here on earth, but that there will NOT be an ALMIGHTY JUDGE who will determine whether we have the right to enter into His Kingdom according to the RULES and standards He set?
If He made those clear according to scripture, aren't they worth considering?

We get most of our laws from the 10 commandments and from the "golden rule" to due unto others....most of our parents were taught right from wrong from their ancestors, who used to be more God fearing than todays society. My point being, most morals originated from the Bible, so why do people think it's unfair of God to judge us from the Bible....

I guess it's what you choose to believe in. Hammurabi was a ruler during Babylonian times 1795-1750BC. The 10 commandments predate him, clearly, and you're missing the point of my question....it wasn't to have a debate about the origin of law, (you feel it came from somewhere other than the Bible), that's fine, I disagree. My thoughts are this... imagine a society where we couldn't judge or condemn wrong doers, now imagine why God shouldn't be allowed to do the same? I concluded by saying isn't it worth considering....if you feel it's not, that's fine. I'm just throwing out the thought.

Even in the most lawless situations there will be rules you have to follow (including the strong and powerful over the weak).Most US laws were bible inspired.God will have His laws whether rebellious people obey or not.

I don't understand the question.
Does it mean to imply that if we aren't judged "eternally" it makes no sense to have laws here? Well, no! Societies need rules to live by - whether or not we exist eternally or agree on *which* god to follow.
"According to the rules and standard he set?" You mean our national laws should follow biblical principals? You can't mean that. It would be a nightmare. Which ones? Eating shellfish? Mentruating women? What about (god forbid) people that aren't christian or follow a different scripture.
Update: Our code of morality doesn't come from the bible. The 10 commandments and much more material from the OT was codified into law in the Code of Hammurabi, which predates the bible. Our human codes even go against the bible in many cases (euthenasia laws in Oregon, and end to prohibition, etc).
In my country (USA) Jefferson was careful to talk about the wall of seperation between church and state - so that the laws of our country were seperate from the laws of whatever religion we followed might be.

a sprint pot isn't great deal, yet, for some, they smoke way too plenty and a on an popular basis bit hurts them. yet, such as you, there are larger fish to fry. by the type, you do no longer do time for a sprint pot in California regardless of in case you do not have a prescription (for the Compassionate Use regulation). there's a important and no detention center time. that's a misdeamenor nonetheless, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it carrys no longer detention center time. there is a great number of room for murderers and rapists. They stay in for an prolonged time. however the subject is the drug abusers. no longer the pot human beings who smoke, the meth and coke and heroin consumers. They fail the rehab courses at intense costs and finally end up in detention center and detention center. it is the subject. i've got seen some pot sellers bypass to detention center, yet no pot consumers (till they have been on probation for something else and gave their PO a grimy drug attempt for pot). detention center for pot consumers is a topic of the previous. there is not any room for them, yet nonetheless room for different drug consumers. are not getting stoned and tension nonetheless.

We should have the right to judge morality. And yes, God set the standards for everybody. It is our choice to do right and follow him or do wrong and live a sinful life.

A persons morals determine what they will or will not do. If you have no morals, then the sky is the limit, you will do and/or say anything. If on the other hand, you have very high morals you will be very careful what you do and/ or say, and how you do /say it (as in being limited as to what you can do or say).

uh.. yes it does. when you dont believe that there is an "almighty judge" then it makes sense that we can judge morality. btw not all morals come from a god you know. morals are taught to us by parents and kept with us through empathy. those who can feel others pain wont put others in pain. ...

Not all that is legal is moral. And remember to "give only what is due to Caesar".

I think it makes sense when someone's immorality causes harm to another.
