Really?
Then one must conclude 1 Peter 4:8 is a lie?
1 Peter 4:8 "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."
Likewise, what's that "Judgement Day" thing all about then?
Proverbs 10:11The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. 12Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions. 13On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found, But a rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding.…
Part of the confusion is the misplaced belief by many members of churchanity is that they're the only ones going to heaven. Study Romans 2 VERY carefully:
...because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.
All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
Simply put, this applies to every human being, of every denomination, of every religion, from every walk of life.
Be mindful though that Christ set aside something special for those in Him, who among such, some will not even know physical death as they will be transformed when he comes for them, and even those already dead, will arise first.
Don't confuse those in Christ with everyone else, and likewise, don't confuse everyone else with those in Christ - as I see so many do.
The main point however, is that EVERYONE will be judged and rewarded accordingly (at some point), some to everlasting life, some to everlasting shame.
Yup, the first time we sin damns us and we need redemption.
All we need is one.
Now now.
You'll upset MANY FReepers that believe that somehow CHRISTIANS will avoid this judgement; going directly to Heaven at death.
(I don't know whether they also believe that $200 will be collected at this point or not.)
