Mark, what do you think the Judgement will be? What will we be judged by, in your opinion?

Mark, what do you think the Judgement will be? What will we be judged by, in your opinion?

Jesus and Paul both provide numerous examples of Judgement. You have been provided by me with myriad verses from both over the years. Why are you asking me now? Do you think that such as the examples of Matthew 25 are not relevant or have you simply forgotten? Does Matthew 12:26 not matter? What about Acts 17:31?

Simply claiming salvation is not going to pass muster with the Judge. Imagine getting a traffic ticket and then claiming that the most righteous Judge in the Universe is going to let you off because you want it in spite of all of Scripture telling you the opposite?

Romans 14:9For this is why Christ died and came to life, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.h 10Why then do you judge your brother? Or you, why do you look down on your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;i 11for it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend before me, and every tongue shall give praise to God.” j 12So [then] each of us shall give an account of himself [to God].k

And what will your account be? Something that somebody else did?

2 Corinthians5: 10For we must all appear* before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil.f

If you read Matthew 25, that recompense can be to be thrown in the outer darkness. This is what we believe; this is the Faith of the Church. Not some airy fairy story told by sugar pill pushers.
