Whoops guess someone got the last judgement scenerio wrong.

Come ye blessed for I was hungry and you gave me to drink... but not you, you degenerate .....(fill in blanks).

You make god into a boogeyman, then wonder why good people dislike churches.

Jesus bears our burdens and died to save us. Don’t you recognize how deep is his mercy?

I understand how big AND willing God is. Do you understand that Salvation, and being saved, is a personal, individual choice due to wo/man’s Free Will and,therefore, God does not presume to force anyone into making the choice He desires? That those who have accepted Christ as Savior do not face Christ at the Great White Throne Judgment leading to eternal damnation but the Judgment Seat of Christ where only one’s works are judged as by fire and rewards received, if any, therefrom?

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

John 3:16 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.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 10:9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

No, it's not wrong.

Jesus isn't talking about saints in the church age where salvation by grace through faith in Christ.

He's talking about the end times.

But anyone familiar with Scripture would know that.
