel that void. Sincerely frank u would do beta by discussing the issue with a spirit filled man of God.

Human beings questioning the plan of Almighty God is like ants wondering about the purpose of the Badagary Expressway: there is no way we could comprehend something so much more profound than our mental capabilities allow. So, instead of questioning the purpose of God's plan and creations, we should ask ourselves what is God's instruction for us to live.

Judgement day is to try every one who ever lived, to lay bare every thing that everyone has done(in secret and in the public). The sinners are seperated unto destruction. Rev 20:11-15. They are seperated because of their sins. The saints are seperated to life eternal, not because they never sinned but because they believed and accepted the work of Christ. Rom 8:1.

The "breathe" in you isnt yours, so judgement day a day to explain to God how you used it. As for me, i wait not for judgement day, as i judge myself daily!

The discussion here is not as important as the planned judgement day. I hope CNN covers that judgement day.

Only if their was a meter to measure how good or how bad you are.
I believe everyone was born in a neutral level and as you grow up,
you got to choose if ding good or bad is the right thing for you.

This is a very complicated issue. God only knows about your future when
you might have chosen the RIGHT OR WRONG track, maybe at a certain age.

In the other hand, someone could argue that; Yes God knows our future
from birth but HE has placed the right and the wrong route for us to follow
with his rules and clues, telling us what the rewards and punishment will be
if any one of us does GOOD or BAD.
Yes, God knows our future but HE is not in the right position to direct us on what
route to follow after giving us the rules and law and their rewards.

This is why we are different from every other living things, we have the power and the
right to choose our own destiny.

If this is true, what's the purpose of evangelism? Soul-winning is based on the premise that ANY being who is not born again and worships the Christian God is doomed to damnation.

The idea of judgment is found in the justness of the judgment.
God is a just God. The idea of natural justice is His. He will give the accused person(we all know that the accused person is truly the accused) to present his case and whats more, He will hear.
Another reason, He judges motives, intentions, thought processes before and after an action, right or wrong. He may judge a seemingly guilty person innocent or a seemingly innocent person guilty. His judgments are just and faultless.
In other words, the essence of judgment IS FOR YOU TO BE absolutely convinced that God's judgment upon you is just, whether good or bad.

The judgement day is the time when all people will be asked what they did with the grace of Jesus made available unto them free of charge. SHIKENA!!

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?

The guy like ceremonies and dramatization. You no see as him take sacrifice his only begotten son .. Wey him don already know say him go die.. After that the guy go siddon for him papa side after the koboko... Harry porter things...or lord of the rings ... Precious all the way...

@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.

Your ancestors in big soup? Haba! Abi your god failed woefully. The guy could not communicate with his so called creation... Your god fall my hand..
