Judgment

PRINCIPLES OF JUDGMENT -

One standard for all

No partiality with God

All to be judged

No changing after death

All at the same time -

Must obey the truth -

(Rom. 1:5, 16; 2:8; 6:13; 16:26)

ROMANS 2:1FF

the standard = truth, gospel, 2, 16

everyman to be judged vs. 6

No respect of Persons with God - 2:10-11

ACTS 17:30-31

a day of judgment

The World to be judged

Contrast with premill idea of 2 judgments, 2 resurrections, 2 chances -

Contrast with J.W. - more than two for some.

JOHN 5:26-29

An hour -

Everyone in the grave (contrast with J.W., )

Both good and bad

2 COR 5:10

all appear (even Christians)

According to bodily deed (no 2nd chance)

HEBREWS 9:27

after death

No reincarnation (cp. Job 16:22; 2 Sam. 12:23 -)

MATTHEW 25:31

a judgment

At 2nd coming of Christ

Already king - 1 Cor. 15:20-26

Not a 'trial' - but a 'sentencing' -

Jesus and devil not argue over you

Jesus declares your state

At death, destiny eternally fixed.

LUKE 16

Death = either paradise or hades (rest or punishment)

Return of Christ = judgment, then either 'heaven or hell' for eternity

2 THESS. 1:7-9

At 2nd coming -

Punish certain ones (know not God, obey not the gospel)

Punishment is everlasting.
