Many religions claim after we die that there will be a judgment day where we will all be judged by God. Is this really true or are these merely stories?? Let's look into this.
Judgment day coming from God must be fair and honest for all. There must be justice in everything. Let's picture judgment day together. For the good or believers, judgment day will be a breeze, No questions and no answers, a quick trip to Heaven. For those not so fortunate, the picture is much different.
Will people be able to defend themselves? Sure, or there would be no Justice.
Can you hear it now? Can you hear all the crying and excuses. I won't even mention all finger pointing people will do at everyone and everything else. Further, there are questions of Justice. One. What crime would justify an eternity in hell?? None. Second. Why didn't God get everyone a copy of those rules?? Yes, there are many issues. Frankly, it sounds like a big mess to me. Doesn't sound like fun for either God nor anyone else.
Let's take a moment and look around at God's creation. The universe and this world are very orderly. The system runs itself. Would a God who has such an orderly system, have such a mess of screaming, crying, and injustice of a judgment day?? Isn't there a Better way??? You Bet!!
If one looks with Love in their heart instead of hate, the way can be discovered. Unconditional Love does what it takes to get results. Blame is of no importance. Don't condemn. FIX THE PROBLEM!!
Look closely. God is doing just that!

In fact, all that ask him, is in the heavenly book revealed by God to His Messenger Muhammad. This book has its all about the human in their lives, traces them to their lives, and how they work good and shun evil. Life is a school of humanity, where we learn how to deal with God, and with people and with ourselves. It is natural to be at the end of this study, the test men and accounting. , But we have to be our strong belief that God is just not being unfair to one. As a result of a test the Paradise, or the fire.

Before entering into a discussion of religion and Sharia established by God for His Servants has given a platform, I would like to be aware of the following questions and Inquiries:
What is the difference between the individual who publishes the love between the people and those who spread corruption. Who kills self, which Allah has forbidden killing, Is there a difference between those who treated his parents well treated and the treatment of insults. Is equivalent to evil with goodness, if there is no punishment and reward, even in our Present, what is the situation, and whether life would fall into place. God wants everyone to work good and keep away from evil. God does not want to punishing us, but our actions and what we are doing from work in our lives, are those who suffer thus their.

The difference between those who choose evil and those who choose goodness is understanding. Those who choose evil do not fully understand their choice or they would never do it. Mankind's answer is to supply punishment which is striking back at evil. This action in itself generates evil. We must watch God to discover the true answer. God simply returns all our actions back to us. We can see it from all sides. With true understanding, our choice becomes very easy. There really is only one answer: Unconditional Love. If you do not see this,relax. You will in time.
Much can be learned from watching God instead of following holy books. God needs no one to defend Him. God is well capable at striking back at anyone at anytime. Why doesn't He?? God never acts out of hate, or anger. All God's actions come out of Unconditional Love. Look closely. There is genius behind everything God is doing.God is at a much higher level. If we watch, we can Learn. Yes, I'm watching very very closely.

Firstly, since God knows all and knows it better than we there is no defence possible, nor is one required for justice.
Secondly, none is good, none can merit salvation.
Thirdly, the rules have been given
all the best urban

That's not judgment. That's sentencing.Can God really close those ears to His children without allowing them to say a word?? Sounds like a monster to me.Next, you seem to place evil above all else. If you placed goodness first, you could see everyone holds enough goodness to deserve God's Unconditional Love.Finally,the rules were not given from God to everyone. Everyone did not even get a copy of your holy book. God works it all out without holy books and lists of rules. You will discover what your actions really mean without any needless anger, threats or hate.

6 precious102. Urbandekay is a child of God therefore has my greatest love and respect just as you do 6precious102. Yes, I am making judgment calls based on the merit of anyone's comment. Surely you do not want to restrict my comments just to the way you are thinking, do you?? The interaction among people needs the sharing of views. Let's not let anything get in the way of that.

"you're in big trouble"
What kind of trouble? The wrath of a petty, judgmental and tyrannical god? This does not paint a pretty picture of god.

Remember, God sees and understands every thing. There will be no need to tell him that you took money out of the cash register of your employer because you were due a raise and hadn't received it. He already knows what you did and how you rationalized doing it, even though you had only thought your reason for taking the money. God is a just God.

Jennyze. Are you saying you are evil?? Now we both know you are really an angel. . I guess, I am sending a lesson since I don't believe in punishment. So many times people use punishment as an excuse to hate or get even. Like you, I only have Love in my heart.

Certainly there is the Day of Judgment , will be held accountable for every will be held accountable for every man what he did in his life and there is no injustice to one, it is one of the names of God: Justice, he says...
"Whosoever has done an atom's weight of good shall see it,and whosoever has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it" Az-Zalazala-8 ( notice that tahe word atom to denote the smallest thing , it came in Quran before the world discover the atom and its and sciences .)
He who does good does it for himself; and he who does evil does so against it. Your Lord never wrongs His worshipers.Fussilat-46

Mankind is very controlling. Mankind's ego supplies the incentive to put their extra part in everything. You are right. This can be seen in all holy books. God gave everyone a different view to guaranty mankind a larger view than any one person could have. In a way, you are right. We are all prophets helping each other see.If we look around, we can see the genius in all of God's actions.

Hmmm?? Science is moving forward as we speak. The atom is no longer the smallest thing. The atom being the smallest thing is outdated science.It isn't true. One thing I must agree with you on. We will see it all when we die and go to God. If we are to judge ourselves, we must see who we are. On the other hand, God isn't going to fry any of His kids. If God can create universes, what are a few wayward kids. God will send more lessons.

Ah, they couldn't fool you. Still, constructive judging of oneself can bring good results. The degrading form will just cause more problems along with a clouded view of reality. One should never do that nor allow others into talking us into doing that.

Hi bird: I think there will be a judgement day but it won't be as most people illustrate it and of course it won't follow the rules some fundamentalist and intolerant persons think God will apply with the people that don't think like them. God is almighty and he is Love at the same time. I think that in a given judgement God will consider all our personal circumstance for our individual judgement and of course there's no defence because He knows it all and what are your real intentions so you can't explain anything to GOD who knows exactly who you are. you can feel relieved about one thing, it will be a fair judgement, different from our human moral judgements.

Nice elaborated discussion about JUDGEMENT DAY. I belive when we suffer all the results of our good and bad deeds in this world itself then why do we have another JUDGEMENT DAY. But reading your discussion reminded me of the movie "TERMINATOR 2" JUDGEMENT DAY. WHAT A GREAT MOVIE IT WAS.

Yes, the learning is with the Living. Yes, the terminator movies were all great scifi movies. My cyborg is going to come with an off switch. Of course,they would never have made those movies if they could easily just shut the old boy off. Like with all stories, things must be overlooked to allow belief and make the story.

Thank you for this discussion, bird123. I am of the belief that for all people who have never heard of Yashua (Jesus) then they will be judged by their actions and thoughts. He said that he put the laws of right and wrong in the minds and hearts of all people. When the cannibals of the rain forest are judged, it will be for their lives. All men are required to give an account.
Yes, the mighty one of the universe is unconditional love. That is his kingdom. I love that you have made reference to those of us... the people to fix the problem...It is the way he wants it. He is fixing it as well, but he wants us to do the same... "love your neighbor as yourself..." It is the only way to LOVE and peace. Have a great day bird123.... :) :)

Very interesting. Your comment about fixing the problem suggests loving your neighbor unconditionally. Very Good!! We are part of God's fix. Our actions are much more powerful than we can imagine when we are headed in the right direction teaching those around us. Yes, you do have vision.

I believe it's possible that after we graduate from this life time we might experience 'Judgement Day'.
I also believe that we will have the opportunity to judge ourselves and that others, including our Creator, will be compassionate and forgiving of our weaknesses.
I don't think it's anything to fear and that it's important to be motivated to accomplish great things whether 'Judgement Day' exists or not.

If I believe the Bible to be true, inerrant and infallible, then I will believe its contents entirely without question. Judgment is happening in this world where we live. There is judgment to those who broke the law of man in this earth. There is a place for them. Do I think that there's a judgment also from God? Yes I think and believe so. The best yet that I can do while I'm still here in this flesh is to judge myself.

Judging oneself generally is a good thing and can bring change with results. On the other hand, without the direct experience with God, one can never have a true frame of reference. It is a big mistake to base it all on holy books written by mankind assuming that is God. Mankind has their hand deep into religion and holy books. For the true path, shouldn't one seek only God without any middlemen to tell you how they want it to be?? God is not what religion teaches. God is a much higher level of thinking and being.
