...why doesn't God just call it square when we die? Paid in full, right?

He's already done that when he sent his son to die on the cross (and rose to life on the third day). So all you have to do is accept Jesus (the Son of God) into your life and when you die you will live forever in heaven with God. But if you reject Jesus, you will perish in hell (this is the second death, the spiritual death).

err.. apparently...
the sinner wouldn't be able to pay anything (back to his Maker).
so even a criminal who has served his sentence might have paid his dues to society or to some extent to the victim of his crime (especially if he was made to pay an amount commiserate to the victim's suffering), he still did not pay anything to God
but a sinner who may have lived his whole life in wanton abandon, we live the good life, who hurt a lot of people along the way and who used up somebody else's hard-earned money without paying it back... when he/she dies, how can that be "square", or "paid in full"?
if you believe in heaven, that short time he lived the good life on earth is his/her heaven and so after death... he/she gets hell so to speak.

If the wages of sin is death then Hell is the Employee Christmas party.

the penalty for mans sin can only be erased in debt by a sinless sacrifice cause adam was perfect then his debt must be of equal substitution in which GOD became a man to die at calvary and now he who is JESUS CHRIST who the bible said knew no sin laid down his life so that mankind could have a right to be restored to a position of right standing TO A HOLY GOD ,thru the shed blood of JESUS CHRIST THE PERFECT AND ONLY ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE

the gift of God is eternal life - through Jesus Christ our Lord.
God sent His Son Jesus into the world, to take the punishment which you and I deserved.
You can be set free from the power of sin, if you trust Jesus today.
There is nothing you can do to make God love you more
It is by grace we are saved, through faith, not of works lest any man should boast.
Repent from your sin today
Jesus will cleanse and renew you
You can be a new creation, a new person.
Give your life to Him today - you will never regret it.

Mr. Clemens was once asked whether he feared death. He said that he did not, in view of the fact that he had been dead for billions and billions of years before he was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it

cause if you die in sin you may not be able to make it into heaven,plus that statement means if you live in sin you dead to God He turns a deaf ear to your prayer until you ask for forgiveness

You can cause a whole lot more trouble than your puny little life is worth. Would you say that when Osama bin Ladin dies a quick little death, everything's square, everything's solved?
