In my original post the first line down (or so)
?If you don?t want to know about the Bible or Religion just stop now! Don?t read any further and if you just want to make problems just stop now!?
Do what you wish or say what you want.
Im not trying to ?Convert ?anyone just sharing some Bible info.
If you?re not able to understand a Volcano illustration that?s your problem, I know for a fact there where people at ?mt saint Helen? that stayed when they were told to get out. and died either berried alive or burnt by the hot ash . so not everyone will think clear and not everyone will choose to leave even when there is a very real situation . some people will stay . To me that?s just stupid but hey that?s there choice
Your choice sounds to be the same. * woot go freedom of choice*
I choose to believe in the Bible and take it as truth in so doing have a responsibility to share what I know with others and inform them of the day coming be that happy or sad each person as a individual will make a choice .
I like that God looks at us in a individual way . not like the War machines of today that drop a Bomb on a city from 30k feet in the air and wiping out people on a mass scale . at Radom killing.
In the end each one will have to answer for what each person does.
Jesus acknowledged that God had appointed him as a judge who met the divine standard. At John 5:22 he said: "For the Father judges no one at all, but he has committed all the judging to the Son." After mentioning a coming resurrection of those who are in the memorial tombs, Jesus added: "I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative; just as I hear, I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me."-John 5:30; Psalm 72:2-7.
How well this assurance harmonizes with what we read at Acts 17:31! There Paul too gave assurance that the Son would "judge the inhabited earth in righteousness." That certainly does not suggest any rigid, inflexible, and unfeeling justice, does it? Rather, righteous judgment involves tempering justice with mercy and understanding. Let us not overlook this: Though Jesus is now in heaven, he has been a human. So he can be empathetic. At Hebrews 4:15, 16 Paul touches on this in describing Jesus as a high priest.
While reading Hebrews 4:15, 16, think of the relief we should feel to have Jesus as Judge: "For we have as high priest [and judge], not one who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tested in all respects like ourselves, but without sin. Let us, therefore, approach with freeness of speech to the throne of undeserved kindness, that we may obtain mercy and find undeserved kindness for help at the right time." In courtrooms today, it is often frightening to be called before the Bench. Yet, in the case of Christ as Judge, we can 'approach with freeness of speech that we may find mercy, undeserved kindness, and help at the right time.' Regarding time, however, you have good reason to ask, 'When will Jesus judge mankind in righteousness?'
