Why will Jesus judge mankind in the afterlife?

Question

No silly answers, please. Quotes from holy texts will help (Bible etc)

Answer 1

What do you mean by silly answers... Do you mean opinions that aren't just another form of Bible?

That's rather not nice. I'd rather be insulted than lose my freedom of speech, honey.

Answer 2

It's funny that 'Mr Unconditional Love' would be on his dad's side when it came to h**l and all.

It reminds me (as so much around religion often does) of Bill Hicks talking about the second coming: The Prince of Peace is BACK! And he's PISSED OOOOFFF!!!  

Answer 3

"those professing themselves to be wise became fools", i could cite the verse but I figure you are smart enough, apollo that you have a concordance handy and can easily look it up, afterall to be so sure that the bible is total bunk you must have studied it thoroughly.

Answer 4

maybe because he wants us to make our own decisions and if he judges us before we die then we won't be making our own decisions, we would be making Jesus decisions to get into heaven

edit: fine give me thumbs down, i like them... i feed off your hate...i don't really care im atheist and don't believe ion this anyway

Answer 5

John 5:28-29

Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

What Jesus said here must be understood in the light of the later revelation that he gave to John.  Revelation 20:12, 13,And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds.  Ã‚ And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Ha′des gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.

Both those who formerly did good things and those who formerly practiced bad things will be “judged individually according to their deeds.” What deeds? If we were to take the view that people were going to be condemned on the basis of deeds in their past life, that would be inconsistent with Romans 6:7:

“He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” It would also be unreasonable to resurrect people simply for them to be destroyed. So, at John 5:28, 29a, Jesus was pointing ahead to the resurrection; then, in the remainder of verse 29, he was expressing the outcome after they had been uplifted to human perfection and been put on judgment.

Answer 6

2 Corinthians 5:10 " For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad". Sin must be paid for either by a unbeliever- 1John 5:17  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœAll  unrighteousness is sin; there is a sin not unto death." Or accept Jesus and his blood will cover your sins and he will ask you what have you done for him in his name ( witness , support missions, be a pastor )

Answer 7

He won't because he doesn't exist and neither does the afterlife.

Not a silly answer but certainly a silly question...
