Bible Note: First let me make one little comment. I to support the idea that doctrine needs to be established in scripture but we must be careful we don't simply "proof text" ourselves to death. That said let us begin a thought process. Romans 3:23 (NASB) 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Haven't all of mankind been judged already based on this statement? If the righteous died we believe them to be present with the lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8 (NASB) 8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. And do we not believe the unrighteous that die go to a holding place called Hell or Hades where there is a hot dry place. Luke 16:19 passage Again doesn't that tell us there has been a judgment? Or this? John 3:18 (NASB) 18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. What then keeps us from eternal damnation? John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Neither our works nor our sins condemns us what condemns us is our failure to accept salvation through Christ Jesus. Revelation 20:15 (NKJV) 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. So when I say the Unrigtheous aren't judged I mean because of the fact that all mankind has already been judged and found guilty and condemned to eternal damnation there is no judgement needed only the sentencing of those that failed to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. |
