I would say that I usually did my best, and ask for forgiveness for those times I didn't act kindly or hurt others unknowingly.

"Howdy! Let's sit down for some coffee; I've got a LOT of questions to ask you. There were a HECK of a lot of things that happened that made me wonder, WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING, dear Eternal, and WHY did you plan for things to work out that way? Some of your actions seem just plain CRAZY, in my humble opinion. What's cooking?"
And, you know?---I honestly think that I'll get answers, good ones, honest ones----even though goodness knows, it's probably going to involve massive improvements to my currently very limited human brain. But Anyone who can make this incredibly beautiful, complicated universe isn't going to break a sweat about handling the upgrade.
Because if the Eternal does NOT "justify Itself to me" (please excuse the phrasing; best I can do at this hour of the morning)-----I'm always going to have serious questions about Its infinite Wisdom, and whether I can really trust It----or was I "set up" because It gave free will, in addition to very human limitations.
Your mileage may vary. I have noted that this sort of theological casualness with the Eternal sometimes tends to, uuh, "startle" some people. But no evil's meant by it----my conception of the Deity is just rather relaxed. I'm not afraid of It, and I don't think It's gonna clobber me when I act like an angry, or very confused, human critter.....
Peace and blessings to you, and yours.

Men are judged by their own words. They will be silent before God; for they will know themselves as they are known. You paint a false picture of final judgment.
If you have experienced God's amazing grace you know in your own heart that God's conviction produces no word of excuse. Judgment is underway now in what we speak and there will be no excuse in that day.
The only ones in judgment will be those who did not answer or rejected the truth available to them in their life time. Again I say that God's judgment is perfect and there is no voice that can come against it.
The answer is: Nothing.

Matt.7
[1] Judge not, that ye be not judged.
[2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
John.5
[22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
John.12
[47] And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. (this is Jesus talking)
Is this a contradiction????????
John.9
[39] And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
The bible is somewhat unclear on judgment at first glance, or even after major study of it. I think that Judgment Day is different than what most think.
It clearly says that the Father judgeth no man (John 5). So that can contradict your question about God judging when he can’t . He can not because once the Son has judged rightly then the sins are gone and there is nothing to judge. So how does the Son judge, when it also says in John 12, “I came not to judge the world, but to save..”. That is because there are two separate meanings to the word “judge” in the bible. If you say it like, “ I judge you for that thing you did, so you are sent to hell”, this is the kind of judgment that man does amongst themselves. Satan is the accuser of men (Rev 12). But if judgment enters you and is used as a kind of deciphering tool, then the word is used as a sense of judgment within ourselves to decipher what we should be doing. Jesus comes into us to give us judgment and to save us from the accuser. Then once we realize what true judgment is, our sins are gone. Once we are born of God we have true judgment Jesus comes for judgment (John 9), and we sin no more. We then truly throw away the tree of knowledge of good and evil and eat of the tree of life.
1John.3
[[9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
So my judgment day will bring true light into my being and not just “knowledge” that my carnal mind gives me. On judgment day my ego no longer has power and is destroyed….such the fearful appearance of what our egos think judgment day will be. Seems pretty scary for those who do not have the Son living through them. Because if the son does not live in them when the ego is destroyed, all is lost.

Its a fear created, so that people could follow the path. May be at that time it was necessary for purifying mind. God is everywhere without form, eternal, stainless without attributes. God is self illuminated effulgent light within.

I will need to say nothing to God because Jesus has been given the power to judge by God. Jesus, our only Savior, has imitated God so perfectly, that Jesus has been appointed as Gods right hand man.

I will be so happy because I already know where I stand with Him right now. I love Him and walk with Him and I would know in my life right now if He wasn't pleased with me. It will be a great and terrible day when we meet God, great for some people and terrible for others.

You wouldnt talk, the Book of Deeds will speak for you.
018:049 And the Book (of Deeds) will be placed (before you); and thou wilt see the sinful in great terror because of what is (recorded) therein; they will say, "Ah! woe to us! what a Book is this! It leaves out nothing small or great, but takes account thereof!" They will find all that they did, placed before them: And not one will thy Lord treat with injustice.
023:102-104 Then those whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy - they will attain salvation; But those whose balance is light, will be those who have lost their souls, in Hell will they abide. The Fire will burn their faces, and they will therein grin, with their lips displaced.
035:018-19 Nor can a bearer of burdens bear another's burdens if one heavily laden should call another to (bear) his load. Not the least portion of it can be carried (by the other). Even though he be nearly related. Thou canst but admonish such as fear their Lord unseen and establish regular Prayer. And whoever purifies himself does so for the benefit of his own soul; and the destination (of all) is to Allah.
The blind and the seeing are not alike;
045:028-29 And thou wilt see each nation crouching, each nation summoned to its record. (And it will be said unto them): This day ye are requited what ye used to do. This Our Book pronounceth against you with truth. Lo! We have caused (all) that ye did to be recorded.
054:052-53 All that they do is noted in (their) Books (of Deeds); Every matter, small and great, is on record.
069:019-37 Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read ye my Record!" "I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!" And he will be in a life of Bliss, In a Garden on high, The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near. "Eat ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you, in the days that are gone!"
And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "Ah! Would that my Record had not been given to me! And that I had never realised how my account (stood)! Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me!" "Of no profit to me has been my wealth! My power has perished from me!" The stern command will say: "Seize ye him, and bind ye him, And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire. Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits! This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High. And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent! So no friend hath he here this Day. Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds, Which none do eat but those in sin."
