Judgment Day Follow-Up

Sunday, July 12th, 2009 : By Eric Farr

In a previous post, I dealt with a question about the final judgment. One aspect of the question had to do with why there is a judgment if it is a simple matter of unbelievers being condemned and believers being pardoned and entering paradise with the Lord.

In that post, I covered some background on the final judgment. Now I would like to expand on the question of why believers stand in judgment if Christ has already been judged in our place. This is something that was cloudy for me before I examined it more closely and now brings a lot of things together. Much of this comes from the message What Happens When You Die? All Appear Before

The Leadership Team answers your questions.

Q1 (1:32). If someone fully believes that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again, yet they are a murderer and kill a ton of people, will they still go to Heaven? Why is there Judgment Day if it is black and white – People who believe in Jesus go to heaven and people who do not go to Hell? What is Judgment Day when we stand before the Lord for then?

Q2 (17:26). A friend of mine who is a Christian was discussing George Tiller’s death with me. He felt it was justified; not an evil act or even wrong for …

Maybe it is a latent virus ready to engulf the world (e.g. the “swine flu”). Maybe it is an out-of-control dictator like North Korea’s Kim Jong-Il or the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. While both of these men possess an ideology that poses a threat to the world through the development of nuclear weapons; can they be branded with the label of being the most dangerous thing in the entire world? Today, you will find out what this “thing” is and consider what steps we need to take in order to disarm it. James

The Leadership Team answers your questions.  

Q1 (2:29):  Several years ago, I had an argument with my sister-in-law in which she accused me and my husband of all sorts of transgressions against members of the family.  The big problem was that not a single one of those offenses was against her.  After the argument, we received calls from the remaining siblings who were present at my toungue lashing telling me that they held nothing against my husband and me and didn’t even know what offenses the sister-in-law was talking about.  I wrote an open letter of apology to our family members and asked them to come to us in the future if they held something against us.  …
