Question about Judgement Day

[kaffrin1234]

I expect many are familiar with the idea of Judgement Day, that we will be resurrected and judged before God. My question is this: what is meant by "we"? Does this include our, for want of a better word, cave man ancestors? At what point do you say "this species is human and will be judged before God"?

For those who accept the 6-day creation this isn't an issue. There are no "evolutionary semi-humans" to fall into some Judgement Day gray area. There are apes, and there are humans, nothing in between.

Is that your personal view?

Yep.

 

[kaffrin1234]

Out of genuine interest, what are your views on remains such as those of australopithecus?

Any of the creatures that evolutionary theory likes to use as links between man and ape are either fully ape or fully human.

This is not a debate section (read the rules for this section). If you want evidence for my opinion, you can easily search this topic on the internet and find plenty of references on both sides of the argument.

I don't have a "high opinion" of evolutionary theory because a lot of it is assumption, and some of it has been shown to be flat-out wrong from time to time (Nebraska man, embryonic recapitulation, etc.). So, until man becomes infallible, I will put more weight on what Scripture says over what "science" says.

For the sake of arguement for or against "six literal day", judgement day appears to include every one since Adam, about 6000 years ago according to biblical chronology.
I guess that would exclude the "cave man".

Hello,

All human beings will be judged on the Day of Judgement.

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad." 2 Corinthians 5:10

Those who received Christ as Lord and Saviour will enter into the Gates of Eternal Life and those who chose to not walk out of darkness and into the light will be judged according to the things that were apparent and manifested in their lives.

Every one will be given different measures of punishments, just as those who Chose Christ will be given various crowns according to how much light they possesed within'.

God is a just God and gives acccording to all.

Thank you for your question

JESUS IS LORD

Questions by Non Christians - - Statement of Purpose​

The purpose of this forum is to help members who are seeking to become Christians, or to better understand Christianity. This forum is designed specifically for non-Christians to ask Christians, both staff and members, about Christianity, the Christian faith, Christian worship, and other questions about Christianity such as salvation, prayer life, miracles, and the gospel.

**Please remember that Christianity is about Christ and His merciful love, but that different denominations express their faith and worship of God in different ways.

1. All general CF rules apply to this forum.

2. Threads will only be started by Non Christians. Christians with questions about the faith should go to the Christians Only section, and ask in your congregation, or in the Theology section.

• These threads must have an identifiable question
• These questions MUST be about the Christian faith itself. If the question either is a direct flame or implies a flame against Christianity/Christians/the Holy Bible/etc. it WILL be removed, per rule 2.1.
• Questions that are proselytizing (preaching/advertising) a religion other than Christianity (atheism and witchcraft/psychics are considered religions on CF) or are blatently blasphemous to Christianity will be removed per rule 1.2.
• If the question is about the differences between the different religions, please post that question in General Apologetics.
• If you want to ask about the behavior of a Christian or groups of Christians, please ask that in Ethics and Morality.

3. The threads will ONLY be answered by Nicene Creed agreeing Christians, per rule 1.5.

This forum is NOT for debate. Any argumentative posts will be removed or moved to the General Apologetics forum (or where ever applicable.)

4. Only the non-Christian OP may post further in the thread, ONLY if he/she is seeking clarification of a statement made by a Christian.

5. Other non Christians should really not participate in those threads which they have not generated. If they have a question, it is recommended that they open their own thread. If it's just asking for clarification/elaboration as to what someone meant in a response to the OP, PM the member that said it. Meaning, if what is said brings up a new question, please start a new thread. If it's just elaboration/clarification of what is said in the thread, please PM the member that said it.

6. Fellowship posts: A non Christian may participate in any of the three Outreach Forums with a fellowship (friendly) post as long as s/he doesn't answer the OP's question or respond to anther poster in a debative manner. Examples of fellowship posts:

This is a very interesting discussion. I am hoping to learn more. Please continue this discussion.

Regarding debate:​

This question was previously asked: “I understand that this is not a debate forum, but what do we do if a poster gives incorrect or unbiblical advice and will not respond to a PM?”

Please follow these guidelines when this happens:

• Above all, write your message so that the OP feels safe in learning about the worship offered to the Triune Godhead in spite of the diversity found in Christianity

• Always respond to the OP and respond to WHAT they said, not WHO said it.

• Answer their questions and concerns, while ignoring any other posters, especially posts that appear to have rule violations.

• Always remember to address the points made in the OP or the previous post, while carefully avoiding the word “you.”

• Never use the phrases, “you are wrong” or “you are mistaken” or “you are in error.” These phrases are considered combative. Instead, calmly point out the truth. For example, “I believe that Christ teaches us this. . .”

• Simply share with the OP the truth as you understand it, while responding to the OP’s questions and needs.

• If you feel that a debate is ensuing, PM the other responder(s) and ask them to discuss the matter with you in PM or in a forum where debate is allowed. In this way, hopefully the OP or any other readers of the thread that may be lurking will not become confused

If you're judged on judgement day, do you believe that you would be judged guilty or innocent?
