‘It’s how it’s done in Acts. That is an excellent guide to how to do it.”

In Acts both Peter And Paul warn in their witnessing of future judgment on those who don’t accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

That appears too deep for the poster to have grasped.

Yes they do. I see it as a reminder regarding Genesis 3. Notice they don’t detail what that judgement is. It’s also important to consider who their audience is when making these statements.

The key here is that the word “judgement” is a general term. It begs the question, “what is the judgement” and “what is the negative consequences”. That is not discussed.

I have a feeling that if a person has never heard the message of Christ, but they know in their heart of hearts, what they “deserve”, when someone mentions the forgiveness of Christ vs “judgement”, they would be afraid. I would be, without the judgement even being detailed. I know what I think I deserve - without the blood of Christ.

So all they are really saying is that yes, it matters what they do, which should terrify all men - until they hear and accept the gospel. Even if that judgement is living in an earthly hell without the protection of our Creator.

i.e. the mere use of the word “judgement” allows the listener to make it mean whatever negative they want it to mean, just as the genius use of the phrase “hope and change” by Obama allowed the listener to make it mean whatever positive they wanted it to mean.
