1. What happens to the weeds and does this exclude Christians?
The weeds are cast into the fire and destroyed, as any gardener would do. Christians are not going to the lake of fire, but are saved by the sacrifice of Jesus - God in the flesh.
1Pe 4:17 For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin first among Gods own children. And if even we Christians must be judged, what terrible fate awaits those who have never believed Gods Good News?
2. Is "everything" people?
Everything of what? All people who do not acknowledge God and do evil in this life will be held accountable for their actions - yes.
3. Is sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like evil?
Yes, this is what the Bible says. These things do not promote the fruits, the good things, of the Holy Spirit.
Galations 5:19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure,
20 idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group,
21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22
But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
25 If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirits leading in every part of our lives.
4. Is it possible to not be evil?
Of course it is. That is why God has offered us the new birth into His family and given us His Spirit to help us overcome the desires of our flesh. First off, He covers our sins with His own blood and pays the price for our sins somthat we can stand before God covered in the innocence of Jesus' shed blood. We have this unmerited favor because He loved us first and gave His life for us. The question is to man, will they respond to his love with obedience to His word or just use him and disobey?
1Jo 4:10 This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
Ro 3:22 We are made right in Gods sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.
2Co 5:21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
5. What did the Son of Man die for if he originally came for the sinners, but will weed them out in the end only to later cast them into hell?
He weeds out the evil or bad ones that refuse His gift of salvation and His Spirit to overcome sin in their lives. Do you think that murderers that never repent of their sin deserve the same reward as a person who lives his whole life helping others? Sinners that repent of sin and hunger for righteousness with God - right standing with God - will be forgiven their sins, but those that do not turn from sin and fight the good fight against the flesh and its death are not saved. This is clear in scripture. If we sow to the flesh and invest our lives doing the works of the flesh we will die, but if we live our lives following the spirit He gives us we will have the fruits of the Spirit of God in our lives and live forever with God as His family.
God requires us to grow up and live lives of service and love to others, not just selfish lives of lusting after things in life. He asks when He comes back if we fed Him or clothed Him, and He asks if we visited Him when He was sick or if we gave Him shelter, even when He was a stranger. He says to thoise that say when did I see you, that when we do it to the least person we have done it to Him, so we have a great responsibility in life to do good things and not just waste our time. He wants His family to be full of good deeds and full of love for each other, but most of all He wants us to love Him, and why should we not? He has given us such great gifts, even life itself is a gift we cannot give. We have inherited death from Adam, our natural father, but we have new eternal life through Jesus whose father was the Holy Spirit and not a man. We have to show true love to God and do it in spirit and in truth - not just talking about it..
I JOHN 3:16-19 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with ACTIONS and TRUTH. This then is how we KNOW that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us.
JAMES 2:1-4-19 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "go I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is DEAD. But someone will say. "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I Do. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that - and shudder.
Proverbs 31:8-9 Speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.
LUKE 6:46 Why do you call me "Lord, Lord" and not do what I say?
I JOHN 3:24 Those who OBEY his commands live in him, and he in them.
I JOHN 5:3 For this is the love of God, to OBEY his commands. And his commands are not burdensome.
Jeremiah 22:16 He defended the cause of the POOR & NEEDY, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to KNOW me! declares the Lord.
