If your family was killed by a murder, do you think he should go free? If someone stole something of yours, do you think the judge should let them go, to do it to someone else? If your child was molested, and the courts said big deal, forgive them and let them live, how would that make you feel? If God allowed the people that do these things, and to continue to do these things, to Inter into heaven, how would that be a fair Judgement? here on earth we want people to be punished for these things, Why Is that?

The purpose this question ,was to show people, that think ,its cruel of God to send people with sin to hell, But even though we have stiff penalties here on earth, for people that do such things, we still have people that do such things, Gods punishment is a way to make a peaceful loving place for his children, without the people that do these things, But its not his will that any should perish, but that all should repent.

Because when people judge people they always mess it up.
But thank God human judgments are not the final word.
Heaven is not a reward for a good job,
but Christ's free unmerited favor.
But there are consequences for our choices here on Earth.

We have laws. The courts don't say "no big deal." The only thing they say is that the evidence should be clear and the trial fair.
If you expect your ultimate justice after death, then you'd better pay attention to the sins that get you into hell. Lust, lying and and anger are just as bad as homicidal rape, according to the New Testament. And you can avoid God's judgment by simply asking for forgiveness. Divine justice is whimsical, according to the religious, so much so that it's convinced many of us that ther is no god to act as judge.

The only people that will be allowed to enter the Kingdom of Heaven will be those no longer with sin. Any who have done wrong must truly repent and sin no more. God will be judging us all at the end and those who have done evil and do not repent along with Satan and his fallen angels will be totally destroyed in the Genna Fire.

I sure wish there was judgement too. But I don't believe they get it from God, they just die that's all. I think it is up to people to judge, law, justice. Sounds better than hoping a God will judge them in afterlife or something.
People like that are a danger to others WHILE they are alive.

Why? Because God is just and right. He knows more about judging than we do and He'll do it fair and square and right. Those people (unless they become forgiven) don't want anything to do with God anyway, their decision, so why would God let them into His Heaven?

If that's what you believe, find. Let God and the judges do the judging. I think what people object to, is everyone else jumping on the bandbox and judging people when it's not their business.

You're comparing judgment to law. The idea of judgment is to not form a negative opinion of someone because they're different, or you don't agree with them. It asks you to first look at yourself and the way you live your life before you start pointing fingers at others.

Crime and punishment are distinguishable from spiritual judgment and in assesing the infinite mind of God.
I'm saying this because all you Bible-thumpers are convinced YOU have the power and insight to know how God judges!

If you go back to the old testament, you will see that God says quite clearly an eye for an eye toooth for tooth etc. Handle your business, if someone does you wrong do it back to them, why wait for them to die to be judged? God doesnt "allow" people to do bad things, God gave man free will, its up to us to decide what actions we take in life good, bad or indifferent.

I think some people are afraid that God would judge them. Most of it, though, is that people don't recognize that they have done things deserving punishment.
