  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why Judgment Day?

Does judgment day apply to those who are saved or only the unsaved?
Hi CC,

Good question. Jesus has taken the judgment for those in the Body of Christ and for the Old Testament Saints, both groups are in heaven. (Heb. 12: 23) Thus the judgment Day at the end of time is for all those who either have turned away from Jesus or have never heard of Him. Those who have never heard of Jesus but have honored God by their right actions/works will be able to go upon the new earth. The others will all go to the lake of fire. (Rev. 20: 11 - 15)

Thanks for responding and with a scripture!!! - appreciated!

So those who have never heard of Christ are judged according to their works? I don't read that in the scripture you provided, can you point it out for me, please?

Certainly. `And I saw the dead, small and great standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened which is the book of life. And the dead were judged according to THEIR WORKS, by the things which were written in the books.` (Rev. 20: 12)

Thank you! So the 'dead' refers to only those who didn't have the opportunity to know Christ?

Sorry, just trying to understand the definition of 'dead' for context. Thank you!

The key scripture is John 5:28-29:
"Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation."

And...

Revelation 20:11-15
11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.
14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Blessings
